I’ve seen a few posts on different forums recently from new archers asking advice on how to keep twists in their bowstring when they take the string off the bow.

If you are a traditional archery shooting a one piece bow, you tend not to remove your bowstring from your bow, but if you are shooting a take down recurve, then when you take the bow down, you will remove the string. At this point it is very easy to drop the string and thereby lose the twists in it.

I know many people use a simple clip to hold them together, but I’ve always used a technique shown to me by my coach years ago. I’ve recorded this showing the technique I’ve used for years.

As always enjoy your archery. Thanks for watching.
