What is a good stringer to fit long bows? It seems they are all to deep in the pockets.

Thunderhorns work well for me.

I use the limbsaver longbow stringer by selway. It has the pocket on one end and the rubber limb block on the other.

I have one that was to deep also and I put some pieces of paper towel in the pocket and it works well.

Selway works great.

I have one that is made by Martin archery it has a small cup.

The Webster works well on all kinds of bows.

You can put stitches into any leather or web pocket to make it shallower..........I dont like the block type myself and now make my own double pocket ones with webbing.

Don't need no stringer for longbows.. Maybe some of the newer carbon ones.?? Recurves definitely..Push Pull.

Selway here too.  

When you get over 65# and bows longer than 68, push/pull becomes a whole different animal.......  :eek:

Push-pull for longbow here (but never a recurve).

ok i got to ask as im getting a longbow
in a few weeks so what is push pull?
do i just grab it and push pull as i would when taking a shot and the string pops into the groves ?

I have been useing the one from Black Widow, but I just got a Webster (I think that's the name). It is for a recurve or long bow.

It is a very will made stringer, and it is made of nylon strap. Just below the top pocket there is another pocket for a short bow. It is realy neat, give it a try, I think you will like it.

Love the webster really easy to use.

Hey 44mag I would like to see you try that.It would be best if someone showed you how.You can string a longbow in about 3 sec.If they are 68" or longer with 65# or so you may get embarrassed by the fact your not as strong as you thought.

yea im still trying to figure it out and im getting a 60 so im sure thats not going to happen. im not as strong as i once were and even then. so i have to ask
no really how do you push pull a longbow?

I string my longbow with a Webster, got it from Braveheart Archery.

Selway limbsaver for me too  

Push/Pull.....for RH shooters

Grab bow backward at grip with right hand (string side away from you)

Place bottom limb tip against instep of right foot.(foot turned out sideways)

Place left palm against top limb just under string loop, grab loop with thumb and index finger.

PUSH top limb away while PULLING in on grip and slide palm up till string loop is in the nock.

On bows 68" and longer you usually just run out of arm...........anything over 65# and I dont get enough leverage and my hand doesnt want to slide up..........YMMV
