Overview
Designed for EXO-Traditional crossbow owners, this string shock and sound suppression system is intended to help quiet shot noise and reduce vibration. It attaches to the riser mounting holes on compatible 2004 to 2014 models and can be used either with Excalibur’s dissipator bar system or on its own. The result is a practical accessory for hunters who want a more controlled shooting setup without changing the crossbow’s core configuration. Compatibility is limited to EXO-Traditional Series crossbows from 2004 to 2014, so fitment should be confirmed before purchase.
