Martin ML-18 bushmaster longbow
« on: November 13, 2007, 11:18:00 PM »
Hi, just purchased a Martin bushmaster 60# @28". I was wondering if this bow will accept fast flight strings? I will most likely just use B-50 dacron string but was wondering if it was rated for a ff string . Thanks, Thomas

It can handle the fast flight. I have had my bushmaster,45#@28" for 10 years and have always used fast flight on it.

I have a 55#@28 Custom B I bougyt new in the mid-90's and have always used FF. I believe it is mentioned as being FF compatible on the Martin site. It may be too far back now in their reference section but it was noted when that year was still referenced in the history tab.

I have had about 10 of these.  Just bought another. Just pad the loops to be on the safe side. I have always used FF on them since day 1. One of the best bows tha Martin put out. As per conversation with Martin, it's back with different woods...(Barta Bow)    Mark

Thanks to all. I'll have to see what it has on it , and then decide if I want to go with Dacron or Fast Flight. Again Thank You Thomas
