How do you string your longbow??Push-pull or stringer??I use a Webster on my Hills,whats the safest way??

Lotsa ways, some recommended for safety (you and the bow) and some are quick and easy.  

A lot depends on the design of the bow.  Straight limbed bows are almost made to be strung by push pull, while severe R/D makes it tougher to handle for a lot of folks.  A recurve CAN be strung manually but really should be strung using a good stringer.

I usually just push pull with longbows unless it is a very heavy pull R/D.  Then I will use a stringer to make it easier.

I push/pull brace most bows. The ones I can't I use a stringer.

Step through and bend her over.

I push-pull my ASLs. They're 68" and I'm about 69" so I'm playing in the margins as far as reach goes. If I shot a 70" I'd likely need a stringer but 68" is my pet length. Recurves, stringer; always.

Push-Pull for me and longbows, stringer for recurves.

Same with me

Stringers for everything for me.

Push/pull is fast, easy, and risky.  Stringer is risk free and just a touch slower.

Webster the safest, usually use step thru for stable longbow limbs, stringer for heavy reflex deflex longbows, acs limbs and recurves.

for longbows/selfbows I do the push-pull....most strings dont work well on longbows especially if they have small tips.

all other bows I use a Selway Stringer as it does not cover the upper limb tip...and is more safe in my opinion for the bow.

I do not string any bow without a stringer. Seen to many mishaps without one from cuts and bruises to knocked out teeth and eyes. Safety counts it only takes one mishap to learn the hard way. I don't care to play bow stringing roulette.

I always use a stringer for my longbows and recurve so.

I use a Webster for everything it will work on...a have a few bows that require a Selway type stringer...I push/pull string a few of my bows sometimes

I love the simplicity of a longbow-so push pull for me. If I'm shooting a RC or heavy RD it's with a stringer.

Stringers are not without issue themselves.  I have seen, and I have had a stringer come off the bow tip while at flex.  That gets scary too and could be dangerous.  Be careful, whatever you do.

Push pull for me.

Step thru for all my selfbows and ASL's.

Push-pull on all my longbows.  Usually use a stringer for recurves.

Used to do push-pull, but kirk told me more bow limbs are twisted stringing and unstringing, so he recommended a stringer.

My SASS is R/D lb, so I use the stringer...every time... some limbs have thicker tip build ups so slidding up over can be more challenging...

Stringers are easy and I have one in several locations and never found it an inconvenience!
