Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
That is a shame! Excalibur should warranty that string. It looks like you have serving seperation were the rope cocking aid hooks on. Call them they should take care of you.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
I wouldn't look to the matrix to place fault. Looks to me that where the latches catch the string she looks pretty good.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
Xcaliber said it could be me over-cocking the bow.I'll slow it down when cocking and see if that makes a difference.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
I was doing the same thing, due to my cranker making to much noise I could not hear it click when it engaged so I would cock it too far and it would mess up my string also.Riflemanz wrote:Xcaliber said it could be me over-cocking the bow.I'll slow it down when cocking and see if that makes a difference.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
I have been really happy with the string wear on my 380. On the factory string I had several hundred shots and it still looked good when I replaced with a custom Flemish. I really expected the wear to be worse.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
I would guess the rope cocking aid. Look at the inside of the hooks to see if they are rough. Chain saw file or emery cloth , FINE grit would smooth the hooks.

Re: The Matrix is a string eater!
With my little amount of experience I probably should not even comment lol but unless I am looking at it wrong, your string is twisted clockwise ??? If it is, won't that loosen the serving since servings are usually applied CCW ??? Am pretty sure Don explained that to me once, though I been wrong before lol

Also not cocking it evenly, look at the space from the rail on each side.
