What is Your Favourite Bowstringer?

[CraigH]

I like my Bearpaw bowstringer for my longbows, (Has the two limb tip cups each end.) and my Shooting Star stringer for my recurves. (Limb tip pocket one end and friction pad the other.)

What is your favourite bowstringer?

[Stickbow Hunter]

My foot, leg and arms as I use the step through method. I hate stringers!

[Fanto]

Of all the ones I own and don't use the Selway one is the best I reckon

I do step through like Jeff on all my bows

[The Hunt]

My one made by Steve Wallace !

Don;t know what make they are but i use the ones with a cup on each end. My main recurve is a 52" that would cost me to much to replace the limbs, not gunna take the chance of twisting them shorties, so I use a stringer everytime,

Never tried one of the friction ones, would like to though

I bought one of the 'limbsaver' friction style stringers from 3rivers last time I was stateside and it's pretty good, but all the ones I have seen are much the same.

Hah..... that's funny Sue, good one.

I use a Selway Limbsaver when I am tuning a new string to length, but otherwise I use push-pull (all longbows). It can be tricky with heavier bows though.

I just use the simple step through method with my longbows as there is very little danger of twisting the limbs. I still use the step through method with my recurve, but to avoid the possibility of limb twist, I place an old belt around my ankle and then put the bottom limb of the bow through the belt. This way the limb can't be twisted as it freely tracks around within the belt where it aligns itself perfectly every time.

A skookum brand made with orange webbing no KNOTS. Brilliant but don't think it is on the market anymore.

I do my Recurves the same as Mick

[alaninoz]

Push-pull on my longbows. A stringer would just be something else than I can't find when I need it.

[Trad Bound]

Seen a really nice recurve (Great Plains) done with push and pull method. A few beers and snap went the limb. Ouch same fellow same drink decided to play with his throwing tomohawk, threw it into the air, you guessed it caught it by the blade straight across his palm, yep it was razor sharp. Nothing to do with the grog . I am stringer user, some is some ain't. Longbow or recurve I ain't not gonna use one

[flyne]

Selway for my curves especialy the static tips and a tip to tip neet or Saunders for my lb

If I shot recurves I would do the same Mick.

I must be a bit slow, it took me a while to get that one. Nice one.



A good bow-stringer definitely saves my back.

Funny, my one is called Steve too!
