Duh, quick question

[trapperDave]

When using a stringer, (with the leather pocket on each end), how does one remove the string from the bow? Ive always been a step thru kinda guy till recently and have a bow with a string that needs replaced. Back to the step thru till the string is on?

[vermonster13]

Use the stringer to let the bow down. Then remove the loop from the bottom nock and then slide the top loop off the upper limb/nock.

Dave,
more bows get ruined with the step thru method that anything else, get yourself a stringer that has a pocket on one side and a flat rubber(bottom limb) or neoprene square on the other(top limb)
Or learn the push pull method of stringing a bow.
Regards, Bert

Have some coffee, Dave. You just took one of the steps the rest of us stumbled through.

Just remember Dave, we are all laughing at you and not with you or is it the other way around.  Better to ask and get it squared away than sit there wondering.

in my defense(as if I have one) I work the off shift so this is EARLY AM to me  

[trapperDave]

Funniest part is....all my bows are on the wall in the other room......unstrung

Glad to be of service.    :p

I like the kind with the leather pockets but it work on some of my bows with the smaller ends so I have both. It's awkard sometimes to use the stringer with the rubber block on longer bows cause the block doesn't go far enough out the limb. I guess nothing is perfect.

Hows that broadhead collection coming along ?

The push-pull method is easy on the bow but will be very hard on your face-eyes if your hand slips while doing it.    Be just about like putting your face in front of a limb tip while someone is shooting it!
Could even lose an eye that way. Use your stringer,

[trapperDave]

its starting to look like a collection    I need to make some sort of display case when the weather warms.

Wall space is mighty precious here, too.

Some of those pockets are too deep if that is your problem.  Easy to happen with bows with smaller nock ends.  Put paper or leather in the pocket so enuf of the nock on the bow is exposed to remove the string.  Just don't put in too much!
