RE: How do you string a recurve?
Buck Boy,
Where do we start? When you say the string is loose and flimsy, do you mean when it is unstrung. I hope that is what you mean, or you definitely have a string that does not match your bow!
I would say lets answer that question first and then we will have a starting point. My first suggestion without knowing the answer is find a good proshop! They can string it for you properly and then you will know what it should look like.
Did your stringer come with directions on how to use it?
