Exocet 165 shims

[ageless mind]

Hello everyone,
This weekend i will become the owner of an Exocet 165. having used heavier arrows with compound i want to the same with crossbow but not loose to much fps. ive been reading and now know i can upgrade the limbs and add shims.
Is it safe to assume that shims can not be bought? Does anyone here make and sell them?
if i had the extra money i would buy a bow that already has what I'm after. I think i got a good deal at $200 for the bow.

Thanks for any help

Later tonight I will PM you details and dimensions of the shims I made and other go fast goodies that made my 165 fly, but, I think you need 5 post first before PM's can be sent or recieved.

I also have an exocet 165 and would be interested too in any modifications.
thanks..

$200 sounds like a nice deal. Did you get a scope and quiver with that? I had a 165 once, kinda wish I still had it. I've seen a few hear and there just not sure what a fair price is on the old carve tip bows.

Open sights, not sure if it has a quiver. The seller is the surviving sibling with little knowledge. I was told the bow went to a shop for cleaning and new string.

Was the exocet faster than a vixen ?

The 165 exocet has a velocity of 270 fps,draw weight of 165 lbs, power stroke of 15 inches with an 400 grain arrow.
The vixen has a velocity of 250 fps,draw weight of 150 lbs,power stoke of 14 inches with a 375 grain arrow.

Tim it won't be long and everyone will want an older style excal in there collection. I could really see some of the originals becoming collector items for Excalibur fans!

I just want to share my feelings thus far about this forum. I have been on and tried asking questions, start conversation on two well known outdoor and gun forums here in Michigan. Neither have been as respondent as this one.

Three years ago I payed $450 shipped for my exocet 165 with scope and quiver mount but no quiver . At the time I thought it was a decent deal and it is a fantastic bow . $200 for one is a good deal . I have some mag tip limbs and other parts i will pm you about .
