thanks everyone. yes dwardo string was off i only strung it for the pic and hadn't checked it. i didnt shoot it like that tho thank god. i wish timber yards would stock it i would love to get my hands on some more its great stuff.
cheers for the tip i will try that one. with this bow i have started to use a bow stringer and am well happy i have its so much easier. the last recurve i made used to be a nightmare to string wothout one.
