Title: Bow stinger ideas
Post by: woodswalker on January 26, 2014, 11:36:09 am: Looking into making my own bow stringer. Does anyone happen to have any pics of any they have made themselves?
Thanks for any help.

Post by: Mohawk13 on January 27, 2014, 02:24:03 pm: Big end for the lower limb, Small one for the top limb. Need room to slide the strings into the nocks....

Yup, you can make just two cups though if you want. But the big pouch is helpful for recurves especially, and helps keep it from twisting a bit while stringing. Or at least I think that's the reasoning.
