What size rope on the cocking aid?

[Gatorfish]

Hey all,

I am in the process of making this Excalibur 330 mine and I want to change up the rope on the rope cocking aid - I would like to use a bight orange with some reflective in it. I have found some that is 9.5mm or 6MM - What size will match up to the original?

So far I am loving this xbow - I will be ready come deer season this year!

i use 4mm on mine, anything bigger will be too much.

Whatever size the replacement cord is for the pull start on a lawnmower.

After all three (original) ropes frayed away on my cockers I replaced them with lawnmower cord (white - easy to see on the ground) and I have not had to replace since.

The factory ropes wore out somewhere in the 1000-2000 pull range. The replacements have easily three times that on them with no signs of failure.

3/16" and if you keep shootin` at the the same spot you're going to be needing some new arrows real soon.
