I received mine with my latest bow from A&H.  Kustom king sells them.  Called the "webster".  Is made from web material.  No chance of it breaking or knots coming loose.  Diffcult to get knots in it.  Works great.  Has different size loops on the top end.  Long over due.   :thumbsup:

The best I have found is the one from Black Widow which they include with every bow they sell.  It covers both ends and makes it safe and easy to string a bow.

Using a stringer is a good thing.   :scared:  

I know far too many archers who will tell you to always use a stringer...and then turn around and string one by hand.  :confused:

Yes, I agree that "Webster" is a good one too.

I just bought one of the WEBSTERS. Let's hope they are that good!!! I lost my Selway a couple of weekends ago so I needed a new one. I like the idea of the WEBSTER because I shoot both recurves and long bows. Nice to find one that does it all.

A Selway LB came with my Chek-Mate LB- works "okay".  Limb tips are a little "fat", and I wonder at times if it might slip out.

Bought a Selway Recurve stringer from 3-Rivers.  Seems to work.

These have a rubber block that rides on the limb you are removing the loop from.

Haven't used any other styles, so I can't say it is the best.  Would like to see the Widow model.

I use a selway for both my recurves and LB's. Always have a backup also.

Like my Selway. Did not like the double-pocket type, I always had to wiggle it around to get my string in the grooves. Always worried about it popping out of the upper pocket while I was wiggling the string in (at full draw) and bonking my head.  

Pressure pad style for me.

Selway is the best stringer.

The Thunderhorn Superstring is the what I have been using for the last couple of years. It can also do both recurves and longbows. Looks pretty neat also. Bought mine from Mike at The Nocking Point but you can also get them from Thunderhorn.

I use a custom stringer made out of web material.  One big long pocket that will fit anything from my big Quinn limb tip to my little Dryad LB tip.  Other side is a big loop that works like a presure pad.

All I sell here in my shop and a custom bow won't leave my shop without a Webster.
