Bring your brace height up?

I always thought my Buff was noisy but lots of people commented on how quiet it was and when someone else shot it I was always surprised at how quiet it was.  I had rubber whiskers and felt on the limb tips.

Bring it up to 8 and try it. Mine was best at
8-1/4" if I remember correctly. May have been
8-1/2".
Good Luck!

Hoyt Buffalo brace height range is 7" to 8" according to their website.Mine shoots pretty quiet right at 7&5/8".I shoot a padded loop 12 strand 8190 on mine with bow hush and whoolie wisps silencers and shoot arrows alittle over 9 GPI.

Like others said. The buff likes to be over 8.

Tinker with the tuning,nock fit right snap, heavier arrow, work on a clean release.  My favorite string is currently 18-20 strands of BCY-X with the loops padded to 24.

As others have said keep the brace height up around 8 1/4 shoots good on mine and pad limb tips, use silencers and smaller string that does not fit arrow nocks too tight and you should be good.  I shoot my tiller at 1/16+ on top limb for my 3-under draw and very quiet with my custom string.  Pad riser limb pads as well.

I ran my brace height up to 8 3/4" before it made a difference.

Get some of the string wraps from bow hush and good wool or beaver silencers and use heavy arrows.

To be honest I never could get mine quiet enough for my tastes and sold it.
