Well since it's been so hot and humid lately, I started too stay inside in the AC during the day and work on the bow, First I had the rail TEFLON coated (as usual)
Second I was going to foam fill the rail with expanding foam as I have done to my 3 other EXCALIBURS. When it hit me !! Why not try some heavy duty mattress foam ? Well I cut it into 1"x2" X22" strips and with the aid of a 3/16" dia fiberglass rod I packed all the hollow areas in the rail TIGHT! (except the trigger area) . I testeds it with one I had done the other way and there was no differance , both were less noisy and with less vibration . but one is a lot less messy !!!

Third I bought a picatinny rail 3.5 " long to mount under the front part of the rail were the factory quiver bracket and sling swivell are. I used 2 self taping screws to do this. This is for mounting lights , lasers , cameras ect. ect. Next I relocated the sling swivel stud back to the plastic stock , this was perfect for mounting my HARRIS bi-pod and new sling
Fourth I asked enormous (Norm) for a set of the limb shims he has been testing . I installed them and after testing thru my crony. I gained 8 - 10 F.P.S. . That is COOL !! I also added a set of my custom made string dampenners mounted under a GROUNDPOUNDER quiver top mount. And of course , my bow would not be complete with out a BOO custom string on it . I am very pleased with it and love the way it shoots the next step is to have it custom diped in PREDATOR CAMO at a place that does great work http://www.vcfinishes.com/ Then I will have to start on an other one
