I’d like to see you do that comparison outside on a still day. I have to believe you’re getting a lot of sound from the arrow hitting the target. I was messing around with decibels readers and my V3 outside getting a max reading in the high 70’s. I’ll bet there’s a larger difference between the 3 and there a lower decibel level for all 3.
This is a test of how loud the arrow hits the target. And the pse has accessories on it. The accessories and added mass weight will make the bow quieter.
Nothing wrong with the comparison. Echoes and ambient noise included the hoyt was louder, even with limb dampners. Neither of the three were extremely loud having seen tests with other bows outside with db readings over 100 db. I would own either bow, and noise is the reason you aim lower in case the animal ducks the arrow. Most of it comes down to how parrallel or past parrallel the limbs are. Pretty much any new bow regardless of price will be quieter than something like a compound bow with recurve limbs and also have less hand shock.
Have you ever let a qad down manually? like when you unnock an arrow and want the rest back down? I would be willing to bet they are louder than a whisker biscuit. But what is causing the decibels to get to a certain height is caused by the loudest thing on the bow not an accumulation of things. For instance if me and you are talking at 50 decibels each in a conversation and we talk at the same time we don’t get 100 decibels in accumulation. Now if you get excited and you go up to 70 then the max decibels will be 70. It reads the loudest sound.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors twice the perceived volume is 10db higher, because db is logarithmic. Spl goes up by 3db with a doubling of energy, so two people talking the same volume is 3db higher than just one of them talking.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors maybe it depends whats on them I run felt on mine but I guess I was just saying making them all equal on all levels will give the best review
Either way the 80lb EVL 10lbs heavier should have been considerbly louder since it has more stored energy, shooting harder etc. Far as decibels and how they double and are rated, all I know is I was in the room watching the decibel reader fluctuate and I am going off what I seen first hand. When we were talking we got a certain reading, when the bow went off we got another we shot a few other bows off camera and they was all in the realm of the same readings.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors I get what your saying and I have been around db meters some all I am stating is a fair un bias comparison is to do all things equal and that includes even keeping the db meter at the same distance and maybe on a tripod just saying. Keep shooting fish
yall realize that $17 DB meter is hearing the arrow hit that target right? bow noise is also loudest at the shooter because the limbs direct the noise to the shooter. a DB reading 10' in front of the shooter would be best. need to be outside and shooting farther. arrow weight will greatly affect bow noise. compare a 7.5gpp arrow to a 9gpp arrow its unbelievable.
I get what you are saying but what we didn’t show in the video was the first time we decibel tested a couple of the bows we was 6 ft from the target in a different room and got nearly identical results. So then we moved to the larger room where this was filmed, and here we are way farther than 6ft probably closer to 8 yards. So if it was picking up only the arrow it would have changed for a lower reading with us being 3x as far away from the target where the impact of the arrow happened.
They're too close to the target and indoors in an echoing room. Just in the video, but target is most of the noise, so unless you look at a plot and can separate the bow sound from the arrow hitting the target, you're likely hearing the arrow hitting the target. The way to do this is to be shooting at 60-80y, outside, or in a sound room with the arrow flying outside of the room to hit its target.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors that's why I prefaced it by saying "just in the video" because it certainly sounds like the target is louder in the video. Point being, without a graph of it, and at such a close distance, you aren't going to know for sure.
All that echo inside is not a good measure for the decibel numbers. Outside where the bow will be shot is where it should be tested since the sound will not reverberate back to the microphone.
After watching just two shots I knew your data was going to be screwy. The ready isn't reading the bow its reading the arrow hitting the target. You need to shoot the bow in a quiet room and you need the arrow to leave the room. This should only get the bow noise.
That's not a good environment for a sound test... Cause the shape of the roof works as an amplifier. You need to do it outside or with sound-tampering foam. Actual numbers is 80.7 for mathews V3X and 81.0 for Hoyt....
Awesome that you guys did that yeah I remember when y'all killed that first doe with the evl everyone said it's too loud I'm like what are you talking about! Haters going to hate! Also just look at it as percentage three bows are within 1.5%of each other I'd say that's pretty darn good for all three of them and especially good for the evl!
Echo’s in the room, 3 guys who never stopped laughing or talking, ambient noise showing up on the meter, and a video camera bouncing all over the place ....makes for a crap video. Epic fail.
Thanks for watching and commenting, helps our videos get further reach so not a fail at all. As for the video and your concerns, we shot the bows multiple times getting virtually the same results every time. As we state in the video we know it’s not perfect especially since the pse is 10lbs heavier, but never the less it was interesting to see. Maybe you hated it, sounds like you did. Keep in mind everyone has a different opinion so there is someone out there that liked it, they even left a few thumbs up.
Oh for sure, would probably have to buy all of them to do that. I doubt a shop would allow you to tinker with them that much. Would be interesting to see those results though
Just want to add to this biased video with you all admitting that you shoot pse which makes you only make a video like this to support your gear that you probably are sponsored by. 1, pse has a bow sight on it which adds weight and technically provides dampening to shock which can help vibration travel further to control noise output. 2, not sure on how much grip you hold bow being 70/80 lb which is a big shock/ vibration noise output. Not saying you hold pse tighter but could not be visible with the naked eye. But you could. Lol, also Hoyt has additional stabilizer on front, factory or not that’s more than other 2 with Mathews having it in riser and pse none. Really funny Hoyt tries to add more dampening but still comes in last place but has the most expensive advance bow yet. Sad
They’re measuring the sound of the arrow hitting the target at that range.

