New to forum/newbie question

[RemMaster]

Hello,
I am new to the forum, I just received the Axiom SMF package today and have a basic question. I went to a sporting goods store and asked for a replacement string as the store is a few hours drive away. The employee gave me a Flemish Dyna Flight String. I noticed now that it says for magtip limbs only, does the Axiom SMF have mag limbs or did he give me the incorrect string?
Thanks

First welcome to the forum!
All modern day Excaliburs have mag tips but it's not the string you should be using as a new person to crossbows and there will be a fair amount of change in scope settings.
The original string is better for someone new to crossbows because it is much less likely to cause damage if you dryfire your bow.

Wow I can answer a question everyone

That string is fine, you have mag tip limbs. Old bows are carved tip and can only use dacron string.

Darn I thought I had it but Boo is the string expert and the best string maker around. Of course I have yet to dryfire and prefer not to become a member of the club

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the replies. Thanks for the tips I will leave the standard string for the time being, I just thought I would buy a replacement string since the store I buy my hunting gear at is a ways away (it's a lot cheaper than the local stores). I also bought a pack of six excalibur arrows, are they basically the same as the firebolts the package comes with?

Welcome to the forum, hint: If you fill out your profile a bit more, like where you are at, it will be easier to help you find goodies. A guy always needs goodies.

Dunno, what's it say on the arrows? The two most popular types are Firebolts and GT Laser II's which have brass inserts to make weight.

No insult to the alum crowd meant.

They are made by Excalibur ,on the sticker is says Carbon 20, on the box it just says 7 Crossbow arrows, the right stuff.

I would bet you have a set of Firebolts there...Don't think you can find Excalibur branded GT Laser II's anymore...

Could be wrong though....Firebolts have a glossy finish...laser II's are more matte.
