Changes your bow weight 2-4 pounds.

It's for  a stringer to attach. That way each limb had equal pressure applied.

Like Pearlie said, this is to use a simple stringer for bracing and unbracing the bow. You see it on heavier war bows quite often. The simple stringer can be as simple as a string with a loop or knot at each end that is slightly longer than the bow or a long bowstring will work also.