Most of that has to be the arrow hitting the target. There’s no way those bows are 97dcb
Being inside, the Meter will pick up the echo...So Stupid to try to measure indoors...I mean Really Dumb...
This is the most scientific comparison ever 😆
No bias here😎 just one bow completely set up and had been shooting it all day.👍
haha! big tag on the Hoyt and small tag on the Mathews, NO Tag flapping around on the PSE, redo and get farther from the wall

If the PSE was less decibels and it was at 80 lbs , it should be even quieter at 70
My generator is more quiet then the bows with this type of testing 🤔😂😂😂
Also need to have all the bows equipped identical, sights etc and no tags hanging off the bow
Yeah and the PSE being 10 lbs heavier more energy more string slap. We knew it from the beginning but it was interesting to see.
No Bowtech? My brothers new solution SS with just a simple B Stinger hunter stabilizer is so quiet I can just barely hear it at 10 feet away
Going to do another video with the other brands in it, it will be interesting to see what they come in at.

those rest on the other bows could give more noise. so really its good to see but should be a bare bow and same setup good deal

That's a real cute theory Einstein. Can you explain then, how the arrow shot from the 80lb bow was quieter than from the 70lb bows?

Go watch mikes archery review virtually the same decibel reading. That arrow hitting the bag isn’t louder than that now going off

@@UnGuidedOutdoors it’s also outdoors with no echo effects
The winner is Martin
No, it’s Parker bro
Are you sure you were measuring the loudness of the bow or the impact of the arrow? A longer rand may have yielded more accurate data.
I AGREE
We can for sure do another test and most likely will but that bow going off that close to the mic is way louder than that arrow hitting a bag
Maybe you should put the same rest on all bows? Whisker biscuit is not a fair comparison to the rest on the PSE. Try using the same rest on all bows?
All that echo inside is not a good measure for the decibel numbers. Outside where the bow will be shot is where it should be tested since the sound will not reverberate back to the microphone.
You guys should do research on decibels, 1 decibel is not measurable by the human ear.
last time i checked ,i don't hunt a human, i hunt wild game(deer, and deer have way better ears than humans)
I bet the Hoyt got the least hand shock and is the most accurate to shoot!
After watching just two shots I knew your data was going to be screwy. The ready isn't reading the bow its reading the arrow hitting the target. You need to shoot the bow in a quiet room and you need the arrow to leave the room. This should only get the bow noise.
BOWTECH is a quite bow.and fast and accurate. And no hand shock.
They do make great bows

Thanks buddy! Yeah no matter what you do, you will always finding people complain about something. Thanks for watching
Lol you need to do that out side or shoot though a window into another room because I bet your getting the arrow impact more then anything else
Hey geniuses...There's a new invention called...PEN & PAPER...Use it??!!🤔🤨🤪
Yeah would have came in handy 😂
@@UnGuidedOutdoors .. Lol!! You guys know I was just being a wise Arse, right??!! 😆 lol...😏🙄
Ha we figured
That's not how you do it.. you shouldn't have target noise.
Yeah youre getting a lot of noise from the arrow hitting the target
the ventum 33 shoots amazing tho but heavy vs pse
It is heavy!
Not equal playing fields when you compare two bows with whisker biscuit arrow rest to a bow with a dropaway rest
Yeah the pse was 80lbs so for sure not equal
Gotta take the sight and stabilizer off the PSE!
The stabilizer was off in the shot, and we got to get the PSE from being 10lbs heavier shooting harder totally wasn’t fair.
The pse was at 80 hello
@@kidbowjb so does that mean you can cheat on the rest? NO!!!!!!!!!!
The evl is 80 LB and quiter wow
Love this content!!!
Thanks dude
No whisker biscuit on the PSE.
Yeah and it’s 10lbs heavier, should be way louder.
1 decibel is basically the same as all the brain cells you guys have between each other..
Thanks buddy! We appreciate the watch and the comment.
It’s weird to actually be seeing Ryan 😂

The Mathews is the quietest followed by the hour Ventum.
Wrong
@@kidbowjb Yes. The Mathews is by far the quietest bow out of the three. Cheating the test proves NOTHING!!!
I've always thought it would be a better noise test to set the bows all shooting the same speed and then measure noise level.
Oh for sure, would probably have to buy all of them to do that. I doubt a shop would allow you to tinker with them that much. Would be interesting to see those results though
You're not comparing apples to apples....atleast use the same rests

you've been shooting 80lbs all day? shit...

Dude you whisker biscuits on one , drop away on one , ones 70lb , ones 80lb wtf y’all doing lmao, these numbers are not correct
such a bad test . its just the sound of the impact
Quiet bows are sooooooo over-rated.
The measurement is shit you need stand 1meter away ...
😂 tell us how you really feel
epic fail, echo in a room and people talking. throw this out the window.
