Thank you sir. you make a good point. I also factor in the whole "I want a new bow" thing. haha

 

the best hunting bow is quiet. the faster you sling them out there, the louder it gets. i shoot 70 lbs on my bow, but everyone is always suprised how quiet it is when i shoot.

 

Very good point. All the new bows now are quiet & fast. I just have to figure out if I want to jump ship and shoot a Mathews.

 

I shot a buck who was trailing a doe last year,and when I hit him she looked at him like he was crazy and kept grazing in the same spot,five yards away,so I knocked another arrow and said "what the hell.....more meat in the freezer" and shot her too.My bow is set at 76 lbs (PSE's max setting according to their website) and it is definately plenty quiet.

 

haha That sounds like something a turkey would do. Those PSEs are nice bows.

 

you realy gotta put it on a scale to get poundage. some go below advertised and then the same bow next to it will go over advertised. here is my PSE. i really want to buy a new bow too, but i just cant justify the cost of replacing a perfectly good hunting bow. i spent too much on this one already lol. notice all of the silencing crap on it. limbsavers on the inside of the limbs, and on the bolts of the limbs, silencers on the string, 2 sets of silencers on the arrow guard, a silencer on the stabilizer and the stabilizer itself is a silencer. quiet=kill. if your bow sounds like a 22, they will be in the next state by the time your arrow gets there.

 

I agree on it all. Quiet bows kill.

 

OOOOO I want to *****.. Quiet is always better then speed. However the newer bows are getting faster and faster, while being more and more quiet.. Here is mine, Bowtech, chrono's 301 fps @ 68lbs( have it set way down), love it 1 pin 0-35 yards.. BTW older pic there since switched to a new single pin sight, a bow tech hostage rest, instead of the wisker bisc
