trad versus primitive
woodstick:
i got selfbows and glass bows i like em both. center shot is a plus, also glass is a plus. bit i like my sticks.
Pappy:
I shoot selfbows but like them all,I do think the glass bows,at least most of them are a little more forgiving and a little easier to tune to the arrow.Hawk I have seen more selfbows broke or excessive set put in them from stringing than any other reason,that is why unless someone is really aware of what they are doing to the limb when stringing I always suggest using a stringer.Most don't like them,to slow but it will help keep the bow in better shape.I kick string most of my bows but on the heaver ones I use a stringer. :)

Little John:
Well I like the self bows best just because and will continue hunting with them exclusively, but it was fun having a very good shooting session just for a confidence builder. Any way have been shooting the self bows well the last couple of days by drilling on form, follow thru, and release. A poor day of shooting still beats a good day of working. Kenneth
Pappy:
Josh ,it is setting the tip of the bow in between the sole of your shoe ,then pull on the handle
and push the top limb while pulling on the bottom and slide the string up and on.Some may call it push/pull.A lot of people do it that way and it works you just have to be aware of what you are
doing to the top or bottom limb,I have seen a lot of folks over stress one while the other not bending just to get the string on.Sorry Little John not trying to hijack your thread. ;) :)
