Welcome to the forum!

I don't know if you can do that or not, but I doubt it. Get yourself an STS. It does the same thing.

A set of rubber car whiskers on your Trykon will make it whisper quiet. Leave your factory alpha shocks on and add the Cat whiskers. It made mine and my wifes' Trykon as well as many other guys' bows super quiet. Total cost is $2.00 and 5 minutes to install.

The STS and StealthShot are similar, but not equal. The StealthShot actually grabs the string for just a split second instead of just cushioning it like the STS does.

As far as adding it on.....I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I believe the new Trykons have threaded hole machined into the riser for that purpose....I could be wrong though...

Not on mine it didn't. Not even close. My Trykon had apretty irritating string buzz with just the cats whiskers. Once the STS was added, it really deadened the whole shot and made the bow veryquiet.

Do what you want, but I'd get the STS. It's a huge inmprovement. It's no accident thatHoyt added their version of the STSon the new Vectrix.

another thing about the real STS it goes up closer to nock more center to the string were it lets the arrow release the same place everytime. the hoyt thing is down @ the bottom were it's really useless IMO for that reason might take that buzz out but your still getting alot of string movement after the shot. Thats just my take on it.
