Bateman Bow Stringer

bateman bow stringer

works great

Shipping was fast and order handled very well. Product is made very well. The problem I had was that the Stringer could not handle my long tipped Howard Hill longbows. The string cup would slip off the end of the bow every time before I could string the bow. Shorter tipped bows probably wouldn't have this problem. My Hill bow's tip is one inch long for reference. I have 4 Hill longbows.

Did my homework, but...

I bought this as a replacement for my old bow stringer, paying attention to the pocket sizes as that seems to be an issue with this type of stringer. I just prefer the pockets to the other options available. I have two problems with this stringer. First, it is at least six inches shorter than my old one. On my new 68" bow, it is noticeably low to step on. Second, the pockets fit but the flap on the small pocket (where the string exits) covers the string groove, interfering with sliding the string into place.
