I promised myself I wouldn't string up my new supermag until I caught up on a bunch of work. Of course I lied to myself, so today I went looking for my stringer.

Poof gone [:@]

I'm at a loss... no idea where it could have went.

Has anyone ever made a homeade stringer, and if yes, how? Or is that just crazy talk...

I've made a couple of them. I use some soft strap materialused to pull wiring through conduit. It won't stretch and holds a knot well.I tied a loop big enough to go over the bottom limb tip, andleft enough slack to be able tohold the bow at the end of my arm and step on the center of the strap. The other loop is just big enough for the top limb tip toslip in so that the string groove still shows. Works great.

Hope you've got Adobe Reader. You'll need it to view the instructions.

I made one that wasn't nearly that nice and fancy. I took an old, worn out Gorrila Grip arrow puller, cut the two halves apart, then cut two pieces off, about 1" long. Then I drilled holes through both of them. You've got to use a drill bigger than the hole size you need for the cord because the drill cuts a lot smaller hole in rubber than the drill size. I think I finally wound up using a 3/8" drill to get a 1/4" hole drilled through the stuff. Then I ran my cord through the hole, pulled out a loop about 10" long and tied tied it off. Did that for both ends.

Sit the rubber in the recurve area flat side down near the tip on the bottom limb andjust below the string loop on the top end and you know how to do the rest. Just like any other stringer. If the rubber tries to slip - mine did at first - just take some sandpaper and roughen the flat surface.

When I missplace mine or just dont want to use it,I just string it the old fasion way,left leg between string and bow with the tip on the outside of my right foot and with the left hand bend bow to the right over leg sliding the sting up with my right hand into the tip/string grove and done,same to unstring.....
I also find it faster to do it this way,also it's good to have a tip protector on the one tip that way you wount scratch the tip by mistake.
Some of you know what I just tried to explane.......
