Dane:
I was wondering if anyone can address the topic of how you brace your bows, particularly in the tillering phase, and especially with higher weight bows. Honestly, this is one of my least favorite things to do.

If anyone can comment, I would appreciate it.

Dano:
Dane, with higher weight bows I use a stringer, most of the time the push pull method.

Pat B:
I do the same as Dano. If I can't comfortably brace a bow with the push/pull method then I use a stringer. During the tillering process you want to stress the bow as little as possible so a stringer should probably be used. I don't always do it though.   Pat

Hillbilly:
I always do the step-through thing. A lot of people frown on it for some reason, but I've never had a problem. The push-pull thang feels awkward to me, not to mention dangerous.

Coo-wah-chobee:
  I used to use step-through method-dont anymore--now use a stringer all the time-its safer and easy for me at least-like Hillbilly never liked that pull-push thang !--------------------------------
