Bowstring twang is going to be loud no matter what at high draw weights. A high draw weight recuve would be loud too.

Yep, that's what the linked articles' conclusion was. But 80dB vs 120dB is a huge difference, jackhammer compared to a dishwasher. Anyway, I'm out of my depth, I shot a bow last 30 years ago. And never as a stealthy assassin nor archery-based superhero.

TIL the movies lied to me! I vividly remember John Rambo stealth-killing a camp of enemy fighters with a bow.
