Excalibur Strings
 

I did the poll on what string do you use hoping to bring out information on the different strings that can be gotten for the Excalibur Crossbows , unfortunately it did no turn out as I would have liked for it to so will ask the question directly..

Could those of you that have knowledge of the different strings that can be gotten share what you know about the different types of strings ??
carateristics of the different materials. used . advantages and disadvantages of the different types , I know string choice is a personnel choice and that no one string is right for everyone, but I am sure that there are others like me that would like to know as much as they can find out about the different strings and their good and bad points. in the end one would need to expierment with the different strings, but it would be nice to have a good understanding of their carituristics. (spelled wrong)

I have all 3 and would use all 3, 1st flemish fast flite. I like its speed its gives, just make sure not to dryfire! 2nd the endless looped excel dacron reason it is easier on limbsand won't pull thru. 3rd and last but still decent is the flemish dacron witch will pull thru if you let it untwist any. Its only bad point. The other string i don't use at all is fer the older carved limbed Excals! Ta da wahoo!:D

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

I just got an order in from D. Miller, and I noticed that the Flem dacrons I got had alot more length in the woven end loops for the limb tips. Might just be me, but I'm willing to bet the loops coming undone is not gonna be a problem on these.

I may have shed some light on the subject for you in another post started by awshucks.

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

By the way I have read all these post Awshucks has been holding a million candle power spotlight and htoler won't take his shades off to see!! And as someone on here always says.... WHACK!

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Don't crank Htoler up again!!! That's my job, lol. It's confusing because there's alot of names for only a few strings. We got a new one now, "Excellerant", gotta go to the other post and thank the guy for the info, and see which one is the above.

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

I know, I know. Im just having some fun with ya all!! Not trying to crank him up, just trying to help unwind him for ya. Im glad I got wheels cause this string changing stuff can drive a good man crazy![&:]

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

guess I just be blind:)lol whats confusing me is what Dan said Excalibur is calling the strings by one name and other places that offer strings are calling them somthing different I aint totally dumb, I understand what each of the Excalibur strings do and the pluses and minuses. there are 2 strings offered from the place I order strings from that I am unsure what they are in corralation to the Excalibur strings.. theres has been a lot of info offered regarding the strings but the the question I asked in the firs place I have not gotten ansered yet,
sorry for not getting the string thing maybe I be too dumb to own a crossbow..

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

how about we just drop the whole string thing,

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

I spend $99 for a chrony and you want to drop it?? No Way bucko!! See Chrony thread lol

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

No way man!The shows half way over you cant stop now! Awshucks is getting ready to put the smackdown on all you single stringers!!:D

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Hey!! the hippy was here and fixed my pics!! think he smokes them left-handers, but can't prove it, lol This is the infamous FFF or Flemish Fast Flight, fastest Excal string ya can get:

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Hehehehehehe Hloter, gettin dizzy yet? Delmer welcome out of the lurker's closet and into the crazy pit! You're going to have fun!

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Next, for your viewing pleasure, we have the Flemish Dacron, Dnk's favorite, I believe:

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

I have been dizzy for awhile..:) so are all the FFF strings colored like that?? if so then that means they are a Flemish Twist Dacron,, accordint to what Miller sent me..

Thanks

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Dan, aren't they purdy? Yup thats the one I like the best!:)
Henry, put on what you think looks best or if you want to be technical get a chrony and shoot the fastest. If you want to be safe put on one of those all black endless loop dacron.
Dan, which one are you going to use? LOL.... The fastest, the safest or the nicest looking?

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Next is my string of choice, The Excel, or endless loop dacron. Notice how it has the end loops served vs. woven. I believe this is the string you get on new Excals, but could be wrong:

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

Dan, that looks like my dogs tail after a bird hunt! Awww you're not putting that on are you?:D

RE: Excalibur Strings
 

And last and for sure least is the "standard" for pre 2001 carved limb tips. it would appear to be endless loop something or other. Kinda reminds me of the joke where a guy was asked if he knew the difference between ignorance and apathy. He replied: "I don't know, and I don't care". Sums up my feelings about this little goodie as I have no need for it. Did ya'll notice while I'm slaving over a keyboard to enhance general knowlege, my pals are cutting me to pieces?? Here's the "standard" on antique carved tip:

RE: Excalibur Strings
