My father has an old Bear recurve too, and I remember stringing it exactly like MrSelfDestruct described. Very well written instructions too, good job!! I've never actually used or even seen one of those stringer gadgets, either.
Also, remember to be sure you protect your eyes and face while stringing or shooting the bow, and inspect it for cracks or defects like monkeysugar said. You sure don't want that thing to explode in your face.
