I may have a chance at a sweet, used Robertson Mystical, so im fishing for opinions from owners and shooters, since i cant try before I buy.
Thanks Paul
Great bows not sure if they are FF compatible. All Robertson bows are great bows.
I recently got a Yarak, which was made by a bowyer who did bows for Robertson, and I think it is very close to the Mystical. If it is, you will like the Mystical; the Yarak is a quiet, hard hitting bow with no noticeable hand shock. And mine, at least, is fast flight compatible.
I had a 66" 55#er that I wish I could have back. It was the first longbow I had after shooting recurves for a few years. I killed 5 deer in 5 years with it, my best meat streak ever. I'll eventually have another.
I picked it up from the used bow guy (Lonnie, I think) at a K-zoo expo many moons ago.
Had a couple and liked them. Getting rid of one of them is one of my major bow mistakes.
My first longbow, got it 7 years ago and still got it. Great bows with a lot of horsepower! they have a little bump in the hand at the shot if you use heavy string on it but a thin FF you feel nothing.
Dick said all his longbows are FF ready.
If you can get it...get it..you wont be sorry.

Great bows, my #1. Dick has made thousands and you rarely see them for sale. There is a reason for that.
I still own two Mysticals and love them. Stable, good speed, minimal hand shock, excellent craftsmanship, made by one of the quiet giants of our sport in my opinion. Also own two Purists and love them as well. Dick's a good man and his family and their dedication to this thing we love makes me feel that the future is bright for traditional archery.
Very nice bows own a Mystical and several newer models. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
The wife of a friend who recently passed has a Mystical she probably would sell. It is 66" and 65#@28" if I remember right. PM me if you want contact info.
I have 2 Roberston longbows, a Mystical and a Purist. The Mystical was my first stickbow. That was 12 years ago. It has killed deer in several states and all manner of other critters too. I love it. You cant go wrong with one. Mine is 67#@28".
There is a reason, like mentioned earlier, you don't see them for sale very often.
God Bless,
Nathan
