Bracing bows often (stringing Jig)
« on: July 07, 2013, 12:08:00 PM »
Some of you may already have this. My friends Darryl and Gary talked me into using this setup. The BW guys use this in their shop.

Bottom pic is upside down.
When working on bows and trying to brace heavy bows it saves the body.
The boat parts are cheap maybe $3.50 each at Wally World.
Bolt them to any vertical e surface.

That is a great idea and wouldn't stress a new bow like push/pull or step through and it is more convenient than a stringer.

They are the V roller on the front of a boat trailer.
Wal-mart has them in their boat stuff.

This is the small size, for recurves might want the next larger.

I put mine about 27 inches apart. Works for bows 68 to 54 inches long.

Roy Hall and Bob Sarrels both have similar set-ups.  It's a great idea.

To make an adjustable version the,top roller is bolted to a short length of flat metal then the other end bolted to the bench post etc. leaving the end bolted to post loose enough to pivot.

Most ALL the bowshops (back in the "pre-compound" days) used this set-up to brace and unbrace bows. ................... showing my age!   :goldtooth:
