These days it seems like the best way to find out is to take it into the backyard and dry fire it.. If it hardly fits it is Excel, If it does fit and just makes a "fwaap" sound it is Dacron, if Mag-tips launch in two different directions it is FFF.

Looks like Dacron to me. Is the string brown or black? If it's brown, it's dacron.

I vote dacron. Is this a test?
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

The both look thick and the one on the right looks like a Dacron string that came with my old carved limbed Exocet.
