after a few month testing period i'm going to start offering brownell x-cel string material also. its got the same percentages of vectran and dyneema as bcy's 452x. each strand is a hair larger than 452x, and seems to be a bit smoother, more like the feel of 8125. the advised strand count is 20, but the shoot string can be cut to 18. i don't have chrono results as i check speed about once a year for curiousity's sake only. the 3 bows i've strung up with it and watched for a few months, it acts like 452x. there are differences in how its died and manufactured a bit though. anyway, i think its on par w/ 8125 and 452x as the top materials and i ought to offer it for that very reason. preference is usually a personal thing and depends on a lot of factors. in my opinion its worth checking out for yourself.

Cool might even have to try some of that.

Do you think it will fuzz or fray less than the 452x?

it appears that way to me dave.

I guess I'll be trying some out on my Tribute soon, what colors you got?

(not that it matters much, I'm a simple green/brown or green/black guy myself)

so far black, bronze, gray, and bright orange and dark green are on the way. i'll get whatever though. i'm ordering spools of colors as orders are placed.
