Default Sound Suppression For Crossbow

So iv been watching some vides on sound suppression for crossbows. I currently have non one mine and was thinking on adding some to it. From what I saw on the videos the kits didn't make much of a difference. Anyone have any suggestions of aftermarket kits that work? Also where to find universal string stops. I have a Carbon Express X Force blade xbow. Or anyone know of a site that sells carbon express xbow parts and accessories? Thank you

Default Not worth It

Crossbows are loud. You can spend money on trying to suppress the noise somewhat but it will not do much. With the speed of the crossbow, the noise makes little difference. Shoot the thing and enjoy it.

Arrow

Lots can be done...

When I first collected my Excalibur Matrix 380, it sounded pretty much like a pistol going off.

Custom string with cat whiskers, foam in stock, Dr. Stirrup db Killer bumpers & limb silencers, Camo-Form wrapped stirrup and running with a somewhat heavier custom arrow all helped. Now it sounds like a smaller caliber pistol.

In effect, you do this for yourself.
As Bezzola noted above, I've never had one "jump the string" with this set-up.

Cheers,
Nog

Default Thanks for the help

Thanks for the feed back guys. I think I'm just going to leave it as is. I also hunt out of a ground blind and id bet that most of the sound is blocked by the walls. Iv shot 4 deer with this bow at yet to have any "jump the string" reactions yet. Just me being picky I guess.

Things always sound louder shooting out of a blind anyhow.
