Noise Level

One of the most sought after hunting bow characteristics is a low level of noise generated at the release. It has become a market obsession and the manufacturers have responded with parallel limbs, vibration dampening accessories of every sort and various machining features. Hunting rigs today are far quieter right out of the box than those just five years ago fully loaded.

For this portion of the evaluation each tester was asked to sit in a different location and orientation related to the shooter's position. Their backs were turned to hide the identity of the bows.
