Just a few months ago I was using a rubber block stringer and the stringer cut right through the block and let go of the bow. Very exciting.

I now use stepthrough and make sure the limbs are aligned throughout the process.

That is almost exactly where mine was!! I don't think some one could swing a stick as fast or hard as a long bow moves when loosed!

I've heard of a woman that put her eye out while stringing a recurve. I don't remember what method she was using.

I sure give a bow alot of respect and attention when I'm stringing them up. I keep my fiberglass bows strung.

Marvin, that looks painful. I'm glad you will be ok.

Marvin, COOL pics...now your face has some character! Just think of the cool stories you can tell your grandkids!

Bowstringers make me nervous. I always keep my hand between the limb and my face. I can handle a broken finger but my face has enough character already!!
