My Bob Lee take down long bow seem to be very quiet for me, I do use cat whiskers thought. It is more quiet that several different brand recurves that I have, seems to be less limb slap.

My Martin is so loud it makes it seem like the bow is hurting when shot 3 fingers under but my Bear Montana doesn't seem to mind at all.

My 66" Robertson Primal Styk longbow, and my 64" Robertson Vision longbow, are far and above the quietest bows I have ever shot 3 under.  The rest of my bows are recurves, and the quietest of them is my 64" Welch Dakota, which was made to shoot 3 under.  My Robertson recurve would be next, followed by my Dalaa.  The noisiest bows for 3 under would be my Black Widows (doesn't mean I don't like them, and they aren't for sale; just noisy).

I have a 64" Bob Lee that is very quiet and just bought a 58" Black Widow tillered for three under and with the four spider string silencers supplied it seems just as quiet as the Bob Lee.

I had a Dave Beeler hybrid and I shoot 3 under. I shot that bow without silencers and killed a nice doe with it last fall. Quietest bow I have ever shot, period! Unbelievable. Wish I still could've kept it. It was also very fast.

My Pittsley Predator is plenty quiet with the two wool silencers I made for it and I shoot it 3 under as well. But, take the silencers off of it........and that's another story. But again, it's very quiet with the silencers on it and it is also  very accurate and real fast too.

I got a bamboo back, bamboo belly bow made by James Parker. Super quiet 3 under. As for glass bows, I'd have to say my Rick Welch longbow is the quietest , even with arrows at 7.5 gns per pound. Don

I shoot 3 under and my samick is very quiet with the cat whiskers on the string.  Without them, there is a twang no matter how you shoot it.

I've been working on my release, daily, and with the leather glove, with the codura tips,from a major traditional only catalog, really helps.  I am currently shooting a BW PMAX 60" bow tillered split, but shooting three under.  With two sets of cat whiskers spaced about 8" from tip, and 3" apart, it is extremely quiet.
