string slipped off!!!!

I made a Flemish string 32 strands. On the fith or sixth shot the string slipped off one limb.
it was not a partial dryfire. Was the loop to thick?
Can someone help.

Re: how many strands

I made it with 32 strands just to stick with the stock string, just waiting for it to stretch.

Re: how many strands

How much speed loss if I go a 38 instead of 28 im sure I've read that its not much, possibly boo's website.
Before I got my crossbow not long ago I made a 28 strand, didnt quite know the measurements and made it a bit long although I did shoot it.

thumbhole stock cheekpiece on a standard stock

I orded a cheekpiece for my axiom from the shop. I received it, on the packet it said for thumbhole only, still I tried it but there is no way It would go on.

I know cheek pieces are hard to get on but is this the wrong type.

Could this work?

would it not be the back he would need to shim????
Yes, I would think my new scope will have more adjustment.
I just wanted to make sure I didnt have a dodgy scope.

Re: longevity of an excalibur

If I possibly wanted an upgrade would the highend exo series like an exomax last better than a matrix 380 or 405.

Re: longevity of an excalibur

The Matrix series does not have as much time in the field as the original bows. Nobody can comment on it standing the test of time, it hasn't been out that long. The limbs on all the original Mag Tip bows were the same, didnt matter if it were a Phoenix or an Exomag, same limbs. I can sit and dry f...

longevity of an excalibur

I got my first crossbow about a week ago and at around 700 shots its got me wondering are there many target shooters that shoot a lot. I chose Excalibur because of the quality. But am worried that it will show wear if I shoot this much. I know bows like the vixen and axiom will last better than an e...

Re: Leupold vx vs vxr

archerytho, I am assuming that you are Canadian, right? Customs is not the issue, you can import a scope easily into Canada without issue or paperwork, just pay GST and your good to go. I have done this many times. The problem is when a US Optic vendor recognizes your Canadian Credit Card and shipp...
