Hello BA,
The limbs look great, and they seem to be very quick with the very heavy FOC aluminum shafts that I have hunted with in the past, with that being said I am wanting to see what a very light shaft will do. I hear great thing on the Easton Redlines, so I bought a set the other day, and plan on running them though the ringer. I will let you know more as time goes on.
So far the only thing that bothers me, is how difficult it is to sting a limb with so much curve at the tips. Any advice in this area is greatly appreciated.

Stringing hex5s

Some folks are shortening there end to end stringers, others are getting their legs wide appart to try and get the stringer off the mid part of the recurve.

The other option is a over the limb loop style stringer. This leaves the tip free to get the string on. Also make sure the bow doesnt torq, while stringing with any of these methods.
Make sure the loop is clean as they can scratch the limb when pressure is applied

Hello BA,
I have got a Bateman end to end stringer and a Limbsaver recurve stringer. I will take a look at shortening the Bateman. The limbsaver stringer would not work at all, it is made not to slide up the limb, and it is to far from the tip, it does not seem safe to me. If you belive that I should try one of the loop styles, you just hook me up with a brand name and a place to buy, and I will give one a try.
Do have a new question: how long can the 50# HEX Vs stay strung?

PM me your address and we can sort you out with a stringer

As for keeping you bow strung. My dads 62" 60# Ultra has not been unstrung in over 6 months, and it was 4 months before that . Not lost a Lb in weight.

So feel free, its not a issue with us.

What about tying some knots on your stringer?
