· Place the smaller end loop on the bottom limb string groove
(diagram D).
3. With the bottom end loop securely in the bottom limb string
groove, slide the fabric or cup section (diagram F) (depending
on the model of the recurve bow stringer) over the string side
of the bottom limb. Then slide the limb gripper component
over the top limb, place it approximately six inches from the
limb tip (diagram E). Make sure the rubber component rests
against the target side of the limb and that the cord that
attaches the top and bottom pieces of the stringer is not
tangled and is routed on the string side of the bow.
4. Stand and hold the bow horizontally (diagram G) with the
recurve bow stringer cord should be hanging towards your
feet. As shown in the photo, step on the cord with both feet
while pulling up on the bow with one hand so the cord is tight-
ened, flexing the limbs. While maintaining tension on the bow,
slide the top end loop of the bowstring up the limb and secure
it in the top limb string groove (diagram H). Once the string is
in place, carefully relax the bow stringer cord by slowly letting
the bow down. The shooting string will tighten and hold the
bow at brace height.
5. Carefully inspect the shooting string and verify that it is
securely in the string grooves, and then remove the recurve
bow stringer.
6. Without an arrow, pluck the bowstring about one or two
inches to “seat” the limbs. This completes the assembly pro-
cedure (diagram I).
WARNING: Never dry fire your bow. To dry fire your bow,
means to shoot the bow without an arrow.
8. Carefully inspect the string for excessive wear and damage.
Apply string wax as needed.
