sunset hill, no silencers

I have owned many of the above stated bows, and they are correct, but right now for me my newest is the quietest I've owned. ACS with the RC riser in 64" #39 with their new SBD string. It DOES NOT NEED SILENCERS. It's just plain silent. Not exaggeration. The string made an enormous difference.

All three of my longbows are straight limbed and I have no silencers on my Silver Creek  and minimal cat wiskers on my Bamas all are very quiet! Feathers and arrow weight does make a real differance! I shot some CX Heritage 350s with high banana cuts and the same arrow with low sheilds and the noise differance was amazing!

A St. Joe is quiet even with a low brace height.  

With the correct brace height and a well tuned arrow, any decent "D" long bow should be pretty close to silent. no silencers required.

I just got my Toelke whip 2 weeks ago and straight out of the tube it was as quiet as anything I have ever shot.  He sent it with silencers already on the strings though so I don't know what it would be like without them.  Also, I LOVE the way it looks and feels.

Ive always found self bows to be the quietest.

My mohawk is pretty quite as well but not so much as my self bow.

hello,

thank you all for all these advices.

To sum up will narrow my search on:

D shape, straight limbs with a bit of string follow, with a light hi-perf string of very good quality.

best regards.
