what custom string has less creep
as when I joined I stated I am new to the crossbow scene, as wel as being new to the Excalibur line. well my hunting season has ended, my grizzly suited me very well with harvesting 3 deer in the late season with it. so now I am for spring an summer months I would like to switch to try a Flemish string. now a few of the members here have spoken to me on it some, but let me be honest here I barely remember what I done yesterday. so any added info would be great. right now im shooting aprox arrow weight 375-380 that's the diablo arrow an 125 grain tip. im getting if I remember correctly aprox 290fps. I would like to stay in that speed area. losing a fps is ok but don't wanna lose a lot. do to how accurate an reliable my bow shoots at what it is at now.. so thanks in advance.

Re: OLD SCHOOL TRYING SOMETHING NEW
If speed is a priority, stick with the stock string. Your bow is not a beast and the benefits of a Flemish string will not be as apparent as it would be in the faster bows.

Re: OLD SCHOOL TRYING SOMETHING NEW
Appreciate that boo but losing some speed is ok. I just want something that's gonna settle an not have near the stretch my stock string has.

Change the tittle of this thread to "What string has the least amount of creep" or "what string will give me the least number of adjustments". You'll get a lot of opinions, based on expectations. But remember the saying about opinions....BryanGrizzlyohio wrote:Appreciate that boo but losing some speed is ok.

Re: what custom string has less creep
I'm not big on change. A firm believer in of its not broken dont fix it lol but I love my Excalibur but discouraged with the string stretch. Which isn't bad all strings stretch but I'm also a accuracy nut. An wanna eliminate all possibilities of poor accuracy over some stretch. Which honestly hasn't effected it any at all. Now if that made sense that's my issue. Basically I'm putting my more thought into this than I probably should lol

Re: what custom string has less creep
You can't go wrong with any of the string makers on this forum,,choose one of them to twist you up a 28 strand Flemish made out of Rhino or Force 10 and a 3inch center serving made out of Angel Majesty,,,that should get you what you are looking for

Re: what custom string has less creep
If you have the ADF installed on your crossbow and are looking for a string that will settle in quickly, be very accurate, and add a little speed... I would suggest a Force 10 string from Boo, or a Rhino string from 8ptbuk.
I prefer the 40 strand strings offered by Boo and 8ptbuk to tame shot shock during the summer months when I am just target shooting, but use the Force 10 and Rhino strings in the fall when I start hunting. I also enjoy the 28 strand strings that others offer here as well when target shooting.
Different materials have their own characteristics and you need to figure out what you like best. There are plenty of string makers on this site and they all make high quality flemish twist strings.
