Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how many strands of fast flight is reconmended in a string for an Exocet 200. Also would adding a couple of extra strands help reduce noise. I know it will cost some speed. But I have plenty of that
Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

For your Exocet, I would use no less than 28 strands of a good fast flight material like TS plus, a type of dynema(sp?)
If you want to use a dacron flemish string, I would use 30 strands to be safe.
When Excal changed their Excel string fron excel to dacron, I decided to start making my own dacron flemish strings. I have a vixen, 150 pound, I have limbsavers on the limbs, I use 420, 440, and 460 grain arrows. On this bow I use a 26 strand string, but I wouldn't use anything that light on any other crossbow or if I were going to shoot 350 grain arrows.
You need to talk to Comfy Bear. He has forgotten more about this than I will ever know.
