[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2252835, member: 63925"] I work really hard to have a quiet bow that includes shooting at the upper spectrum of arrow spine. Shooting stiffer and sometimes heavier arrows results in ultra quiet bow for me. Never have tuning issues even with fixed blades. I hunt MI, IN, and out west for mule deer. No trouble shooting 60 yards accurately with old tried and true fixed blade 100 grain Thunderheads. You will be surprised how quiet you can get bows today. Most deer I kill move after the arrow passed through. If they are unaware, not wired up, do not know anything is amiss, the bow is quiet enough that it's lights out. Even as quiet as it is, if the deer is wired up for any reason, it will drop at even the slightest noise. I always try to aim high heart to give myself extra edge. Crossbows even at 500fps are like timing me with a calendar against a sprinter. The flight time for any arrow at 100 yards is like comparing a sloth to a thoroughbred. You can watch the flight which allows any natural movement of any animal to occur during the flight time. There is far too much risk of a bad hit due to natural animal movement at that distance for me to even consider a shot. But no doubt it will be nicer option for 50 or so. [/QUOTE]
