I just ordered them from Danny Miller. He said he had them in stock and sold out quickly. He said he will have more towards the end of this week. I think they where like 54 bucks.

I don't know, we have played a lot with the AirBrakes on the Micro and Matrix and we found the difference significant. At the ATA show we had crossbows equipped with and without AirBrakes and everybody remarked on the significant difference. The Micro is not crazy loud but the AirBrakes do take away a lot of the noise. I guess it will depend on the person's hearing but even with my lousy ears I noticed it. :D

I'm very interested in the Air Brakes, everything that reduces sound and vibration is good in my book. However, it sounds like a real pain to mount them... really don't want to cut any bolts or so :shock:

It wasn't that bad one side went on great the other was the problem it was so tight it stripped out the allen head. I cut it then just used a pair of pliers to get it out. It come with longer shoulder bolts anyway that you have to use.

That's why I'm gonna have the local shop put mine on when they get them in. I'd be up for the challenge but not against the loctite lol

I received my new Bulldog Target today so I checked out the new Air-Brakes on my Micro. I can notice a big difference in noise reduction. It is still fairly loud but the duration of the noise is at least half of what it was. My main reason for installing the Air-Brakes wasn't for noise reduction though. I'm thinking they may alleviate some of the stress on the limbs.
