Ear plugs! Plain and simple! Give up before you start! You will never quite a CB down like you can a vertical bow, just not going to happen. Its alot of power in a short stroke and not all that energy goes into the arrow. Sometimes I think the stock acts like a megaphone and helps to make some of the sound. Well all go through what you are about to go though and it will never be as quite as a vertical. Some guys with vertical quite them down so to maybe get a second shot, not going to happen with your CB!

I have an Exocet 200 myself and have found the best wat to quiet it down is as Hotburn 76 said earplugs if the noise bothers you,, crossbows are noisy by nature of design,, the only way it is going to be quiet is if you dont shoot it the more you shoot it the more you will get used to it. and the sound wont bother you .. so once it gets hto ya just shoot till you get used to it.

Like I said before, I think on a long bow the shooter is the sound absorber and takes most of the excess vibration. With the CB the stocks takes it all the releases it in the form of sound. Some guys that get into it deep have custom made stocks from wood put on and they say it helps but not sure never have seen one of herd of anyone other then a few people on here talk about it.
