So I've got my bow all tuned in and took it down into my woods this afternoon to practice some real-world "up-to-30 yd" shots. When i got it away from the house and all of the noise that surrounds that, I noticed that I might as well be shooting a gun! It sounds like string slap, but I'm not positive. Here's what I've got on it right now:

CCS system
String suppressor
Limbsaver bow silencers

Ideas?
 
With everything you have it should be relatively quiet. Have someone else shoot it and you stand away from it and I think you might change your mind�bows sound louder than they actually are because you standing 1 foot away from it.
 
Hmmm ... perspective ... what a novel idea! Thanks, TNDeerGuy. I got so caught up in the fact that is was loud that it never even crossed my mind.

Absolutely.... if you look on youtube, you can learn to make them real small & round.... they look really good & i believe they are twice as good as any of the other silencers on the market..... They are cheaper too...
 
Getting the bow and everything that goes into the shot to pull their own weight and one not compensating for another will increase speed and reduce noise. I have no idea what your setups doing. Pound on the bow with your fist and listen for rattling/noise. Fix that for starters.
 
A heavier arrow will help but I guarantee you cat whiskers will make the biggest difference.
