bracing a warbow

<< < (2/3) > >>

Well... I switched to a FF string, and as advised, I can brace the bow with ease. Thanks, guys, for the help. Much appreciated.

a very easy method is putting your knee against the handle and using your whole boddy to push te bow forward, with your left hand holding the nock back and your right hand putting the string on your nock. You have to stand against a wall or a tree for this. I use this for all my bows, I just bought a 100 pound warbow (these warbows really are addicting), and it works fine. Never had a problem with this!

I use a long string on mine. Even the real hardcore war bow guys in England use stringers. Its safer for the bow and you  ;)

 Here is a double cut nock that was described above:

I have used this method and a stringer but now I use this:
put the bottom knock against the outside of my left foot and slip my right foot between string and belly of the bow.  push my butt cheek against the handle area and while pushing the hanndle, pull the top limb and easily slipping the string into the knock.  I shoot 110 @ 32".  as long as you keep the push pull even, it's no problem.

I tried this the other day and was very impressed (100lb bow), it works really well
but, I then tried it with my 140lb bow today and there is no way on earth I can string it this way :-(

actually, after re reading your post I am not sure I am doing it the way you do ?
I rest the bottom bow tip on the ground then my knee on the handle leaning on the bow and pulling the tup nock with my hand
