I have some on the way, from what I understand they will slow the arrow a bit due to the extra material, the physical shape, not the weight. The claim is that is will spin an arrow up to 300% faster, and thus be more accurite. The colours are far more brilliant than a Duravane too, if your into that...

No offence to law enforcement officers, but they are probally the worst ones to ask a question like that. You would be best going right into the police station and asking, a decent cop will bring out the book and go through it with you. The first thing that comes to mind about the "trigger mech...

A hair dryer is a great idea, I bet that gets the wax good and deep.

I applied the wax last night, thinking my morning walk may be a bit damp, later today I will try the hairdryer.

Crossbow are inherently hard on servings. I find that the original retail serving doesn't hold up too well. However, I find that once I re-serve my strings, the serving lasts longer, and even longer on my own custom made strings. I like the color of your string, more importantly, the serving looks ...

Now this is getting interesting..Here is why: I said that when I went to Waterloo to buy my 3rd string and since then it hasn't happened again, well I also stopped by Excalibur and had a whole new trigger assembly installed(for a non related issue), when I got home is when I put on the new string, s...

Thanks for the input guys! I suspected moisture to be a good reason for wax, but as far as "gluing" I find fault in that (the idea, not the post), theoretically it makes good sense to use a bonding agent between the windings on the serving, but I am not sure the wax is the best choice for ...

Waxing the serving, why?

I have had my Exocet about 3 weeks now, I wake up and keep shooting until it's dark. My bow is new, my experience is new but I have a tremendous amount of shots to base my experiences. I followed the directions in great detail on how to wax my string. After 150-200 shots I noticed the serving was ga...

Mine did that the day after I dry fired, a limb and dissipator bar were replaced. The day after on all new stuff (besides the string) I had the same thing happen.

I am sure I didn't adjust my speed, it's one of those things I watch closely, perhaps too closely. My dial sits just under the 3 on the 300 mark..
I will go out now and make the necessary changes to the speed dial, it's the unknown part that is frustrating me..
Thanks!

My old string was discarded, it lost a strand or two. I am using the string that came on the Xbow, and that is also what I changed from. I was under the impression those things were not supposed to stretch. Oddly, my 20 is still dead center, it just creeps away from center the farther back I get. If...

Temperature affects on POI?

I shoot every morning and every night, consistent and accurate.. Last night I had my bow tuned right in, I was grouping 50 yards at about 3 inches. Today I brought the bow out and my 50 is about two inches low. It's about 4 out right now. I am scratching my head on this one.. I put a new string on (...
