I took my string off because I was done for the season but decided to shoot another doe for a sharing the harvest program where the meat goes to the hungry. I put it back on and shot today. It was shooting quite different and the broadheads shoot different than my field points now. I got it sighted in with broadheads and I'm ready to hunt. Is my string maybe twisted a slight bit more on one side maybe? Or is this just normal tuning when you take your string off? Thanks, Brad

RE: excal guys
 

did you take the string all the way off ?
check your brace hight to make sure its where you always have it....

RE: excal guys
 

Yes I had it off a few days. Brace height seems to be in the same spot. I Guess I'll play with it after the season.

RE: excal guys
 

high,low...left or right......?

RE: excal guys
 

I got it now. Took the string off and took a twist out of the left side.

RE: excal guys
 

Excals have two adjustment lines on the rail. You must twist the string till it is in the same spot to have the same release each time. After time the string will stretch and relax. You should get used to putting iton one of the lines. Preferably the inside line. Try to keep it as close as you can andyour shots should remain consistant, everything else remaining the same.

I guess it has to stretch some more still. I have over a hundred shots out of it and its still 3/8" outside the line towards me.

Shooting a Flemish?

RE: excal guys
 

don't think so. Its the one that comes with the bow. My groups sure aren't as tight ever since I took the string off.

RE: excal guys
 

The string should stretch and always put string back on same ends of limbs they came off of. Mark it, i always put a piece of string on right right side end loop.

RE: excal guys
 

I will from now on. Thanks. Is it ok to have no twists in it till it stretches some?

Invest in a flemish string. Cost a little more but is softer and (Don't let anyone convince it isn't) QUIETER!
You can wax it easier and can keep it tuned by twisting it. Tuned meaning keeping on the LINE. More consistant shots. Don't try to string the bow by pulling it upward by hand. Let the string aid cocker keep the string even during the draw and left and right should be damb close. A Tip! If you want to string it by hand. While it is relaxed, put "White Out- Office Typewriter stuff" on the left and right of the string at the edges of the deck. When you draw it back put your fingers on the left and right side of the deck (Some people call it the rail) and pull it back. Your fingers will keep the string centered till it locks. If the string is centered (White Out) and the same draw tension (Line at relax) the shot should remain consistant time after time within an inch inside thirty five yards. Try it and PR me if it doesn't meet everything I said!

yeah I use the white out and the cocking rope just to be sure. I got an 8 point last week and want to get one more deer and a fox then I will look into getting a flemish string. Its weird that taking the string off and back on makes my broadheads shoot different than field points. Thanks

RE: excal guys
 

Think of it this way! If you sight in your rifle scope and get it zeroed. Thenlater you change it to another gun by only removing theupper brackets on the scope. Now you want to put it back on theoriginal gun. Shouldn't the mounts be already set? Not Likely!!!!!Very Small Changes will
alter the point of inpact downline. Very tiny changes are magnified.

RE: excal guys
 

Haven't been able to shoot for a few days. I picked up the bow today and the string has settled back to where it was before I took the string off and the field points shoot the same as broadheads again. I guess it just needed time to settle.

I bought a Excalibur Exocet200 last fall.I bought two strings as spare.After about 50 shots I had two broken strands,so I replace the string.I remark that to be on hight brace on all strings I could not give a twist or I was too far back toward the trigger.
As I said ,I change string ,adjust after 20 shot ,I went hunting.All of a sudden 6 strands broke on the new string.
I change it and went hunting.I shot a doe with no problem.
Ordered a custom Flemish string from Don Katsumi with wisker silencer.Very satisfied .Will keep an update aon adjusment and practice with that flemish string.
