Recurve Bow Stringer Template

grabcad

This stringer is used in the style of the Selway Archery stringer and others. The leather pocket requires no stitching or glue for assembly; the folds in the leather and paracord hold it together. You'll need some kind of rubber for the top limb. I cut a rubber stopper in half and drilled a hole in it. Please don't attempt to use a 3D printed part for the actual stringer. It's very unlikely to be sufficiently strong, but printed templates are very useful for cutting and punching the leather. I used 1.8 mm thick leather and it works great with my 50 lbs. bow, but for even heavier bows, I suggest using saddle leather. I used hollow punches from a Harbor Freight set to punch the holes in the leather and shop shears to cut the slot between the holes for the pouch tail end.
