PSE DNA SP Noise Reduction

[BHicks]

I have the new PSE DNA SP and love it. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for further reducing any noise from the bow. It is pretty quiet as it sits, but always room for improvement.

Is it tuned? I don't mean the typical "slap a drop away on there and call it good" tuned. I mean is it in spec? Cams synched? Those are supposed to be really quiet bows. I'll bet you it isn't tuned correctly. The DNA from 2013 was rated the quietest bow when a decibel meter was used, my guess is your bow should be no different.

Heavier arrows and cat whiskers.

I think it's quiet as far as a speed bow goes but I've never thought it was really quiet when compared to some super quiet but much slower bows.

This is the second time I've read about you mentioning tuning and you have me thinking. I'm in need of a new string and need to start thinking about it.

I do have one issue...the fletching is hitting the launcher on my QAD.

To the op, I've tried many many things over the years and IMO the bow is going to inherently make a certain amount of noise by design. Install a quality stab, cat whiskers or monkey tails and as Daniel stated, TUNE it. The only other thing is, heavier arrows will be quieter at the shot. Remember, anything you add to the string will reduce a small amount of speed

Slick Get ya a Pro V and no more vanes hitting launcher arms!

It is tuned well and is very quiet. At first I had a problem with the fletching hitting on my QAD, but that was fixed by doing a simple timing fix. I am very impressed by how quiet this bow is, but am still interested in getting it quieter. I appreciate your recommendations.

I think mine is really quiet. I had it tuned before bow season. I started getting some fletching contact on my QAD. I'm switching to a limb driver when I get my Full Throttle.

Panhandlehunter have you shot a Full Throttle? I did the other day and wow was it FAST! But to me it was very uncomfortable and jumpy, but I do believe it would out run a top fuel car!
