Will shooting three under with a bow that is tillered for three under be as quiet as a bow that is tillered for split finger while shooting split finger? Or is three under always noisier than split finger no matter what? Tried three under a little and like it except for the noise. Thinking of buying a new bow tilled for three under but not if it is going to be a lot noisier than split finger. If that is the case I will stick with split finger.
Thanks Wes

Even if tillered 3 under, I think it is still going to be a little louder.
With that said, its not impossible to shoot a quiet bow with 3 under.  Heavy arrows, skinny strings, and bow hush has done the trick with my Toelke Whip, MOABs, and Northern Mist Classic.
My Thunderchild is tillered 3 under, but I don't feel it is any more quiet than my other longbows.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

My Kanati is tillered for 3 under and that is how I shoot. I cant tell any difference shooting split or 3 under in noise. It is very quiet either way.

When I switched from split to 3 under it was initially louder. But I think some of that was due to getting used to shooting 3 under and the way it changes your release.  I nock a little higher, shoot a heavier arrow, and put a few cat whiskers on the string, and my longbow is pretty quiet.

I think that's a good point.  A smooth release when shooting 3 under is a little more critical for keeping the bow as quiet as possible than if shooting split.

My experience is that 3 under is always louder than split, no matter how the bow is tillered.  I do have some quiet bows,but they are always seem quieter when shot split.

I have to HHA longbows.  One tillered split, the other 3U.  I can't tell the difference.  Now if I shoot my split bow 3U (even after raising the nock) it does seem noisier.
