RE: Bow stringers?How do they work?
Copy this post to the traditional forum, it will be answered immediately. A recurve is considered "traditional" and there are some really nice and knowledgeable guys over there.
The way I string mine is, bare with me, it's hard to describe:
My string has a big loop on one end and a small loop on the other. I fit the small loop in the grooves and then slide the big loop down the limb of the recurve. I then put one leg between the string and the bow, holding it kind of sideways. With one leg on one side of the bow I push the bow forward letting the outside of the limb press against my opposite leg and thereby creating leverage. I then push the top limb down bending it enough to slide the string with the big look up onto its groove. Its really easy, but hard to describe. I have no experience with stringers. Like I said, go the traditional forum.
