Excalibur Crossbow has expanded its Micro Series with the Suppressor CRT. A hunt-ready recurve crossbow, the Suppressor CRT promises ultra-quiet technology, compact maneuverability for utility in treestands and blinds, and durable simplicity without compromising performance.

The Suppressor CRT features the Sound Deadening System+, which includes LimbSaver SlipLox to reduce noise and vibration. A full-length scope mount increases rigidity and stability, while High-Output (HO) limbs offer improved efficiency and reduced stress.

"The Micro Series has earned a reputation for giving hunters the compact performance and confidence they need in the field, and the Suppressor CRT takes that legacy even further," said Beth Shimanski, vice president of marketing at Excalibur Crossbow. "By pairing our proven Micro platform with the new Sound Deadening System+, we've created one of the quietest recurve crossbows we've ever offered. The result is a maneuverable, dependable crossbow that helps hunters stay undetected and make the most of every opportunity."

The Suppressor CRT's trigger breaks clean and consistent, while the simple recurve design allows for field servicing and string changes without a bow press. That's a huge benefit for DIYers, and those who hunt far from the nearest shop. Finally, CeaseFire technology ensures the crossbow will not fire unless an arrow is loaded, the safety is off and the trigger is pulled.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness. You’ll likely hike for hours, oftentimes at high elevation, and many of trails you’ll follow are filled with deadfall and uneven rocks. If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
