How can I quiet a recurve?
I'm shooting a Martin X200 LH recurve, 50lb draw. I have never drawn on a deer, but it seems to be very, very loud. What can I do to quiet it?
Thanks. I have silences, but it may be vibration. I'll have that checked. It seems to me that the string slaps against the limbs upon release.

In addition to "String Silencers", you can try some of the newer arrow rests that quiet the noise of the arrow against the inside of the the Riser upon release. They'll also reduce the possibility of spooking a deer when you accidentally tap the arrow shaft against the limb while attempting to quickly nock it. As an after-thought, have the recurve checked out by a competent "Bow-smith" to see if it's balanced properly... That could also make it louder due to vibration.

You can put silencers on the bow string. You should be able to find them at any archery store, they look like balls of fluff.
