right below where the string stretchs too before strung.

Got the selway recurve stringer and it seems like the cup portion is keeping me from pulling the bow back enough to get the string on.

Sometimes shortening the length of the stringer makes it easier.

I've used a block style stringer I had with a previous bow and it worked fine.  My double cup stringer works with the Kwyk Styk, but I wanted to make sure I was using the right one with a static tip bow since I've read on here that I dont want to twist a limb.

The Selway works fine on my Black Widow , Habus, and my brackenbury. I pulled so hard on my Kwyk Styk, I thought I was going to break it and the string never budged.

I know I've got lots to learn, but I've never had this much trouble stringing and unstringing a bow.

Same advice from Wingnut and it worked.  Only shortened it about 2" but made a huge difference.

Have 2 Kempf static limb bows and only use the Selway block & cup stringer.  No problems what-so-ever.  Was using it on my Kwyk Styk and showed it to Jack when I picked up my Raven, he said he would be switching from cup-cup style.

Can someone post a few pictures on stringing a static recurve? Cannot find anything on the web. Thanks

Selway block & cup for my RER's and my non-statics as well.

2 static tips here.  KS and RER XR.... Cup and block only.

Push pull isn't going to be happening with any of my recurves.

TaterHill Archer,are you putting both feet on the stringer?

Cup and block! Period!  

Selway recurve cup and block.  I use it on my static no problems at all

I am pretty firm believer that with a Webster and a Selway one can string any bow out there...just gotta sort out which one works best with which bow...definitely the Selway with my RER recurve limbs and my Webster with the longbow limbs

Tip!!!!!!!    I recently learned this and it works absolutely great. Take some rubber bands and put in your pack and bow box. Everytime you string your static. wrap a rubber band around the string and lower limb holding the string in the notches and in the groove on the limb/ Now string up normally with your cup and block stringer and you will not break or twist a limb . I do this every time I string a static or recurve of any type now and man it really is a great tip.

God bless you all, Steve

WAPITI ARCHERY ULTIMAYE BOWSTRINGER by Keith Chastain is made specifically for static or very sharp hooked recurves (like his recurves are). It works very well. I f you have two GOMPY stringers you can make one as well. The principle is the same.
98% of limb damage is caused by improper stringing and not checking limb alignment after stringing. Yes, you can twist a limb even with a bow stringer....
With one of these stringers I string my Sovereign Trident. Being a 60" bow makes it otherwise impossible for me to string it.

I use the "Thunderhorn stringer" with the rubber arrowhead on one end and a cup on the other. I got my first one 6 or 7 years ago when I bought a Rivers Edge Recurve (RER) Arroyo static tip recurve. I still use the Thunderhorn Stringer for my homemade recurves even though they are not "static"

Good tip on the rubber band for lower limb to hold string

The thunderhorn hugs the string nice and title these can be        

Give these a look,they have a two block system and are easily adjusted for length. I can't see why this system wouldn't work.

Block and cup - one longbow specific and one recurve specific.

One foot on the stringer for the longbow. 2 feet in a shoulder-width stance on the stringer for the recurves.

Recently had this question on the bowyer's bench. Anyone have pics of using a stringer? Would love to see how they work and are made.
