thanx farmer

hi farmer one question according to your mentioned bemans: i´m from europe no archery stores around and i´m thinking of importing 20 inch beman raw shafts (or beman arrows) from canada or the us. i want to make my own carbon arrows. could you recomend me a shop that ships to europe and charges reaso...

thank you for your replies and info!!! the vix is a 2005 model and the exocet 200 a 2006 modell (slightly different camo) at least the wider riser will fit on the narrower rail so i will have three draw weights to choose i will try and tell you if i really can get it. can you tell me something about...

i can´t go with the opinion that how much a string material stretches has no impact in serving wear because what i´v experienced is that the dacron material leads to more serving separation during the setteling process which is the most important factor for serving wear and string damage. But i have...

ive got the opportunity to buy a 2005 vixen deluxe with the old style ( not forward but 180 degrees?) riser now i´m wondering if i could interchange the new riser on my current 2006 exocet 200 rail with the old vix deluxe riser and put my forward mounted riser of the exocet 200 on the old vix rail a...

like to know if it is adjustable to different brace heigths!

here is what i do to extend the life of my servings on my exocet 200 with very good sucess: i twist the string after every 40 shots one or two times so that the serving is grabbed by the crossbows claw on an other side of the serving. (that´s the time for me to wax too) try it out, you can at least ...

hey matthias,

i´ve seen that guenther wetzler at wolfszeit.de
sells your v-bar system

you have a deal with him?


lisa

thank you for your offering. to help me make a jig

but if possible to make a good string without one i would like to
do it without.
one end loop looks good,
the other not so.

if i could manage to make the second lood as the first
i would be satisfied with the string.

got my string material (brownell b 50) finally and tried to make a flemish string today without any strin jig. just by hooking the first end loop in a nail. i made the string like described on matthias homepage. the first end loop was not that hard to make but the second i could not do properly- loo...

thank you rebel hog and tar heel, it´s a very good and helpful explanation how to make the center serving, but what i´m still asking myself is if and how i could do the servin for the end loop by myself, or if i better should make a flemish string with dacron ( think no protecting serving for the ti...

who is boo?

thanks very much wabi for your superfast reply,
but could you take a look at your serving mat spool if its
the 1/4 lbs type of Brownell B 50?
what is the specification of your nylon material for the end loops?
would be kind,

thanks
