Not looking to start a debate, but I always felt that longbows are enherently quieter.
That being said; I hunt with a 60" recurve, for its manuverability in a treestand.

Started with a recurve but switched to a longbow about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Now own 12 of the buggers of various shapes and lengths. Have never had a problem with obstruction,  because I pay close attention to such and trim as needed. With that said I do not hunt with my 68" Hill TD, but prefer to hunt with my 62" to 66" bows, depending on the terrain and circumstances(stand type and location, weather, distance from truck, etc.). Good luck, be safe and shoot straight.   :campfire:

I use a hybrid long bow - but have had recurves.  I would say my long bow is definitely quieter and it's lighter as well.

D shaped longbows and wood arrows for me    :archer2:  

Don't plan on ever changing again but nothing against the others.
