Title: Wild horse creek question
Post by: ArthursParadox on June 27, 2021, 07:40:54 AM
Picked up a new to me  Wild Horse Creek Longbow earlier this year.  What a great bow.  Having a blast shooting it. I want to order a new string but unsure of material to use.  Does anyone know if these bows are fast flight approved or should I stick with dacron?  Thank you in advance for your advice. Also any recommendations on where to buy a quality string would be appreciated.

Mike and his wife are very nice people. I spent some time visiting with them at the Compton Rendezvous this year. Before I left, I put in an order for a 2 piece Condor.

They are fast flight approved by I like the dacron strings that Mike sends with the bow.  Mine has not had any creep since the initial break in.

I had a blast shooting Mt Steve's WHC longbow.  It was a good performer, and very light in the hand and with decent speed for the heavy arrows I was pushing through it.  Just figured it was FF string.

I have 4 of Mikes longbows , from a Hawk that I bought long ago to the Destiny a few years back, you can shoot fast flight, but they come with Dacron B 50 , I have shot both and use to be a fast flight go to  shooter but now use only Dacron.

I currently have a kestral.  I am excitedly waiting for the Wisp I ordered.  Mike is a class act who makes a great product.

I have asked Mike about it. The limb tips are reinforced to use low-stretch strings, but he prefers dacron.
