For those of you waiting for Excal's new STS style system...

[OkXbowHunter]

Those look pretty cool. I just hope they're made properly to begin with and don't require a bunch of modification to work right!! You know...like another brand of STS....

Also, will those grooved stoppers rotate? You know, like they do on another brand of STS.... Or will they stay put like they should, shot after shot?

I got lucky, bought one of the NGSS before he was run off, that one will be hard to beat.
For Excalibur to improve on the original STS all they needed was a cross-eyed 5 year old girl with a Barbi in one hand and a ball peen hammer in the other.

I am guessing this new version will be what we need, also with the endorsement of Excalibur.

sure it mounts to the same holes on the riser but that is bout it....there's mounts from under the riser where excal's mounts on top of the riser....not a copyright infringment issue i see with excal's STS, i think excal just needs to name it different then STS system .........bob

I know thers alot of questions but my input..
It just lookes like it belongs!!!
Very well made . I like the concave shape.
it doesnt look very adjustable but it also looks like it doesnt
need any adjustment ..im sure Bill T. has spent the time and research needed to make this a home run item..

Hate to counter everyone but the original STS system actually matches better the lines of the Excalibur bow...lines which are squared/angled. The STS's lines are also squared/angled, and thus match up with the Excalibur bow. The Excalibur STS version, on the other hand, is round. The swooping lines to the bumper are also round, which does not match the squared/angled lines of the crossbow.

What does a sts do anyway? I still havent even changed a string yet ....1000s of shots..can someone explain?

Where your bow string sits at rest is your "brace height", the string is drawn over the rail away from the brace height to obtain energy.
When the string is released it will quickly want to get back to the brace height, due to the speed and energy it will pass the brace height, then bounce back, then back again. This happens many times in just a second. We call that "vibration".
A string suppressor will stop the string when it gets back to the original brace height, the first time. The energy that would normally be used to shake the crap out of the bow, and you, is transferred to the rubber bumpers, which are far more efficient at absorbing and transferring the energy of the limbs and string.

Thanks Pydpiper!

I hope it fits my Exomag. If so, I'll be buying a set!!!

[blackjack]

I want to use the "ground pounder" quiver mount and the new "STS" type string dampener on my Phoenix. It would be nice if the new string dampener could mount from the bottom so the ground pounder could mount on top.

Will replacement rubber tips for the new Excalibur dampener be available?

Thanks,

Fred

It will be as simple as grinding the string stoppers mount flat, or grinding the uprights to the Groundpounder mount concave. Any machine shop could do either procedure inexpensively.
There has been no mention of replacement rubber, but I am sure there will be replacement, 100% sure actually.
