If customers use step through on any of my bows, the 2 year warranty is void.

adb- can you help me understand why?  Not arguing I sincerely want to know. 
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

I use push/pull on straighter bows and stringers on my recurves.
I have seen too many bows ruined by stepthrough,mostly fg bows but twisting cant be good whatever material.
It's better to ask and look like a fool than not to ask and remain one...

Issues with limb twist while bracing using step through. This is a BAD method for LBs, and not much better for RCs IMHO.

Ah.  I see.  Hmmm.  Guess I need to learn how to use a stringer.  Thanks.

I use a stringer on all my glass bows.  My ELB's with horn nocks don't have stringing grooves, so they get the step through method and I'm careful to bend them evenly/as straightly as possible.  My warbow has stringing nocks, but I often use step through on it too.
