I'm sure this topic has been brought up before, but I'm just curious what some others think. I recently bought a Griffin, and it is whisper quiet. I've owned a truck load of other bows, but I can't recall any of them being this quiet. Any input is greatly appreciated.

my Dan Toelke D-bow is by far the quietest bow that I have ever owned or shot.

A good straight limb, d-shaped longbow. This design when coupled with an arrow of 11-12 gpi. is really quiet. Even quiet recurves make a lot of noise compared to sucha set up.

Mine is #43@28 and I am shooting a 500 grain arrow. It isn't a speed demon but they won't hear it coming either.

Massie Longhorn, don't need silencers.

St Joe River longbow!

the stick. fits into the straight limbed bow category. Tapered lams. under 50lbs. Tuned and with vibration dampeners.

Silence. The arrow in flight sounds very loud in comparison.

My buddies "Holm-Made" longbow.

2nd the Toelke D bow.  My whip is QUIET, but this bow is even more silent.

Funny Swamp Pygmy mentioned the arrow flight being loud in comparison.  That is exactly how I felt shooting the Toelke D bow.  I could hear my feathers more that the bow itself.  I imagine that most bows of this design will have similar results...Mike

Hill longbow, b50 string....

My new Tomahawk,

Dave Petersen's Shrew Classic. He let me shoot it recently up at his cabin, it was so quiet I almost couldn't believe it. My father's Matlock Longbow is a close second. Despite its power, it is whisper quiet. T

My Harold Couch TD LB.
I have had so many people comment on how quiet it is. I have had deer fail to react to the shot. I have had people at the Muzzy wonder how the target got knocked down, not realizing I shot. Super quiet.
