Put the plastic clips on the ends first. Loop one end and then we placed that end on the floor and held it down by stepping on the tip. We then had same person slightly bend the other end, it IS a flexible metal, and I looped it on the final clip. It was hard, but it can be done.

Actually you just have to be strong enough to do it. One person to hold it and place the string, and another to bend the bow.

Place string on one end of bow, place that end in-between a door and the frame, now with both hands force the bow to bend and place the string on the other end, release bow slowly. Note the bow is attached to the gun before doing this

It's hard but I did it myself. You put one end with the string on against the floor then lean on and bend the other end pulling the string around when close enough. Too hard to explain they have videos on YouTube just watch one you will get it

I had a very hard time as well. It took 3 grown men to do this. I suggest looking on YouTube on how to string the crossbow. It was very helpful, but like I said, you will need 3 to do this

try fitting the tube on the better if its the plastic piece sliding off then i would super glue like i did. im using the strongest tubing i could find. make sure you let your sling bow sit for a whole day before you try and shoot an arrow out (let it dry) of it once you get your tubing on and to stay on. they ork great they shoot hard and very well.

Pulll nylon string towards the back of the crossbow and put it in groove above the trigger - place the arrow in groove on top of the crossbow then pull the trigger but be careful it shoots pretty hard

You have 4 ropes. Tie a knot up higher / above the others (the ones melted shut). Until you get it level.

Why do you need a video? Brace one limb against the outside of your left foot, bend the bow around your right thigh, pull the upper limb to your left with your right hand, and string the bow! It's easier than tying your shoe laces.

I believe it has to be restrung though to use it correctly. My leftie son has been using this for 2 months as it came strung. He can shoot it that way but it has destroyed his arrows. We didn't realize it until we got some real feather arrows and then we realized that the propelling string is on the wrong side for shooting left handed and will tear the feathers apart on the new arrows. I believe it can simply be solved by restringing it the opposite way.

EliteBogenMuenchen on youtube has a short and simple video making it very easy to understand how it is done. I'll only add the note that while doing as the video shows be sure to keep the bow from flexing either left or right. Make sure it is a even and strait when flexing the bow.

Hello,I haven't seen that video. What can suggest, look for some of them on Youtube (a lot of videos how to use recurve bows). Buffalo is not my first recurve mongolian bow and is harder to string than for example Samick's but it's not impossible. Do it slowly and carefully, like every recurve bow can be easy damaged by uneven stringing ends or by rotating limbs. Good luck.some links:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gak6iSjF52whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Y3IprEdFU

I received a rope cocking device in with the packaging. It is just about impossible to pull the bow string with your hands. But it is 100x easier with the rope cocking tool.

Did not have this problem yet. Have a problem with the strings always breaking. I guess wood glue could do it.

Hi. I made the baby blanket and also found the weaving tool too short. I made a homemade tool from a wire hanger. A thinner-wired hanger is easier to work with. With cutters I snipped the upper arm of the hanger about an inch from the bend. That will be the hook end. The other side I cut a few inches farther up the other upper arm. You bend that part into a handle. Throw the hanger section away. Shape the hook end with pliers. I had to file the cut end to smooth it down. Shape the handle with pliers making it comfortable for you to turn the hook flat to pass through the warp yarn, then to turn it up to go between the pegs to pick up the weft yarn. That's up to you. I wrapped the handle with tape to cushion it a bit. Hope this helps. I can send you pictures of the blanket but I can't figure out how to do it.

I am unable to answer since I had to throw my son's crossbow away. It broke shortly after receiving it so Amazon sent a new one, which also broke, in the same place. The point where the tip meets the string kept snapping. It's a great looking bow and we were disappointing it kept breaking.

I can't honestly answer this question. What I will say is that this bow is 5' tall unstrung and almost exactly your height strung. My intuition says that it's not the correct size but I'm not an expert. I would suggest going to your local sporting goods store and asking.

Not sure if I can explain how to put it on but Dicks Sporting Goods or Bass Pro Shops or something like that can install the sight , arrow rest and can also adjust the draw weight fairly cheap. As for as sighting it in adjust your two pins with the red dots the way your arrows are grouping. If they are high and to the right move your pins up and to the right. . If your arrows are grouping low and to the left move your pins down and to the left. Move the two pins the way the arrows are grouping. Took me a few hours to get it real close.

I occasionally play an upright bass with a bow, although never yet with this bass. But I don't see why it couldn't be bowed...the set up is completely familiar.

It depends on the 12 year old. Ours was on the weaker side. Small, not to active. When we got this he couldn't pull the string even though it is pretty weak. It took about a year before he had the ability to do so, but now he enjoys it. If you are concerned, go with a traditional short-bow. It is far easier to draw than the compound.
