Excalibur Crossbow Forum

gad, how is the serving wear and what do you use for serving material? I am also using the browning crossbow serving. No serving wear at all, I am impressed. I have mounted my own string stretcher and I am serving the strings and cables for my compound and also crossbows at 200 lbs. The serving kee...

Going to watch now!

Thanks loads Comfybear, this is just the kind of info I was looking for. I've checked out several other sites but his is clearly the best info. so far. gad: What's the draw weight of your bow? Thanks again all that responded, I trully appreciate being able to pick the bains of the very best. And pa...

Boo (Dan), thanks for the great comments and compliments, I haven't seen your strings "in the flesh", but from the pics I can tell that they are just as good if not better than the ones I've made. Cossack, Boo has given you good advice, and from what you say, it seems that you're quite ha...

I am lucky that I am using the brownell ts plus to make my excalibur strings. It does not contain vectran.

I believe the idea is to keep the equipment as simple as possible. Dry firing isn't an equipment problem, it's a people problem. I would hate to miss a nice buck because my anti-dryfire mechanism failed and prevented me from launching an arrow. I believe the theory is the same for the manual safety...

Dryfires damage almost always are way visible, specialy on the limbs and to loose bolts. (experienced with this - 4 times with one exocet 200 (first one the limbs was broken) and 2 times with one exocet 175 - nothing happened) Check the bolts for being tighten and the limbs throughly (specially the ...

Sorry. Prayers going for you and yours Wabi.

Thanks. I will do some with 24 strands, but using the 3 bundles technique.
Will post results on the forum when ready to go.

If you are using a flemish design the string will be fine, but please consider upping the number of strands to give a bigger diameter. Let us know how you make out, this is one I haven't tried. I just built the string like that original flemish fast flight that excalibur sells. I have consulted the...

All these new string materials sure look good, but our experience has been that once you combine the stretch free type of materials from the Spectra - fastflight familys with endless loop configuration strings, limb life suffers. The harsh shock of recoil combined with the lack of mechanical cushio...
