Dissipater pads on excaliber axiom
 

Just got excaliber axiom thinking about gettings some Dissipater bar and pads. to help quit bow down . do they work very well thanks for any help.

They will not quite it down at all. I would recommend the S5s though.

You can not quite down a recurve crossbow really. The animals are always going to hear it. In fact this goes for every crossbow made. None are quite.

Agreed. Lower the noise for you, not the deer.

Sims & Bowjax are two brands of dampeners you can try to help cut noise and vibrations.

Damp the foot stirrup, string stops if any, limbs & to be really fully damped as possible also the string release/trigger group. Both Sims and Bowjax make products to do all but the trigger group. That last area, the trigger group, is one that has to be figured out on a case by case situation.

When it comes to the limb dampeners I would suggest placing the dampeners on the inside of the bow limbs. Reason for this is that way they stay on better.

As I don't know many details about your bow, I can't offer anything more than this list of what areas to work on.

A heavier arrow is also a good way to lower noise, though this also reduces the bows speed.

Even a fully and well dampened xbow is still going to be heard by the deer, there is little question of that.

BUT the goal should be not so much the deer not hearing it, but to lower the noise enough that the deer is not spooked into the "jump the string" type of instantaneous reaction.

I shoot a Scorpyd SLP 165, and I"m still working on this myself, but from what I've done I can tell you that it is possible to lower the noise a good deal.

I hope some of this is of help to you with your bow....:party0005:

Along with the noise reduction, you'll also find a lower level of vibration/shock. This will help accuracy which is one plus. When hunting that lower vibration/shock will also help you to see where your arrow hits better. For ME that is as important as anything you'll get when dampening a xbow, less noise for me is the side effect.

I know you did not ask about vibration, more about noise for you, but these are side benefits that you get with the lower noise.

Thanks for all the tips
