Bow Stringing Instructional Video
« on: August 22, 2011, 12:07:41 pm »
Hey, all.  Here's a link to a video I created showing how I string a bow using double nocks and a simple stringer.  In the video I'm stringing a static recurve with brush nocks, which can be a real pain.  I've found this method to be the safest, easiest, and quickest.  Hope it helps  :)

Nice video, like the sepia look.  Beautiful bow, straight as a string.

I have started adding double nocks on all my bows. I put a double nock on the top limb and a single, wide single nock on the lower limb and put the stringer loop over the bow string on the lower nock. The parachute cord in the pictures is hanging loose. When I put tension on it, it stretches and conforms to the string nocks for a tight fit.

Eric, I do something similar to bows that I don't want to string using the push-pull method, namely heavy or recurved bows. Works well! Nice tips btw.
