Title: Fredrick Lowbow String
Post by: Mountain State Archer on January 25, 2017, 10:26:00 PM
I have a Fredrick Longbow that Fritz built for my father probably around 2000 (beautiful craftsmanship by the way).  Anyways, I'm needing a new string for it and wondering if it was built to handle fast flight?  Any body have any ideas on what type of string these bows were built for?

Thanks
AJ

I've owned a few, but not in the past 10 years.  My recollection is that they had fairly large limb tip overlays.  That would enable them to handle low stretch strings, IMO. If I still owned one, that's what I would put on it.

I used FF strings on my Frederick longbows.I probably had about 8 of them.The 1st ones I had were when he 1st started building bows quite a long time ago.Its not a problem to use FF strings at all.
