Recently tried using the alibow stringer. I Couldnt for the life of me even string a 45 lb bow with it, let alone the 70lb manchu. At least not with this method of putting the string under both of your feet, as it requires you to pull up with your lower back. Manchu stringing method feels the safest so far, especially for heavier bows. I think these types of stringers work better in the sitting position, with the string around your waist, and pushing the bow away with your legs.
Right as I need this. A couple of hours before your upload I searched through your whole channel for a video like this 😂 The best thing about these stringers is that you can easily make them yourself. I made mine out of paracord and might weave one in the future.
One cautionary note. Some Korean bows still have birch bark lining the back of the limbs. Having the stringer moving along the limbs, as it does with the first bow, could damage the bark. One other note. Having the string loose during the stringing process might cause you to lose a turn or two of your string twist. Just two things to consider when using this method of stringing your bow.
There is one more trick to string bows with siyhas. Using the step thru method but using a belt or the bow sleeve and tie it to your leg. Put the lower limb in that and it avoid twisting. The limb is than free to adjust it angle itself but is hold on the leg because of the belt, string or sleeve. I had the problem, that the limb is not a friend of my calf, so I´d try to avoid direct contact this way and turns out it is much better to handle. The weakest bow I own has 50 pounds, so it is also for heavier bows an option to consider.
Well done! I've modified several of the modern cord stringers to work also. The various longbow/recurve pockets on one end and rubber blocks on the other can work with some hacks. I made one with two rubber blocks that is less likely to slide/twist/torque than the two-loop strap version.
great instructions Armin, I'm still not able to string a bow, but I hope soon. The arm is getting better every week. I will be trying all those steps to see what I can master. Thank You! i i
very important to protect the limbs, with my 68" target recurve or my 62" 3d recurve, i always use the stringer (the same from avalon), it's safer ps: super Kirchbaum !
Coming back to basics from time to time never gets old, it's good to keep these things in mind. Practical and helpful as always. Thumbs up. :) Funny thing was, I have the 'Why do laminated bows break' (Armin Hirmer) video in my queue list right next to the upper-right of this video... with the same thumbnail as this one XD Talking about karma, eh? :) Cause & effect for sure lol
Need to find a way to string such bows without using my legs due my handicap. Tried to use such a belt, but didn't work out well. Do you happen to have some idea what might work in this case?

Thank you Armin!! Looks like a lovely Summer day in your corner of the world. Enjoy.

hehe yeah but they the cherries are all frozen, so no Kirschen this year ;(
I must be a short ass, my wife laughs at me stringing my bows. I must admit it's not the prettiest sight 🤷🏻♂️
Excellent video as always 🙏

Hi there, a basic question: how often do you replace a string? Or does it depend on any obvious signs of wear?
Depends on wear and tear
@@ArminHirmer So, what are the signs?
Length depends a bit on the bows you are stringing. The average one is around 210-230 cms
Sorry but how can I buy it the asiatic bow
