    I would like to test some of my setups for noise and am looking for a sound meter. Does anyone have any suggestions on make and model?

    How many of you tune your ILF bows by sound? I shoot 3under,start out with even tiller with my nockpoint at 9/16 above square.Without using silencers I can notice the difference in sound by tightening the limb bolts a half turn at a time,one limb at a time. I may be wrong but if the limbs are...
