First off let me say that I am flat out amazed how well my new exomax shoots. I was able to finish sighting in out to 50 yards today.
My dad who just turned 80 even shot a couple small groups at 40 yards today.
I shot numerous 3 shot groups today at 50 yards that were no more than 3 inches.
My question is when I first strung the bow the string was about a quarter inch above the upper line on the bow, Now the string is a little over half way to the second line.
If I twist the string to bring it back up to the middle of the lines will this increase my FPS enough that I will have to resight the scope?
Also how long do factory stock strings last? Just wondering if I should order a spare.
i like my brace height at 1 1/8" if twisting it to the disired height should only have a minimal change in POI if any. i don't think you would want to be above the line. the string just stretched a bit from shooting which is normal, just set the brace height to what ever you prefer and check it every so often. i usually check mine every 20 to 30 shots
Hey Fred, Sumner did some tests recently for Excal's string maker which showed that you should get a couple of hundred shots. Keep your brace height between the lines but in the upper half. You should have a spare around. Make yourself a "witness mark" on the side of the rail for quick reference and pay attention. Big changes in brace height will change the point of impact. Also remove the string once in a while and roll it over half a turn so that you wear both sides of the serving, giving you twice the serving life.
Good luck and have fun! Welcome to the forum!
Thanks guys. I'll flip the string over after a few more shots I have noticed where the serving is wrapped around the string on the side my rope cocker is sepatating the serving wraps a little, I have kept it well rubbed with string wax.
Here is a shot of a buck I took on a muzzleloader hunt 2 years ago, I can't wait to try out the exomax on some critters!! not the best hunting photo I have ever taken but my buddy with the camera showed up after the work was done and the hike out had started, up hill all the way to the truck!!
is that a Muley or a whitetail buck? It has the features of both so thats why I ask. Im assuming muley due to the split tines and short brows. If thats a whitetail, its huge
btw, if it helps you wont see really a difference of +- 5fps anywhere between those lines on the bow. I tried different locations and none really made a huge difference in impact area or fps. I keep mine about 1/4th inch above the last line next the the foot stirrup. As Boo said, its best to roll the string after every 50 shots or so. But any Flemish string will need to be broken in which normally takes a good 100 shots. Still they tend to stretch overtime. I always string my new strings up a month or so before I plan on using them just to stretch them

The rack is biforcated which indicates that is is a Mulie.
.....kind of sounds like a word in a spam movie
