    I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick than to have to hunt with a longbow

          Get you a video camera and tape you shooting your bow, not only will you hear any noise you can see your form. then get someone to watch the tape and get advice for where the sound you hear is coming from.

            Well, I am guessing the bow to be in the 180 fps mark.
            That's as fast as my Bob Lee when I was shooting heavy arrows, arrow speed is not the issue.

            What kind of fletchings are you shooting? I think you guys just helped figure out why I had a bad hit on a hog at Bar E...I was/am shooting Banana fletchings and have noticed that they're kinda loud.

              Banana fletching is the loudest for me parabolic cut is most quit, shield is moderate

                You might also try 4 fletch on 90 degrees using 4" parabolics. For some reason these are whisper quiet in my bow. 4 x 4" provides as much surface area as 3 x 5" Shield cuts.

                      Remember, silence kills and you are shooting at something that can drop 3/4 ths their body mass in unders a quarter of a sec. I always try to catch my deer commited to a step stretched out on the side i am shooting from. If they are commited to that step it is hard for them to drop as fast, it works for me maybe it will help you.
