OK, so it's unanimous then - from the top or the bottom!
I was trying to figure out how to do it from the bottom and have that now. I've always done it from the top as Stump does with the Selway. I'm not sure what the difference is, top or bottom, but the instructions from Zipper and Fred Asbell got me thinking on the variations.
Thanks for all the responses.

No, its not unanimous! There is actually another way to do it!
I twist both ends of the string an equal number of twists. Why? My nock point doesn't move as much.
At least I think it doesn't. I've been doing it that way for 20 years, so I can't remember just how much my nock point moved before.

I like to take my string off,loop top over pin in door hinge and twist from the bottom. Run my wax over the string and burnish with a piece of leather.

I do it like Tall Paul. I un-string the bow, slide the top loop down the limb. Remove the string from the bottom nock. Then I twist above the for the top of the string, then hold the serving and twist from the bottom loop the same number of turns. It just seems to make sense to me.

Like many others I slide the top loop down the limb and then take the bottom loop off and twist from the bottom.

Son of of gun! I've learned another thing on Trad Gang!
I like stringers that have pockets on both ends. For this reason I always take the bottom loop off the limb and change string twists to adjust brace height, like many above.
The thing I've learned (duh) here the advantage of the stringer types that have one pocket and a rubber or leather pad that fits below the top limb tip when stringing. I now realize that stringer can be used when one wants to take the string off the top limb so one can twist from the top!
I've never liked those single loop stringers because they are more difficult for me to string and unstring with -- not enough leverage I suppose? Now I see their advantage.
Thanks!
