[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 421154, member: 2736"] My two positive comments about the TAC 15 is the integrated shuttle cocking system with the looped release over a metal catch; and the fact the Xbow's string does not touch the rail, thus no rubbing, and less need of replacement. My one negative comment about the TAC 15[I][B]i[/B][/I] (integrated lower) is the hammer hits an internal stop pin that makes a lot of noise (85** db @ 1 meter), by itself. The pin goes from the left side to the right side of the upper assembly, and the hammer hits the pin just above a notch in the lower part of the hammer. [I]The whole thing looks like it is just begging for a rubber pad or spring to soften the hammer, thus quieting the metal to metal whack.[/I] I have the Tac 15 with a Rock River lower and a match grade trigger that is sweet to shoot. It is interesting that you mentioned the noise of the hammer fall because you can hear mine but I don't think it is that loud . BUT. It was loud enough that I tried an experiment to quieten it down and it worked for a limited number of shots (10 to 15 on average). I simply placed a strip of moleskin with a self adhesive on the back on the front of the hammer and it did not change anything except the sound (Everything else works the same). I practice with out the moleskin and when I get ready to go hunting I pull the back pin and break the lower and upper open (Like an over and under) exposing the hammer and stick the moleskin strip on the face of the hammer that strikes the release on the TAC 15. It weighs almost nothing and as I said does not interfere with the operation of the cross bow. I have not tried anything else because this works very well. I have not killed anything with it but that is fixing to change this weekend. (Going after hogs) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
