Thinking of how many ways we do it I have managed to come up with 6; 2 types of stringers- pouch and saddle and 2 pouches, 2 pegs in the wall, step through, push-pull,and a method for longbow where you bend the bow round your back and over your shoulder. Any others?

There was the wheelchair archer version I saw, where you route the stringer around your back and push the bow forwards away from you - looks really cool. I could never do it with my own bow though, I think it's too long/my arms are too short.
