Honestly, nothing. Some folks like to customize their equipment, take it apart and learn the components etc. I have had one trigger turn gritty feeling on one of my bows and decided to swap it out and I thought the change did wonders. I became a believer after a few years, but I have to think that this new trigger from Excalibur addresses those issues and deserves another chance for me. I liked every stock trigger until I didn’t. I found some rust inside threads etc. on my newly acquired model and decided to start clean. These 200# models have great triggers from the factory, but time is the enemy. I want to kill what I decide to shoot without any hiccups. JMHO.
Dan, the trigger units use MoS2 and they should not get worse. Spraying things like WD40 or even dropping a lubricating oil can eventually remove that MoS2. MoS2 is there to prevent galling which is largely responsible for a trigger becoming gritty. MoS2 is also very good as a rust inhibitor.

Thanks again Boo, it is REQUIRED! Now, if you're bow has an ADF Scope Mount, you're good to go since the hold down spring is mounted to the scope mount underneath! You could drill & tap the trigger, but throw the warranty away! :eusa-think:

You can also drill and tap the scope mount and move the hold down spring from the trigger to the scope mount. I had to do that to my 355. But I can't remember why.

True, that could have been an option. I also heard that someone cut the ADF length to accommodate a Nikon Bolt. I'm not actually working on it right now, but trying to get some time. Eldest Daughter, 3 weeks to 4 before delivery, youngest just moved to another home, and it's time to get the boat ready. :lol: :lol:

Will get on this soon folks now that I have the parts. I do want to hunt this fall with her for a few reasons, but mainly because I can still. :eusa-think:

Dan, I forgot. Using that ADF, it moves the arrow retainer forward. I forget which bow input an ACP trigger unit into but I ended up using a short arrow retainer.

Thanks guys. Hoping to get on this soon, will post final pictures then. Nice work Joe, looking good! I have some medium height rings from Leupold that should work. I’m trying to empty out a bin full of crossbow goodies. :problem:

Yes. I’m going to try to get that part done next week in case I need a shorter retainer.
