Not arguing with MrSelfDestruct, as I said, I'm not an archer. I will point out that the archery shop that sold my wife her recurve said that you should always string it with the doodad (wish I could remember the name of it). Waaaaay back in the Boy Scouts, I did some archery and we always used the method described by MrSD. Never broke a bow, either.

Personally, on a bow that I got for cheap (like the recurve I have and have never strung) I would just do it like I did it way back when and like you see above. If it is something that you have emeotional attachment to, you might want to get the cord that I spoke of.

I don't think they told my wife that just to sell her the stringing device. Upselling is a good thing, but the device was extremely low-cost.
