Anyone shot the new Micro Suppressor yet?

I've not really been excited about shooting xbows since loosing my eye, but I realize I'm not going to be able to shoot compounds well enough to hunt ever again.

I've tried a couple on xbows but there to big, bulky, heavy, etc. I feel the simple version I can be more happy with and enjoy, wanting one I can shoot out of ladder stands, ground blinds and shooting houses

Thanks

Excalibur the only thing I'm interested in

I shoot an Excalibur Micro 335 and love it.

I shoot a Excal Matrix 355 with a hawke scope. Plenty fast, accurate and simple. Love it, also my first and only crossbow.

ETA: no I have not shot the excel suppressor. BP may have one you can try out there. Here is a link to the Excalibur xbow forum lots of info and discussion on pretty much all the excal models available.

Havent shot it but Ive picked one up and it is nice. I have a Micro 335 now. the Suppressor is a little better balanced with the bull pup style stock.

I'm big fan fan of simplicity so that bleeds over into Excalibur. But a little info to chew on, since they were bought out have noticed some things. Going to give you some things to look for on the newer ones and yes I have personally seen this. Limbs is the main focus:
1 - finish Simply rub your hand across them, one limb will be silky smooth and the other rough as sandpaper
2 - guages/cracks/indents. There will be multiple spots on both limbs that have these and more than one will be deep enough to fold a fingernail back
3 - deflection or front end manufacturing flaw. Take a tape and pick an identical spot on each limb to measure to the string, like right along the outside of string stops. These measurements can exceed 1/8". Seems small huh well if one limb is weaker than the other or the front end is crooked we'll you know what's that going to do to accuracy not to mention safety

I know what y'all are saying just another hater but I ain't and have seen this on both the Matirx and Micros and simply giving y'all something to look for before dropping $$$$
