You'll want to use the C2 crank https://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/bowtech_tech/c2-crank-cocking-aid/
With a bit of modification, you can use the more modern Charger but considering you have a particularly nice model, I doubt you'd use it.

Your Eclipse XT is pretty much identical to the Vortex except for color. Like Boo says a C2 will go right on without modification. I did the mods on my Vortex to fit the Charger EXT, the first mod being drilling 2 small holes in the stock to accept the bracket. The 2nd mod is to replace the cord with a longer one.

Tyler, I haven't installed a Charger on an Exo series bow but Danny told me that there's a bit of grinding to do on the stock. Not true?

I have done the mod on a Vortex, Axiom, and Matrix Sapphire stock and none of those needed any grinding. Maybe I just got lucky?? :eusa-think:
