Thanks guys for all the info. I think I'll wait for the Excalibur version.

From what the guys with the STS system on this site have said, the system has to be modified to fit an Excalibur. Something about trimming the stoppers... someone can be much more specific I'm sure- chime in guys.

The stopper is not the problem its my riser. I would have to cut alot of the rubber of to let the string just rest against it, thus defeating the purpose of it. Most risers have a flat edge but mine is curved and has three different holes on each side. There is a pretty big gap between the riser and the bracket. I will post some pics, and yes i know my bolts are rusty.

my exocet is the newer riser and mine fit great....i trimmed the alum bars a bit to allow more adjustment to my strings brace height "IF" i wanted to....where i keep my brace height the STS fit perfect with my string just inside the high brace mark....if i want to move it forward all i need to do now is trim the rubber pads how ever much i want/need to move my brace height, right now my bow is shooting great and it's not broken so i'm not gonna fix it :wink: ..........bob
