My dad recently picked me up a Shakespeare X-18 Sierra bow for $40 at a flea market. It's it pretty decent condition. My question is, will this bow accept a regular string, ie 4 inches shorter than the length? It's 52 inches long, so I'm going to get a 48 inch string for it. I do know it needs to be dacron.
Yes it will accept a 4" shorter string
yes 48 inch string and don't be surprised by the high brace height. those bows have a high brace height.
Thanks guys! I'm hoping this will make a great bowfishing bow.
yap I agree with Wadde.Those bows could have an 8 1/2" brace height.bd
