Title: bow stringer
Post by: ohma on January 06, 2011, 11:31:04 am

heres a bow stringer that i mentioned in Marks thread on the subject.its pretty much self explanatory. bottom post retains lower limb the upper retains the grip,pull back on upper limb secure the string in nock grove.it is very safe very handy very simple. if you string and un string alot of bows it is realy handy.the upper handle lever is made to pivot so as to accept alot of different length bows.

it realy is a great way for young people or ladies or old men to safely string a bow of any weight.
