Static Tip Recurve Questions?

Matt, I watched you string that static tip and noticed you were very careful to have everything aligned properly when you started lifting. I got just a bit too anxious to string mine up when I got it home and saw the top limb tip start to twist a bit. I was using a Webster dual cup stringer. I backed off, got everything straight and it went fine. Since then, I've been more comfortable with the cup and block type.

Thanks for posting the video and I also appreciate the advice to make sure the string is centered on the nock before drawing. I'll double check that every time.

I was cup and block user until my Saluki. Those Siyas are big time difficult to string with a cup and block. So, I tried the double cup. That worked best for those crazy limbs.

"Regular" Static Tips are doable with Block and Cup, no worries.

Here is the main issue for me: Double Handed Grip.

Double Handed Grip at the Start of stinging and the hop hand to single hand. Unstringing Single hand to get the string loop off and then Double Hand on the Let Down..

And, take your time!
