Flex Recurve Bow Stringer with Rubber Limb Saddles - Outlet
If you shoot a recurve bow, you know that stringing your bow correctly and safely is fundamental to the longevity of your equipment. The Flex Bow Stringer is an absolutely essential tool for every archer who cares about their bow's condition. This model features a unique design where the rubberised caps (saddles) slide onto the limbs themselves rather than just the tips. This makes the entire process more stable and eliminates the risk of slipping. The stringer cord is fully adjustable without the need for knotting, allowing you to adapt it to your bow's length in seconds. Using this tool prevents the most common damage to recurve bows: twisted limbs caused by improper manual stringing techniques. Further product information ...
Flex Recurve Bow Stringer with Rubber Limb Saddles
Why Use a Bow Stringer Instead of the "Step-Through" Method?
Many beginners try to string their bow by hooking it behind their leg. This is the fastest way to ruin a bow. Recurve bows are designed to handle tension in a single plane. As soon as you apply lateral pressure during manual stringing, the limbs can become permanently twisted (torqued), causing the bow to lose accuracy or even snap. The Flex Bow Stringer ensures that pressure is applied evenly to both limbs simultaneously and exactly along the bow's axis. Furthermore, you protect yourself – if a bow slips during manual stringing, the recoiling limb can cause serious facial injuries. With this stringer, the process is controlled, smooth, and safe.
How to Use the Flex Stringer Correctly
Installation is intuitive thanks to the clever design of the orange saddles. Here is the step-by-step guide:
- Preparation: Ensure the bowstring is correctly seated on the bottom limb tip and hanging loosely.
- Attach Saddles: Slide one rubber saddle onto the bottom limb and the other onto the top limb. It is important that the closed side of the saddle is on the outer face of the bow (the back). The saddles should sit firmly on the limb surface, not the tips.
- Guide the String: Pass the bowstring through the loop formed between the rubber saddle and the stringer cord.
- Apply Tension: Stand on the black stringer cord with both feet. Spread your feet about shoulder-width apart for better stability.
- Lift the Bow: Hold the bow handle (riser) with your left hand and the loose end of the bowstring with your right hand (if right-handed). Smoothly pull the bow upwards. The limbs will begin to bend.
- Secure the Loop: Once the limbs are bent sufficiently, you can easily slip the top bowstring loop into the nock groove on the limb tip.
- Final Check: Slowly release the tension and visually check that the string is seated perfectly in the grooves at both ends of the bow. Only then should you remove the stringer.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure this stringer serves you for years, follow a few simple rules. Do not expose it unnecessarily to long-term direct sunlight, as UV radiation can degrade the strength of the nylon cord over time. Before each use, briefly check the cord for any frays or tears. If you find any damage to the cord, do not use the stringer for safety reasons and replace it. The rubber saddles are maintenance-free; if they get muddy, simply wipe them with a damp cloth.
What to Avoid
- Never use the stringer if the cord is damaged.
- Do not use this type of stringer on compound bows (these require a bow press).
- Do not leave the stringer on a hot car dashboard.
This product makes an excellent set with bowstring wax (e.g., SKU: 3005) or a spare string for your specific bow model. Remember, proper bowstring care begins with gentle installation.
