Title: Stringing Issue
Post by: fentiger on June 16, 2010, 02:13:00 PM
'Am way overbowed for my tiny gimpy fingers/hands. Can safetly string 65# Dorado, using a Webster's stringer. Drawing and holding bow back is no issue I use a release and shoot compound style aim aim aim miss.

 However tried stringing very high preload "Spoiler" warf with 72?#Sky limbs and riser spun and squished one of my good fingers. Can string Bear warf with same limbs but with a little difficulty. No? visible damage to riser or bow. Then had boss lady then help but am now very nervous for the bow if I have another surprise release.

 Please Mr. OZ buff guide, please string my bow;-[

 Any suggestions? Sliding block types do not give me enough leverage before my fingers let go? Somebody said that "Widow" factory uses some kind of leverage system?

John Sullins, when he ran Sipsey River Archery, had a gizmo he used to string all sorts  and poundages.  Send him a PM, he can describe it and how to use it.  Bill
