hold your xbow at one limb and let the other limb touch the ground (
groundside limb with bowstring prepared/hooked in ), the stock should be
located between your legs , and now you just sit down at the stock so that
your weight does all the work and gets the groundside limb under pressure
…
and now you can EASYLY hook the other end of the string in position 😉
hope its understandable and i could help a bit
i wouldnt reccomend dryfiring ( even with a longer stringer and less energy
its not good for any bow )
Beeswax will extend your string life enormously; everyone has their own way
of doing it but I only wax the bowstring from the ends to about a quarter
inch onto the serving, so you dont get wax on your rails 😉
You know, you should NEVER dry fire a cross bow, with a stinger or with a
regular string..this can cause the bow to crack or break entirely. Always
let the string down easy, especially when re-stringing a crossbow.
Yeah I noticed when I started using it on the 150lb crossbow it went from
almost frayed and near death to surviving far longer as the wax stopped it
deteriorating so fast, the string eventually gave up as one of the end
loops got too wide so it didn’t stay on properly.
I always seem to run in to you when using youtube fellow /k/omrade. Out of
curiosity, do you leave your crossbow strung when not in use or do you only
string it when you are going to use it?
This crossbow uses 26″ inch strings, I think the stringer is either 27/28″
I would measure it for you but I can’t find it atm. Once you cock it with
your own stringer, could you possibly then apply more force to one of the
limbs to get it that last bit of length? If you apply enough weight to the
inside of the bow to either the left or right side of the front of the
crossbow you should get more leverage on it.
thanks for the video, it’s very helpful. i have a crossbow similar to yours
but the butt on mine is solid not open like yours. i have ordered a
stringer and i should receive it in a week. i can’t wait, nnow all i need
is a target.
Cheers, if it makes anyones life easier with a crossbow that would be good,
as I never knew about stringers until after I first managed to string the
150lb, had to get two people to sit on each end of the prod. Which is
actually a very fast easy method if you have other people to help. Then
when the 120lb came I tried doing it by hand and managed to get the string
on skewiff so ended up ordering a stringer to sort it out, the bit of time
pissing about with a screwdriver at the end is still far
What is the length of a stringer compared to the actual bow string though?
I made my own stringer but i came like 2 or 3 mm short after cocking the
stringer…I just couldnt get it over the edge.

better and SAFER stringing without stringer :
hold your xbow at one limb and let the other limb touch the ground (
groundside limb with bowstring prepared/hooked in ), the stock should be
located between your legs , and now you just sit down at the stock so that
your weight does all the work and gets the groundside limb under pressure
…
and now you can EASYLY hook the other end of the string in position 😉

con questa corda è uguale a un dryfire con corda normale? l’ho fatto anche
io,si danneggiano i flettenti?
Dry fire is insane,it could snap the prod & do serious injury.
i have an 80 pound pistol crossbow. i plan to buy a regular crossbow string
and keep tying knots in it til it is short enough to work as a stringer
Just got a cross bow the stringer is very tough is this just because the
crossbow is new? thankyou
Do stringers come with the bow?

and i can not draw it by hand because it is too strong

Nice one mate. I remember when i purchased my crossbow it came with a metal
rope stringer.
Please don’t dry fire like that. I fear for your safety if you have a
misfire because the limbs break.
less time consuming than annoying than trying to do the crossbow by hand,
especially I imagine if you’re trying to string a 175lb+ crossbow.
Thanks, yeah they’re a life/time saver when it comes to stringing crossbows.
I have that exact crossbow.

No idea exact number, I’m guessing at least 150 shots.

Is the stringer too wide for the nock?

The instructions tell you to dry fire it.

i am can’t draw the stringer because it comes loose from the nock
After approximately how many shots/uses did your old string give up?
I leave them strung as with modern fiberglass limbs it’s not a problem a
wood limb bow would need unstringing however.
yes
Great job mate i would never have thought of that!!!!
Very good. Its amazing how many people who own crossbows dont know about
these. Good on you for sharing mate.
twist the noose of the stringer a few times to make the hole smaller.
That’s useful, all my crossbows have basically been like. Instruction
manual. 1.Bend bow 2.Loop over string
