Probably seems stupid but I have recently gotten back into archery after several years and few back surgeries. I'm shooting a 45# Martin Sabre TD which, if I'm honest, is probably 5# too heavy for me right now but it's what I have and I can't afford to buy a new set of 40# limbs. I can comfortably shoot 50-60 arrows in session so that'll improve with more practice.
My problem is stringing the bow. I use the bow stringer but with my low back problems it's extremely painful to string and unstring the bow each time I shoot. A couple times it's been bad enough that just stringing the bow created enough pain I couldn't even shoot it.
I'm wondering if there's such thing as an inexpensive bow press that I can use to string and unstring my recurve? I'd even try building my own if someone has a DIY design. Any advice is appreciated!
