Post by: Sharpend60 on September 08, 2012, 09:15:00 PM
You could always resort to this method.
Any takers?

Am I missing something? Seems like that would work just fine.

Doesn't seem any more dangerous than other methods to me.

The bowstringer you guys use work using pretty much the same principles... not much difference other than positioning... mechanics look to be the same and doesn't look all that dangerous.

It looks like a fine way to string a bow, especially with the higher poundages.  I remember helping a buddy string his 90# Howard hill and it was a chore, this might be the ticket.

actually looks safer than a few stringers I've used with my recurves.With the bow facing that direction it would be very easy to see if the string is seated perfectly in the grooves.

I like to listen to different music when I string my bow   :bigsmyl:

I'd have a sore stomach with that belt tightening around my middle, most likely be one big bruise

ooohhh man if that slipped off his toes..  ouch!

I could see doing this if I placed the bow more in the bend of my foot than on my toes.

What say you, bowyers??  Would this stringing method void your warranty?

How does he maintain consistent brace height with that method? He's taking the string off willy nilly.

How you string/unstring your bow doesn't affect your brace height. How you care for your string in regards to how you take it off and put it on while maintaining the proper amount of twists does. I could use this method and still retain proper brace height... just gotta be aware of what you're doing when you remove and replace your string.
