Page 2 - Wicked Ridge String Dampening System Reviews

Easy to install, works great. Haven’t had opportunity to use it in the field, only targets thus far.

Okay, So it is a good product but I had a hell of a time putting them on. First the torx wrench was not long enough to provide ample torque to get the provided screw all the way in to secure the two halves. Then the screws started to strip out and left me no choice but to pull them as I could not get them in any further. So I replaced provided screws with other similar screws but with phillip head so I could get more bite with the proper tool. The fit was so tight that I broke two of them off. After drilling them out I used som 3 in 1 oil to lubricate all the parts. What a difference, but I should not have had to do All of this.Or at least provide in the directions that it is an extremely tight fit and some provided lube would be helpful.Ease of installation gets a one Star.

Very good product for the price. Dampened shot noise noticeably, but can’t make it completely silent. Makes a big difference.

Simple install and works as expected, too easy! Took less than 10 minutes and it makes a noticeable difference

Very easy to install!
Quality Product.
Made a definite impact on the sound.

Excellent product. Easy to install. I really like the change in string noise.

Not a silencer but does help reduce some noise , I recommend any product that helps me harvest a great whitetail if the cost is reasonable and this is very value .

Excellent! Quiets the bow down considerably. A must have on all wicked ridge bows

Easy to install and quiets the short. This was a great help as I am new to owning a crossbow.

I installed the Wicked Ridge String Dampening System and I am absolutely pleased with the difference in the amount of noise that has been eliminated by adding the SDS!

Exactly what my Invader 400 needed. Installs with ease and quiets the bow down nicely.

Great addition to my invader x4. Definitely makes a difference

Put these on my Wicked Ridge Invader X4 not because it was to loud when it shot but to dampen the string after shooting. I have seen slow motion video of what happens when the bolt leaves the string and it and the cables do some wild things before settling back to rest, it happens fast but if you can help control it some what why not. They did seem to help some with the sound while shooting and fit like they are supposed to, follow the directions and everything will fit and work like it should I like the looks of the Xbow with them on it too. They are only for certain Xbows so make sure you make sure yours is one of them in the description.

Easy install. Instructions were pretty straigjt forward. Bow is much quieter.

The dampeners were easy to install. However use a good torx wrench. I believe the system has reduced noise however I will reserve judgement until a fire a shot from my tree stand this fall. Ten Point/ Wicked Ridge puts out quality products so I’m confident the SDS will serve well.

All the parts for tenpoint crossbows , fit perfectly. This is one reason i buy USA products. Being a machinist I like parts to fit and be made by USA craftsman.

Armed with the pros and cons from the reviews of previous buyers I purchased a good torx wrench for easier install. One of the dampening rods does seem to be a bit longer, but doesn't seem to affect performance since it doesn't restrict the string. Still very happy with purchase.

Easy installation and really seems to decrease the perceived noise of the x bow.

Fits perfect. Looks good. Most of it works. Remember tighten all the screws down at the end when there all in not before, this will insure your not going to cross thread them.

Great product but the assembly required the adapter base holes to be bored out. They were way too small. I used my own Torx to assemble it which made it much easier than the one provided.
