I really like my cheekpiece. It helps me with quick alignment when i pull it up to shoot. So CHEEK for me.

I can throw it on tonight. I have a piece cut and because it surrounds the pipe and has a slit down one side you can just put it on and take it off as you would like and it only costs probably less than one dollar :mrgreen:

Hey John,
I will say that was one of the best accessories that excalibur has made, it just makes the fit and feel so much better.I wouldn't do without a cheek piece and they look great. So, To Cheek For Me, :D .
Thanks,
Raymond

I have to agree with Raymond, it was by far, the best accessory I've added to my crossbow.

The Equinox comes with a cheek piece and I wouldn't shoot an Excalibur without one. It gives me proper eye to scope alignment and my daughter loves it too.

My 380 came with it. Feels sweet on my soft, delicate cheeks. Not taking it off. The crossbow that I learned to shoot on didn't have one and I didn't really notice it until I had one. But that crossbow was also a much smaller compound. Anywho, the point is cheekpiece gets my vote. :)

I took mine off and made one out rags and tape. Tried the rubber one off my rifle, but was too big to stay on. Hated that plastic one.
