North Georgia traditional archery has a shoot in Gainesville today. They may be gone but thoose guys can steer you in the right direction.
I know of no shop in the area just Big Jim's Bows in Albany. Archery Traditions in athens is closed I believe.
Link is a dead end!
Flemish is a type of knot that is used to make a bow string kinda like a endless loop string. Either style can be made using any type of string material from fastflight to dacron.
Most older bows do not have the extra overlays on the tips to keep from busting the tips off...
Can you quote me that somewhere?
I have never heard different lengths strings because of the string mateial? The length is going to be the same no matter what material it is made of. 3" shorter for being a long bow is the best place to start.
NEVER use fast flight on a old bow unless you...
Right off the top of my head with that being more of a long bow than a recurve your looking at a string 3 inches shorter than the amo length. A 57inch 12 strand DACRONstring would be a good starting point.
You will have to adjust to get this right. The shape is more of a longbow versus a...
If it is a Bear Grizzly recurve bow. It should be a 58" amo length which will require a 54" actual length string. I have owned and have made a few strings for them.

Hate to saw it but there is more sentimental value on that bow than it is actually worth, Check the auction site you you will see it going between 50-125 dollars.
the arrows are nice but they don't have any collectors value either.
Put you a new string on it and go shoot it. Enjoy what your...
Nice shooting...
Now do that with a Recurve or a Longbow.
I got few of thoose trophies from shooting Recurves the last few years.
And the mythbusters was trying to split a wooden arrow with a broadhead like in the Robin Hood movie. No comparison to this unless I missed a diferent epsiode.
You will need either a flemish twist string (prefered) or a endless loop string. Don't use antthing but B-50 dacron on it our you could damage the bow.
I make flemish b-50 strings as a hobby.
I own like 12 or so recurves.
Good bow what poundage?
Look for obiovious damage and limb twists.
The only good trad shop I know of us in albany. BigJims bow company.
If you iust want a string yell
