Title: Leon Stewart R/D Longbow
Post by: bowtough on March 09, 2015, 07:18:00 PM
Just received new to me R/D longbow by Leon Stewart. As it is f/f compatible, was wondering about using an 8 strand SBD string. Was wondering if anyone with a Stewart longbow has used an SBD and your opinion of the results. Thanks, Gary.

I haven't used SBD strings on my Stewart bows. I just order strings directly from Leon.

Leon's warranty does not apply for all string materials, just because it is f/f compatible. At least that was the case when I bought mine. Fastflight actually stretches more than some others. You might want to ask him.

I asked Leon if he had a string for a Jack Harrison I had just purchased used off a friend, he shows me a 450 plus with the old fishing line serving ( can't remember what it's called ) I bought it, even though I was a little apprehensive about doing so, because once it breaks, it's gone, your not fixing it. I was using that bow for  an upcoming elk hunt and the last thing one wants is problems with gear ! Once again Leon shows that he knows his archery, the overall performance of that bow was just fantastic, so much so that I must call him and order a string for a new to me Morrison Shawnee.

Moral of this answer, call him, he'll help you out !

Haven't had the pleasure of shooting a Slammer yet, but an SBD was the quietest string I shot on my old Selway/Centaur.

Thanks for the info, prolly a good idea to call Mr. Stewart. Not that I am not pleased with the overall performance of the bow, it is a shooter in all respects. I have had experience with the SBD 8 strand string and thought what if. But do not want to create a problem, I am in love with this bow! Thanks again, Gary.   :thumbsup:
