Title: Introduction and a question
Post by: Mark Little on December 02, 2015, 04:56:00 PM
Hello all.  My name is Mark Little and I am coming back to traditional equipment after a long time away.  I started shooting 30 some years ago on a Shakespeare bow of my dads.  Shot a compound (fingers) for years and dabbled with the longbow in the mid nineties.  After my compound blew a string and damaged the bow beyond repair I got a new compound that was not at all finger friendly.  While it is nice to be able to stack arrows one on top of the other I just miss holding the string in my fingers.  So, here I am back to shooting a traditional equipment and loving it.  

Now for my question.  I have two long bows, a John McCullough RACO and a Jack Smith Blackhawk and I would like to try a FF string but don't know if either of these are FF compatible.  Does anyone know if one or either are FF compatible?

Thanks
Mark

Don't know about the McCullough but my son and I have Blackhawks from Jack Smith.  They are not FF or the modern type material compatible.

Friends of mine own Raco longbows both are FF compatible.

Thanks everyone.  I was hoping the Raco was FF compatible as it is more in poundage range at the moment.
