Bow stringer. The step through method should only be used as a last resort, as limb damage may occur.

always use a stringer! otherwise you could twist your limbs.

I have to say stringer. safer for the limbs. You can build your own pretty easy.

I don't even consider the step through measure a last resort. Get or make a string changer!

Guys got you going in the right way, rasbo. Always use a stringer. My friend that owns a trad shop. Screams at anyone that comes in and tries to string a bow up with the step threw method. He has seen tons of bows break from using this method.

Neither, I have two saw horses covered with carpet. I just set them at the proper spacing from each other, lay the bow accross them and push down on the handle while sliding the string to the knock. Kind of like a poor mans bow press. I do have a homemade stringer as well if I must string/unstring in the field, but the saw horses work great.
