any color is fine, as long as there as nice as the strings I recieved from you.

I keep reading this thread thinking I should order some..

I would be interested in the bright colors too, orange, or yellow.. What is a spool of that stuff worth? I just may buy a spool to get the colors I don't need..

Are multiple colors possible? I mean if there a "X" amount of strands can only a small percentage be the bright color?

Archer's Nooks sells the 3 Colour Combo spools for $45.75 each. The colours available are Brown/Tan/Green or Orange/Brown/Hunter Green. These spools are great way of making endless loop strings. When making Flemish Twist strings, I'm not so sure that the end product would look as nice.

Also, using just a few strands of one colour, will work when making an endless loop string. However, since the method of crafting a Flemish Twist string involves a lot of twisting and braiding of the loops and string, by not using equal number of strands per colour, the colour of the end product would likely end up looking asymmetrical, and not esthetically pleasing.

Appropriate colors, black and orange in October (Halloween), green and red in December (Xmas), pure white for the remaining of the winter (Snow), black/ blue for the rest of the year. That'd be the color of my body if I buy anymore accessories for my Xbows.

Seriously, do you make custom strings for Excalibur Bows? If so, P.M. me a price, I'd like one for my Vixen and Exomag.

Make sure you check your sights with the new string.

That's a good idea, however at 15yds., I haven't noticed any difference in POI between the factory and my strings

I am stalking tomorrow. If I get a shot it will be short. I have been putting out apples near the bedding areas. They eat all of them every night, but no day time activity. We got a little snow, I am hoping to track one back to his little cozy bed and put him to sleep for good.
