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!

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 went to Excal site and they show either the FFF or the Excal dacron, but On my order sheet it shows a Flemish twist dacron string. Is that the one i need?

RE: String Silencers
Mike, try a flemish dacron, you'll never go back, plus they look very cool. I heard that they are not going to carry them anymore so I think I will buy a few more (I have four new strings tucked away). Mean time I like the regular dacron second best. I think speed of the bolt is a realatively unimportant when you loose so little and you are being kind to your limbs. Just my thoughts.

SPH: My Danny Miller catalog list 4 strings. Endless dacron, Endless Excel, Flemish Twist Dacron, Flemish Twist Dyna Flight. 1st two are $9 2nd two are $10. I think the last one listed is FFF, but I KNOW the one we've been talkin about as better than FFF is the EXCEL. My FFF have grey and black strings, Excel has green and brown, and I got a third one that has green and black, but it even looks slow in the package, LOL. Actually, it looks like dyed bailing twine. Gonna use it for a choker collar for my dog. The difference in poi at 20 going from fff to excel is four cliks up on scope elevation. And that's on both of my bows. I think you'll like the excel once you try it.

RE: String Silencers
The Excel is the quietest of the 3 strings that fits on Phoenix. The exception is fast flite flemish when cat whiskers are installed. So if you put cat whiskers on the Excel it would be quietest again. The dacron flemish string pulled thru after 30 shots so i really couldn't tell how it would place. In all fairness it started off with a twanging sound that was slowly going away as it stretched![&o][&o][:-]
