Does anyone have trouble with the Hoyt Stringer? - Archery Forum

I find the Hoyt stringer difficult to use.

Mainly because the rubber wedge for the top limb slides down towards the riser as I lift the bow to string it.

Instead of pulling the limb tips down like other stringers, its trying to pull the middle of the limb down which increases the force required to string it.

Are others having the same issues or maybe I'm using it wrong.

Spread your feet wider apart and pull up hard! Don't be a wuss...

yeah, placing the foot on the saddle end closer to the limb tip helps stopping the "slide" a lot. I like my Hoyt stringer a lot, the only thing you have to do compared to loop-saddle one is put the stringer on first, then put the string through the loop and over the limb tip.
