Default RE: Crossbow links and Resources

Creating this thread mainly to use as a on line journal and to have info for others to see also. Mainly going to be a review of strings and arrows for my CB's. Others have posted results on arrows and strings, but as we all know it gets lost fast. As I shoot more stuff I will just edit this post. Anyone else have test or data that they remember, make a post and just add to it.

String test...

36 strand Excel Flemish BOO string with Cat Whiskers served on.
Brace height set at 1 1/4" or right on top mark.
431 Grain GT arrow with brass insert and aluminum nock, 411 grain after re-fletched with 2" nap quick spin vanes with 100 grain FT.
Excalibur Vortex 200#

Average CB exitspeed of 309 FPS
Average 40 yard speed of 268 FPS
POI was OK, but shooting with a sporadic cross wind.
Sound was noticeably quieter with the cat whiskers.
