Did anyone else get the Excal email today about their new accessories? Am I reading this right...$59.99 for cat whiskers string silencers?

I literally laughed out loud. I'm sure it's a typo and was supposed to read $5.99. If someone would actually spend that on whiskers I've got some bridges to sell you.

I wouldn't use them anyhow. I don't believe for second that they would last any length of time on my M405!

My 405 has whiskers served on by Boo and not a single whisker has budged. Proper placement and installation is key to longevity.

X2, if properly served they will stay on.

They are probably getting them from the same place that sells to the government.

a lot of the price has to do with the name. most things that are popular name brand items the cost is higher. I definetly won't be encouraging any friends to by them

....$10 cost of Whiskers, $49 cost for purchase of Excalibur by Bowtech.

....makes perfect sense to me!

Whiskers are still there, but I haven't seen the cat since the first shot!

Well then, if they actually do anything to reduce noise and last, then maybe I will try them!

I tried whiskers and they did quiet the bow a little, then I did a little testing thru the chrono. Micro Camo and Nightmare tested. First with the whiskers and a 415 gr Zombie 302 and 303 fps. Same string without the whiskers . Arrow was the same, 321, and 320 fps. When I tested with a 100 gr head to make the total 390 gr. both bows did 330. 18 to 19 fps was more then I was willing to give up. I had a friend stop by while I was shooting and I left him shot the Camo. I was really surprised at the difference in noise when standing back as compared to shooting. I should say I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the bow was. This was all done using Rhino Strings .

Yikes, that is a lot of FPS...no thank you, I can deal with the noise!
