Bow stinger ideas
« 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.

Greg B makes a great bow stringer that is pretty simple but very effective. He usually has plenty of them around the bow building shed at Twin Oaks during the Tennessee Classic.

Here's some pics I pilfer'd up from the internet, I make mine based on these designs. Although I add eyelets to the ears of the pouch, and I think it would benefit from having closer spaced stitching, but these work good for me.

I'm confused, why does it have different ends?

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.
