i was un-stringing my bear kodiak hunter when, SNAP! it broke. I have been worried about this since i got it, but im just glad no fiberglass shot in my leg. the worst part is a told my dads friend (who gave me the bow) who is in his late 80's i would take a deer for him with it.
oh well, im just glad i didn't get hurt. i was just starting to shoot good with it to!!

Were you using a bow stringer or the old step through method?

huntingkidPA

step through method

the_trapperDave

now ya know why everyone stresses using a stringer.

glad your ok

Bernie P.

Selway makes a great recurve stringer.My Martin Hunter came with one.The risk of twisting the limbs or worse using the step through method just isn't worth the few dollars you save going without one.Glad your OK.

well we had asked the guy at the archery shop if that method was ok, he said i would be fine. the funny thing is he specializes in recurves.

Bernie P.

Sounds to me like he specializes in stupidity !
