2026 Hunting Bow Sound Test: Which Bow Is Quietest?

The next video up in the 2026 ArcheryTalk Hunting Bow series is the sound test. In this video, I test seven bows from seven different manufacturers – each set up at 70 pounds of draw weight and 30 inches of draw length. I used the same 455-grain arrow for each shot. All told, the seven bows all finished within three decibels of each other, ranging from 71.3 dB to 74.3 dB. Here are the bows I tested from slowest to fastest advertised speeds: Elite Varos Prime Divide 33 Darton Tri-Tech 33 Mathews ARC 34 APA Black Mamba Pro 6 PSE Sicario Obsession UltraMag 360 Thank you too Canada Archery Online for letting me record this video at your shop - https://www.canadaarcheryonline.com/
