Serving gaps

[dougk]

Hi
what is causing these gaps in the serving?



thanks

The serving starts to spread over time. The latches are pushing the serving to the side and exposing your string. The fuzziness on either side of your serving are the fibers of the string that are starting to break. I'd suggest too...that you run your brace height a little closer to the line towards the scope instead of where you have it set now. Looks like it's time to replace the string.

Don't shoot that string again til its reserved if'en no strands have been broke

[dougk]

I picked up other strings.

That string will go to the to be reserved pile.

That string only had 40 shots thru it.

Like, lvt01, said I would run a higher hrace height.

The cause is most likely a servin that wasn't real tight or maybe string is been twisted clockwise?

Make sure you have some twist in your string in the direction it was served to help keep the serving tight and regular waxing of string is recommended i like Dalton string wax.

Interesting. The Cabelas outfitter told me they got the crossbow directly from the factory....

ummm

Was it set up ready to shoot ? Did you put several twists in the string prior to shootin ?

It was set up. I let the Cabelas outfitter do the setup.

Glad I got more strings....

[vixenmaster]

Well don't lett'em set it up again

[dougk]

I hear you.

Plus I noticed the reinforced tip of the limb has a small chunk missing. It appears that can be replaced. Does Excalibur sell those tips?

Most of these guys at Cabelas, Gander Mountain, etc. handle crossbows so little that their knowledge about them is minimal at best. They profess to know everything about them, but they don't! You can get more answers on this forum than you'll ever get from the box store staff.

Hate to say its true but it is Most of the time the techs that are there are just breakin out the manual just like you would And yes there are some very very knowledgable people on here

Your string shouldn't be worn like that . . .I can understand the seraration in the serving, but, something's happening with the string . . .just 40 shots? Looks like the string is hitting something . . .you using a cocking aid, and hooking the serving, right?

By the way, those tips are part of the limbs . . .you would have to replace both limbs, they are a matched set . . .if I understood your question correctly.
