New String Dampening System from TenPoint

Mogadore, OH. TenPoint Crossbow Technologies has expanded their accessory lineup for 2013 with the introduction of their new SDS™ (String Dampening System). A unique cable-slot mounted string stop, the SDS dramatically reduces string noise and oscillation.

The system's ultra-strong, custom extruded CNC-machined dampening-system-blocks mount securely through the cable slot, and its aircraft grade aluminum dampening rods are fitted with durable, high impact Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) rubber dampeners. With a unique convex face, these dampeners reduce the string's normal vibration frequencies on impact without reducing the speed or accuracy of the arrow. In addition, the dampener rods are micro-adjustable for precision alignment with the bowstring.

"Our customers have been asking for a string dampening system," said TenPoint CEO Rick Bednar. "As with all TenPoint products, our goal is to deliver a superior system to the marketplace that is precision engineered and user-friendly. With the micro-adjustable rods and the cable slot mounting capability, we believe we have achieved that."

The SDS is compatible with post-1999 TenPoint Crossbow Technologies thumbhole models, except the GT Curve. The package also includes adaptive hardware to fit former 6 Point Series crossbows, except the recurves, and all Wicked Ridge crossbows.
