Bow Stringers for Warbows?
alanesq:
I too use paracord as a stringer (used on bow upto 150lb)
its not ideal as it stretches but it works ok and is very cheap and easy to get

Could this method cause an uneven set though?

Not if you are careful

Limb twist is more of an issue with recurves not longbows
Jude:
Step through works fine, as long as you brace the handle against your thigh, so both limbs bend.
adb:
I brace all my warbows, up to 110#, with push/pull. That's using FF strings, of course.
