Split Limb Silencers

[nvarcher]

How much do split limb silencers quiet down your bow, and in turn how much do would they slow my bow down?

There are several factors that attribute to noise in a bow. Adding silencers will help in most cases. They will not slow your bow down.

Yep you nailed it!

I've always thought adding weight to the limb would slow the limb down. Therefore slowing down the arrow in turn.

I've played around and the only thing other than dropping draw weight, shooting a heavier arrow/tip will cause you bow to lose FPS. Also adding certain items on you string or making it with more strands can also slow it down. I've never personally seen where you'll lose some FPS by adding limb dampeners.

I shoot an invasion do you think it would really make a noticeable difference on the sound?

A big difference.

Man that would be sweet I can't imagine it any quieter!

Hate to say it...but if a deer hears you bow go off...it is not going to matter how fast it is!

Well I was just wondering if it was worth the trade off. Trust me my bowtech is already whisper quiet.
