Yes definitely. Quieter than my Axis or Aerotec too. The Riser shox is responsible for a bit of that and "flex tuning" of the riser - whatever that means

I can shoot my Helix with full ACE stabs, no doinkers, 45lb FD with X10s and it isn't loud by any means. (G3, Extreme or Winex limbs)

Although I do use a longrod damper and a top damper too at the moment but that is becuase I'm shooting the bow at tiller setting that is not the quietest.

Im running 10" ace sides with 1 weight on each and beiter 30" with 2 weights and HMC extender 5" with 44lb Winnex and its quieter than me Exfeel with 40lb Synerzy, 6" ace extender with 30" ace longrod with 2 weights on floppy doinker and 10" sides with doinkers and 2 weights and a top doinker with 2 weights. The riser defonatly absorbes alot more shock and noise.

Indeed! I always found the Exfeel a bit brick like but some people loved it. But if you want rid of that 6" Easton Extender I could us a spare

Yep,quietest and most vibration free riser I have ever shot. The guy next to me at the Pentangle shoot this year couldn't get over how quiet it was.

Mine isn't *that* quiet.

But if I put full Beiter stabilisers on it then the noise is embarrassing - way to soft and sweet
