How many bowhunters think their bows are noisey?

And if your answer is yes:

If I take your bow and move 25 yards away from you, giving you the advantage no game animal has, that is, telling you I'm going to shoot at you, do you think you can "dodge" the the arrow when the bow goes off?

    Yes, but all the deer, javelina, and elk I harvested with my old and trusty bow(1991)forgot to dodge.

    I shoot a Hoyt and didn't have a problem taking a deer with it. So, no, I don't think my bow is noisy. But I have two opinions here. 1. It is impossible to compare a humans hearing to that of a deer. We may not be able to hear it coming but that doesn't mean a deer can't. I've seen deer jump the string (yes it was a mathews too!!!!!)[B)] 2. Does anyone else think there could be something up with "Arrow Mechanic" and his posts? He has made somewhat off the wall questions before and generally (from what I've seen) doesn't reply with comments after us and still has a very low post count. No offense to "AM" if he is legit, but we have had people come in before and pretend to be someone new when they weren't.[:D]

    all joking about mathews/hoyt aside, yes, my bow is loud. there is something on my setup somewhere that i can't find that makes a "twang" and it drives me crazy. but i don't have problems with animals jumping the string that much.

    concerning your question about do i think i could dodge an arrow, heck no! animal reflexes are much faster than a humans.
