Default RE: Selway bow stringer

PABB,

Hold the rubber boot in place with your left hand as you begin to pull up on your riser with your right hand.
If you have trouble stringing the bow because it' s a heavy poundage, step on the bow stringer cord with both feet.
This gives you more leverage and allows you to slide the rubber boot further up the limb lessoning the distance needed to pull the bow while stringing it.
Just make sure your feet are an equal distance on each side of the riser.
You can release the rubber boot once you get enough tension on it.
You don' t want the boot to slip.
Actually, mine does slip on my bows, unlike yours, unless I hold it in place at first.
To me, the Selway is the finest stringer out there.
I like mine so well, I bought a spare.
