What is the best way to string this bow? Do you have a bow stringer that you recommend for it?

I string it through my legs like any other recurve. But if you absolutely must do it the traditional way then go to YouTube and look up how to string a Mongolian bow. This is not a Mongolian bow but they have a similar shape.

Place one pellet into the whole at the nose of the bow. Hold the bow in front of you with arm outstretched and pull the pink hand pull back until a small green bead appears then release and watch it fly ! If you try to let go before bow string is fully extended and the bead shows in the centre it will not work.

You can use anything to string an unstrung bow, even your bare hands with leverage... If you mean to use paracord as THE string, I would say yes depending on how much weight the string can bear. But if it's an emergency I would try anything honestly. If you want to test your "emergency string" I'd start slow by using a stringer to gently release the limb tension onto the paracord string. The knots you use would be the key factor I'd think. Strings can snap even with regular string, so just be careful and be ready for it. HA

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

You have to have arrows tuned to the bow. I have only seen arrows out of a box work with a bow once in my life.

I have no idea why you need a stringer for a comp-bow. But no, doubt it. NOT SURE, but I doubt it.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

If there is no AMO string length on the bow, then you can start with the tip to tip (unstrung) as a "pretty close" length. If the old string is intact, it will probably have stretched if it's not a fast-flight string, so go a 1/2" or so shorter. The AMO string will measure about 4" shorter than what the package says. I have a bunch of Bill Stewart recurves with the "multicam" wrinkle in them and found the string length needed when not listed is very close to the tip to tip measurement, keeping in mind the Stewart limbs have a more radical curve at the tip. Base height when strung should be around 6-3/4" to 7-1/2" ( distance from innermost section of grip to string). May want to go a bit long and then twist the string to get dialed in, string should have some twists anyway and if it is well waxed the twists tend to "set".

I bought one of these back in October and use the rope. You just have to use trial and error to get the rope adjusted to your height. I am 5'10 and had to shorten it about a foot so that I could finish cocking it before my arms were at chest height. Just keep tying knots above the handle until it is a good length. Once you figure it out its pretty easy. I cock mine and then get in my stand. The crank would be handy to have if you didn't want to keep it cocked the whole time you are hunting.

Yes , I do so after every hunting day(less wear on bow and quieter). There are u tube videos on how to do it. If done right it does not require much strength. I Wondered how you could hold back string with one hand ,but with proper leverage from a normal cocking rope there is very little pressure on it. Had a friend help first time, a good way to get the feel for it. Make sure to follow instructions closely and it's surprisingly easy.

Get finger protection. Glove, Tab, or Finger Savers on the string. If you start whacking your arm with the string you need a arm guard thing. Shooting a bow without pain is awesome :)

Try doing a search on UTube for a video. Hard to explain but you use you foot and leg to force the bow to bend enough to string and unstring it.

When you ask the question of whether or not I could change the cable I would have to answer that I probably could have changed them but due to the inexperience on my part I did not know what I needed to know to verify that I had done it correctly. The technician made sure that the pulleys were timed correctly. Just stringing the cable is possible as the arm tension can be completely loosened to the point of attaching the cables but I would only do it if I had to. In the filed on a hunt and nowhere else to go, sure. but if I had a pro to call on I would have him do it. He did say there are some details that need to be checked when retightening the bolts holding the arms. At my local Sportsman's Warehouse the archery department took the time to change out the cables for me and tune the bow. It cost me $10 for the tuning and the time in the shop. To me it was worth it.

An allen wrench to put the limbs on comes with the bow. That the only tool you need with it. The rest that comes with the bow screws on by hand, but it really isn't worth even that much effort, defiantly spring for another rest. A stringer also comes with the bow but its really low quality, much like the rest, much better off just getting a different stringer.

It's a two person job, one to compress / hold the bow back and another to slip the string over the end of the prod tips. It's easier if the one pulling the bow back has a stringing device. A cocking device with stringer and instructions is available at the " Fun Barn " Amazon store.

Any bow shop should be able to replace your string. Don't be shocked by the price $50-100. If you wax you bow string about once a month depeding on use, it will last a long, long time. You can purchase bow string wax and keep it in tip top condition.
