It helps to hold the rubber pad in place as you pull the limbs up for a little ways.Especially with bows that have alot of reflex.Then it will be snug and wont slip.Just make sure the pads dead centered on the limb and your pulling straight up smoothly.Thiers many other types of stringers available if someone is having trouble using the Selway,thunderhorn style rubber pad.Not a problem for me if done the way I tried to describe.
Back to the topic.Thats a really sharp bow.Love the riser!
