Dang! I need me a set of those. They definitely look superior to my hearing aids.

Do they come in camo?

Thank you TAZ3,

I have an Axiom with the S5 dampeners. I put on a factory FFF string and had to raise the brace height to over 1 1/4" to obtain a string widths clearance from the pads. I machined .300" off the dampener bracket as you described (a snap with a lathe)...installed the string to 1 1/32" brace height with a little over 1/4" clearance. I just fired 4 395gr. arrows over the chronograph...302,303,303,304. I am one happy camper. I know I should have done a before and after but I did not.

Thanks again for the idea.

This is what the forum is all about, folks have offered me a ton of assistance, even with all my newbie questions!!

I'm glad I was able to offer some knowledge to help out.

Thanks Taz! Stumbled onto this thread and it turned into a real interesting piece. Great reading for sure.

Very nice, great idea. Thanks for sharing this Taz.

i do this with all my Excals. shoot through a chrono twisting the string trying both ways a few turns til i find the sweet spot. sometimes lower brace doesnt mean faster.ive had a few older Barnett recurves that liked high brace heights as far as speed goes.
