You are welcome, thank you for watching and commenting, I am happy it worked out for you. It is a good skill to have and you will have, and save your strings a lot more. Happy hunting Best regards Rene
Thank you so much for making this instructional video Rene! My Barnett Recruit serving started fraying, and I thought in buying new strings. With this video I am confident I can put new serving and give new life to my crossbow. May God bless you richly for your generous contribution.
Thank you for commenting, it should be a relative easy way of restoring your string to a great standard. it has worked for me over the years, and if you do two servings half the size you end up with the same diameter and a strong string 👍👍 it good to go through your crossbow once in a while like this, since you discover minor wear and tear as well other places on the bow... to finish the serving you can always practise on a broom shaft with a big line or rope, to get the feeling with it. I hope that helps a little.. god bless, stay safe and let me know how you did 👍👍 best regards Rene
Thanks for commenting, no unfortunately, but the two rubber cushions underneath reveals it. I made it tight but still shock absorbing- without a torque wrench Safe hunting Best regards René
I had to, since I elected a smaller diameter thread in order to get the same distance from the rail to the center of thread. It seems to hold up a lot longer. You don’t need to do double as I did - single will do just fine, however the double seems to hold wear and tear a lot better. Hunt safely, best regards Rene
I am using a half size the one that was on originally, approximately. #62XS Braided Serving .021 from BCY it works very well and seems to hold up very well too. I have shot a lot with it since and it doesn't show much wear or tear. hope that helps Best regards Rene
@@techtips101 thank you Rene, i bought the same thread and the tool last week. I got a 200 lb deer last year with my Mag340 and if i get one this year, i will post the video for you. Thank you
Thank for commenting - I am sorry to hear that, I have had no trouble for the year I have had mine - it works very well, and I like to be able to change the string in nature without the need to see a press. I am sure Excalibur would be happy to help you out with this :) contact them in Canada, would be my advice ... I hope you will get this fixed and be happy with it :) best regards Rene
@@didiernotable4647 Ok - well that's what happens sometimes - I would guess that excalibur just would exchange it for you. However there are so many good crossbows out there and I hope that you will get one again and obtain the sport... The night hunting I do with mine is absolutely great. It does require more maintenance than my bow though. I hope you will get the issue resolved soon .... Best regards Rene

@@techtips101 That’s nice to hear ,but at the end of November I sent it back to the store in the Netherlands where I bought them online . Normallly I expect them back at the end of January. Fortunately I can now continue shooting with my previous crossbow that has been around for 30 years, it is only half as powerful but never had any problems with it. Thank you for the information Rene 👍
Thank you very much for making this video. I was able to put a new serving on my Excalibur AXE 340!

You are more than welcome 🙏 and thanks for watching
Hunt safely

Do you have any ideas of how many inch per pound to tighten the ring mounts to the rail?
Thanks for commenting, no unfortunately, but the two rubber cushions underneath reveals it. I made it tight but still shock absorbing- without a torque wrench

Why did you do 2 full wraps as opposed to just the single ?
I had to, since I elected a smaller diameter thread in order to get the same distance from the rail to the center of thread. It seems to hold up a lot longer. You don’t need to do double as I did - single will do just fine, however the double seems to hold wear and tear a lot better.
Hunt safely, best regards Rene
what serving do you use?
I am using a half size the one that was on originally, approximately.
#62XS Braided Serving .021 from BCY
it works very well and seems to hold up very well too. I have shot a lot with it since and it doesn't show much wear or tear.
hope that helps

Awsome video, thank you i suscribed to your channel. Also wondering are you double serving because you are using thinner thread?
Thank for watching and commenting, yes I use double serving it seems to hold up better and it did not change my grouping much.
