Bow Stringers for Warbows?
Marc St Louis:
You should be able to brace a 100# bow with the step through method

Could this method cause an uneven set though?
Loki:
Using a stringer will be kinder to the Bow in the long run,I use them for all my Longbows regardless of the weight.
Et_tu_brute:
I agree with Loki - as I understand it if done correctly the step-through method is safe, however it is easy to do improperly so can cause limb twist, so personally I'd take the safe option and use a stringer.
Oorlogsboog:
I started out with a stringer made from sail-cord with a breaking strength of 150 kgs.
Now.. I just put the bottom nock on the inside of my boot and by pulling the centre and puching down on the top limb I work the top loop to and in the nock.
Works like a charm ( on both my 100 lbs Fairbow and my 110 lbs Stratton warbows. )
Also 150 kgs is guaranteeing no unwanted 'mishaps'... Stringers from a 'regular' bow-shop are NOT suitable for warbows ;D )
