Nice economical stringer idea.If you wrap a rubber band around that bottom string loop and limb tip (or better yet, get a tip protector), you won't have to worry about that bottom loop coming off when stringing.

I am distressed!!! It’s probably been at least thirty years since I strung my full recurve glass bow. I had two, a. 40 pounder and a 50 pounder. I don’t know which this one is. By everyone else’s opinion and standards, I’m an extremely active 76 year old. I have well over two thousand square feet of gardens to maintain, live in our own home, burn wood (you know how much handling that is)... I don’t require any meds, and my doc is very happy that I’ve kept my weight under control... and yet I no longer have enough upper body strength to string my bow using this stringer. I used to be able to do this in my sleep, over my leg, no stringer. I’m hoping the issue is just that the glass has become very inflexible over time. Will have to visit a pro shop for some advice.

Nice stringer. Had a talk with Mitch Native Survival about a truly silencing system, versus rubber octopus or leather fur fuzzies. Now I can put this down in comments. (1) Paracord. Pull out the threads at one end of the cord. Interweave with the bow string loop, (and yes with manipulation) pull the bow string through the paracord sheathing. Cut sheathing to length so that it is held under the bow string loop and bow wood, and down almost to the nock. Lash the sheathing at the bow nock and arrow nock. Do the same for the lower string. When the string is released, the snap reverberates across the entire string's harmonics. But it vibrates against the semi-loose paracord sheathing and you get a silenced bow snap. If need be, unlash the bow string loops and thread through the sheathing, and then lash up the sheathing and the bow loops. (2) Saw a JoAnn Fabrics product of very loose plastic mesh tubing that could also do this process, and easier to pull bow string loop through. www.joann.com/search?q=tubing#q=tubing&prefn1=prod_type&sz=54&start=54&prefv1=Product Fab Lab mesh tubing. Black or light green color, plastic meshing that can also be camo painted, but this is ~1 1/2 - 2x larger than paracord. Can pull the bow string loop through easier. Being of a looser mesh, it would take any noise with its cross weaving and stop any bow string snap with utter silence. Both items have the potential of being non-grabby in brush and thickets, making travel easier and more quiet for stalk hunting. Just some thoughts.

+John Lord Hmmm...some interesting ideas there. I know speed would suffer with these, because any weight or wind resistance will, but I wonder if it would be the same speed loss as with traditional silencers. Have you tried these methods, or are these thoughts/theories? I am curious if you have had good results with it.
@johnlord8337

+RevHiker I haven't done the perfect live bang-and-twang with an arrow, distance, and speed, but have lashed a paracord sheath "onto" (not threaded through) the upper and lower strings with a (no-no) dry snap and it was defiinitely quieter. Everything is relative. Bow string tension, brace height, bow lengths, and bow string draw lengths with conventional bow, recurve bow, long bow, complex bow, crossbow, ... all influence the high speed,, maybe more distance, large snap, ... or low speed, less distance, quieter snap. I believe that this technique can be parts of each of these bows for high or low speed, longer or lesser distance, -and- high or low bow string snap noise. It just needs to be tweaked for ultimate proficiency.

?Length of paracord? Your bow length and your height will make a difference. My 40 lb. BRADD NEW SAMICK SAGE took about 87-88 inches of 550 paracord. But I'm only 5' 7" and shrinking. My Small loop is about 1 1/2" folded double and the Large is 5" folded double. Just a guess but make the small loop 1st, connect to bow, held in place with a rubber band, lay stringer out on floor, stand on it with both feet spread a bit, holding bow at a comfortable height and determine how much length you need to complete the stringer and large loop. Add a little extra, temporarily tie it and check before finalizing. Once you have the best length for you and your bow, maybe tie a knot at the center for reference. .

I'd be a liitle scared to use this: I've seen commercial stringers with a saddle-type top loop (Saunders etc.) where the supposedly non-slip rubber on the limb slips off and slides towards the tip. It's really a problem when it's wet/raining. The top limb comes right towards the face at high speed.
@ahvala7

It should be as good or better as the loops will self center the pull. Just make sure your knots can't come loose. I might even superglue my knots after gradually testing them. Maybe lookup knot tying for extra safety.

That's why he put both feet on the stringer a bit apart, right foot on the center left foot part way up towards the top end. The left foot keeps the large loop from sliding to far down.
