Hey if my mrs. see's them, its when do i get some clothes! I tried out my cat whiskers, i shot 3 times. It was fairly quiet, i will see how long they last. They didn't slow it down any at 20 yds. poi was same as always. I use xsticks fer my rest as i shoot.

Mike did you serve them on? I hope you didn't use them full length.

I don't use anything , the deer don't have time to hear the string at the ranges I shoot from anyway .

I did serve them on and i did let them be their entire length. No problems as of yet! I shot somemore this afternoon,Mrs. said the string still made an audible sound. Nothing like it had been before whiskers were tied on. They are still holding together.

Its been a week and i have shot most every day, they're still working. None have broken or flew off yet. If they lastat least 30 days per set then its great fer me. Y'all don't live wid the ducking deer. Bet awshucks knows what i am talking about. Ain't no arrow fast enough on a ducker, they hear and duck![]Its a southern deer thang, they attend class during the summer and use it in fall and winter!

Smokepolehall have you tried the flemish dacron strings yet ? You only loose about 3 to 5 fps and is much more quiet than other strings plus I also like how the string is much more forgiving on the limbs...not that its needed but it seems to work pretty good.

I have the Flemish Fast Flite that is Excalibur's best on the Phoenix. In answer to awshucks reply we have some real bad wood duckers and even some wood chuckers. So there fore we should all use alum. or carbon arrows. Then those pests and vermin couldn't duck as in the wood!

Smokepole: I, too, am getting fonder and fonder of the "excal" string over the fff. You might wanna check it out, it's 4 cliks up on the Vzone if you change.
