Dissipator bars on Excalibur Vixen?

Does anyone have Dissipator Bars on their Excalibur Vixen?

I'm Working on a Vixen Deluxe and new dissipator Pads are needed just wondering if they are worth replacing or Should I just take the dissipator bars right off and shoot without them?

The bow has a Straight Machined riser so the new S5 system from what I understand wont work on that style riser and I'm not sure about the STS System.

Just looking for any insight here on what other people have on their setups Shooting bare bow or replace the dissipator pads?.

Thank you

You have a rare bird, i would replace them just to keep it factory.

I believe they were manufactured for only one year? 2003 maybe?

My new hunting partner has claimed it and it will be put to good use hopefully lol.

I'll keep the bars whatever I decide to do for just that reason you mentioned One Shot Scott.

Just wondering what the other Vixen shooters out there are doing and do the new Vixen II's even come with dissipator bars and pads on them?

You can shoot it without the pads and get an idea of what it would be like without the bars.
(Just don't dry-fire it

I'll try that Wabi for sure.
I'll take a few shots with the pads off and see how it sounds and feels.

I'm doubting with the Low poundage, sweet shooting nature of the Vixen that the Dissipator bars will make a huge difference.

Might end up Quoting VixChix on this one: "Shoot Naked ( I mean, your bow....)

There ya go! seem to recall you need diff limb bolts to go naked, not sure, you may want to check.

Thanks for replies everyone.
I'll definately try it out without the dissipator pads on it and make a judgement call.
How much do a new set of dissipator pads cost anyway?

Thank you

That's gotta be for pads and bars, right?
