Stringing Technique?
TheDukesArchers:
It was indeed. It's an Osage Orange Warbow, but for the price I payed I can't really complain.
WillS:
Fair enough. But yeah, post a pic or two of the setup, it'll be far easier to help out that way.
It's a combo of a few things, really - practice with the right technique, the right length string, the right type of string and a surprising amount of nerves. The first time you brace a really heavy bow it's a bit nervy, you need to do it a couple of times before you stop worrying it's going to blow up in your face.
TheDukesArchers:
I'm back at Uni right now so haven't got the bow.
Yes it's very nervy trying to brace it!!
toomanyknots:
Do you know how to tie a bowyers knot? You can't just use any knot, or it will break, or slip. Be careful, don't hurt yourself, you could easily of pulled out your back or broke your bow you just bought by not knowing what you are doing.

:o What is going on anymore, ;D. If you braced a bow with a string 9" shorter than the bow, the brace height would be, just a guess here, like 20" or something. The string should only be 3" shorter than the bow.

With FF, it should be about 2" shorter, or less.

True, that still trips me up, :).

I can't try again till I go back home from uni. Using my old recurve to train at the moment as it easily pulls 33.
