I do. I don't do the leg step thru deal. I put the nock in the side of my left shoe, hold the bow by the handle with my left hand, and slide my hand up to the tips and string.
huh?

I dont really get it
Niether did I before a bunch of self-bowyers showed me. Think about it this way. Your holding your bow by the handle with string down towards the ground (bow is upside down). YOu put the bottom bow tip on the side your shoe. With your right hand, you push the top tip with your palm, and with your thumb and index finger, you place the loop in the nock groove.
