Title: Light Bow string
Post by: Cowdoc on June 11, 2010, 04:23:00 PM

While working on a small farm today, the farmer showed me an old fiberglass Shakespeare bow 20# @ 28" he had picked up at a yard sale for his 10 year old son.  Knowing I was interested in traditional archery he asked if I could help him get a string for the bow.  The string length is labeled 62 1/4".  Any ideas where I can get a string for him?  Thanks.

62 1/4" string might be just about right if its a 66" bow.

If this is the bow I found in Google images then it's the all green limbed bow with the black handle correct?

Does this bow need a endless loop string or can a flemish work?
