Boo Custom Strings
Pictures of game taken by people using my strings
First deer with a crossbow!!!! Shot this very nice 9 pointer this afternoon, was about 3:30.Snuck in to the stand got settled into the stand. I still have this habit but I like to smoke. So I smoked a cig got done, the wind was right.Did a little bit of calling and light rattling got done, put the rattle bag up that my wife made me.Thats when I heard crunch, crunch coming in hard and fast.He circled around in front of me and came right into me to 15 yards. My Excalibur Vortex did the rest he went 50 yards to a thicket I watched him wobbling and then he disappered. So I sat there smoked a cig, and played yathzee for 30 mins. Got down and tracked him he dressed just a tad over 200 pounds, he will score high 130's.I weigh over 300, and stand 6-1 so that gives you an idea of the body size of this buck. Thank you for looking. God Bless, Mark

Dereck Woolvett Oct 2011 Went out right from work stomach grumbling and everything. Sat from 5:40 till 7:05 when I heard a squirrel that had been behind me all evening so I turned to see what he was doing now and a nice 4 point was standing 20 yds behind me.Made the twist he heard me and turned around then wham right in the shoulder blade. Lousy blood trail but I called a friend( case of beer owed)and he helped me do a sweep and we found him only went 60 to 70 yds. Arrow hit the shoulder blade and angled into the cavity staying in the deer. This was my first Bow harvest very happy with my Excalibur Phoenix and the factory sights.And of course My Boo Custom String. Wife is even happier that the season is done. :D

This is what love to see! This is Clark Steeves' first deer! It took 3 years! Awesome!
A Boo string is the only one that bends the limbs on my Excalibur! John Hilton
He is a 9 pointer (one 2" point is not in view) and field dressed 210 pounds. He was taken with Excal Vortex with one of your custom strings. BTW - the knife you see on the deer is one I made (hobby of mine). Best regards, Gary McCafferty (VTX4)

North East Florida six point Excalibur Equinox Boo String. The string in the picture killed 5 deer last season (2008-2009) after lots of pre season pratice. I still have this string and it is like new. If I am hunting with my crossbow it has a Boo string on it.
Scott Johonson's favorite picture!

Hi Don I hope this picture of my Dec 30/07 buck using your string is worthy to post on your new website. It shows the whiskers on the string nicely. I anxiously await to see it on your site. All the best. Hopefully I will be able to get one when I need it, thats if you aren't too busy, just remember the people who bought from you before you hit the big time. Just kidding Don. Thanks, Steve Thomas Greely Ontario
Harold Delano Jr Don, here are 2 bucks with your strings first was a my first crossbow(exocet 200) buck and that had your string on it. 25 yards with a 100grain slick strick. The deer traveled 45 yards after the shot. 20inch spread 8pt Second was my last years bow buck. Taken with the 08 Equinox and your whisker string the deer was 5 yards from my stand straight down. He dropped instantly when the rage 3 blade split his shoulders. He is my biggest crossbow buck to date. Love your strings! Highly dependable when it counts! take care Don;)
The bear was shot this past Sept. 1st. near Kinmount and I think the photo really shows off the Boo string, Craig
Hey Don I really appreciated you making my string with the whiskers on it. I can not believe how much quieter the bow is now. Along with your advice on how to take care of the string for longer life. Your service is second to no one. Thanks again Gerry Bourgoin
I want to thank you again for the strings! Very Happy When I shot at the doe, I remember hearing the bow go off and thinking how quiet it sounded in the woods. Total, between the addition of some LimbSaver rubbers on the back side of the limbs and the new string with cat whiskers I lost about 10 f.p.s. over just the bare Excalibur FF string and no LimbSaver pads, but I would rather loose a little speed than have the bow noisy Big58cal
This mature doe was taken 10/1/09 in Illinois with a Flemish String made by Don, aka BOO. I have used Don's string for 2 years now and have taken 5 deer with them. In my opinion they are the best bow string on the market. I bought two of these strings and am still on the first one. Just follow Don's instructions and you will get lots of shots out of his strings. Kelley

I figure he is going to get to the edge of the bush and stop and become caution but no. He charges right out into the open and is heading right towards me. At this point I'm looking at him through the scope so it's hard to tell exactly where he is. To make matters worse I'm having trouble finding the right eye relief so I'm not getting a good picture of him. He continues towards me and actually turns to be almost head-on. I tried to give him a little Baa to stop him but no. He turns back to his left and finally slows down. He's completely broadside at about 15 yards so I let him have it. The Boo string equipped Exomax lets the custom 2216 XX75 made by John tipped with a 100 grain Slick Trick fly. SMACK! For the first time I actually saw the hole in the side of him as he ran off. I guess that's what happens why you get them that close and in the complete open. As he runs off I can see he's starting to wobble as he goes out of site. He's heading down into a little depressed area with a small creek running through it. I'm 99% sure he's down there but I wait. I call Riley to tell him the news. We sit tight for 30 minutes and then Riley comes over to meet me. I can't find my arrow and I can't find any blood but I know he's hit. We walk to where I'm sure he's gone without really trying to find blood. Sure enough Riley finds him piled up in the creek about 50 yards away.
At about 5 pm I watched 4 deer cross from the grain wagons over into the corn field just as I have seen a few times before. About 5 minutes after they vanished into the corn I watched them come bolting back at a full run flags up back into the bush. I figured the way the wind was that they would more than likely swing to the West (my direction) and attempt to circle what ever it was that spooked them. About 15 minutes later I watched as 2 big does emerged infront of me about 50 yards away and heading right towards me. I noticed a smaller deer emerge a few seconds later. I noticed that this deer was moving on 3 legs and its forth was held high almost into its stomach. By now the does were within range .. I watched as the little one moved trying to keep up with the others and thought that the way this one was favouring its back leg I didnt think that it would make the upcoming winter. So a long story short (too late at this point) I let the mature does pass by and waited for the injured one to get witnin 20 yards and then let my Exomax along with Johns custom bolt equipped with a Wasp Cam Loc do what needed to be done .. The deer went approx 50 yards into the bush and I heard it crash .. I left it for 40 minutes and headed back to my truck changed and then made the recovery.
