Cant string my warbow. HELP

(1/2) > >>

TheDukesArchers:
Having just received my first warbow (100lb at 32) I have a slight problem, I can't seem to string the bow using a double loop stringer. Either I don't possess the strength to do it or I'm doing something completely wrong. I did make the stringer myself using two separate pieces of parcel string for strength. I can't seem to lift the bow past my belly button area with one hand.

Advice appreciated!

kevinsmith5:
Can you get a pic of you trying?

adb:
Your bastard string is either too stretchy, too long, or both.

Bearded bowyer:
Definatly sounds like its too long if you are having to get it up to your belly button. You can try (I've done this) get it as high as you can then bend your knees to get stomach under the string then stand up again.
Pic. would definitely help :)

"parcel string"???? I hope that stuff is stronger than it sounds.
