Title: help me with a stringer
Post by: Double A on April 19, 2011, 07:46:00 PM
gents, i have two longbows and a recurve.  the longbows are a Great Northern traditional, and a Bear Montana, both low 50lbs.  The recurve is an old Wing Archery bow.  Is there such a thing as a stringer that i could use on all three bows?  If so, can someone clue me in?  If not, is there a stringer that will work for at least both long bows?  I guess i'm wondering if one stringer will work for both longbows even though they are different designs, a little different at least.  thanks!

Black Widow sells a good stringer and you can use on both a recurve and long bow. And a Webster stringer is also a very good one.

I've got a Webster and use it on longbows and recurves.  Got it from Braveheart Archery.

I make mine out of some old leather, para cord and rubber under the leather of the top limb end. The spare I carry is made out of an old shooting glove. They work great and dont hurt the finish.

Picked up a stringer at 3Rivers for both longbows & recurves, have used it successfully on both.  Don't know the bow make as I was just helping out some kids who forgot their stringers, but one of those longbows looked an awful lot like the Bear.
