Stringer

A stringer (bow stringer) is an aid used to safely string a bow. It is placed over both limb tips and allows the string to be drawn onto the bow in a controlled manner—without twisting the limbs.

Advantages:

  • Gentle on the limbs
  • Prevents misalignment
  • Safer than the “step-through” method
  • Especially recommended for recurve and longbows

Using a stringer increases safety and prolongs the lifespan of the bow.
