What is the best way to string this bow? Do you have a bow stringer that you recommend for it?

I string it through my legs like any other recurve. But if you absolutely must do it the traditional way then go to YouTube and look up how to string a Mongolian bow. This is not a Mongolian bow but they have a similar shape.

You have to have arrows tuned to the bow. I have only seen arrows out of a box work with a bow once in my life.

The bow works great. It's tight the first few times, but it loosens. Have fun with it!

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.

Yes you do need to buy a clamp sold separately, but I have people installing the string going through the bow cable, in which case there is no need for clamp, but that looks more complicated.

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.

Get a set of GOOD strings not the ones that come with the violin. BE PATIENT it will take some time to adjust and for the stings to stretch out. It took a few weeks if constant adjustment even in the middle if practices but now it stays tuned ir close to it almost as well as my good violin.I use this one to practice in the early morning when the family is asleep it isnt silent but pretty quiet

Yes it is already stringed, but you will have to take it to a professional to have it set up to where it can play. You will see additional expense of 150.00 to get this instrument to play. I was extremely disappointed and wish I had just returned it rather than invest more. Bow? Don't know yet. Still haven't pulled it across the strings. It's been in the shop since Christmas. Rethink this selection for a beginners cello.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

Its not easy but it is possible. I highly recommend using leather gloves if you don't have the cocking device. It is an Awesome Crossbow! I've had it for about a year now. Always wax the strings when not in use! Best of luck!

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 love my bow (my first one) but shoots accurate and can't wait for turkey season to open 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.

That depends on use and care also what bow you have... properly waxed string with smooth waxed rails is the key to them lasting... standard strings are dacron D-50 but newer strings may be made from super braids or othermaterials. I have a string on a bow that is thirty years old but I don't shoot that one much that string is dacron by Ben Pearson. Crossbows are harder on strings than recurve bows. Start with Dacron since you are just beggining I assume, it is the cheapest and most plentiful. Keep the string and rails well waxed and Dacron should last a long time.
