can you use paracord to string a recurve in an emergency situation?

You can use anything to string an unstrung bow, even your bare hands with leverage... If you mean to use paracord as THE string, I would say yes depending on how much weight the string can bear. But if it's an emergency I would try anything honestly. If you want to test your "emergency string" I'd start slow by using a stringer to gently release the limb tension onto the paracord string. The knots you use would be the key factor I'd think. Strings can snap even with regular string, so just be careful and be ready for it. HA

Indeed you can. That's what the string it comes with is used for, as well as other uses.

No. You'd have to make something that would work. I suggest a string tether of some sort.

No it does not.An easy solution is to place a small stone in the desired grommet spot and wrap parachute cord on the outer part to create a emergency anchor .

It might not be unusable, but then it might be raining when you remove the strand, shock you, throw you off the ladder and kill you. Puncturing any electrical conductor with anything is not a particularly good idea.

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

You will need a bow restringer to remove the string which should be done after shooting to preserve the limbs and string. You can mutually break it down but you risk twisting the limbs. The limb bolts are tightened and loosened by hand. Have fun!!

Hello, No, Paracord is not a climbing rope. Check "Mountain Climbing Gear" on Amazon for other companies that sell climbing rope. Good luck!

I don`t know when I shot recurves we all shot instinctive. But if you have bolt holes on that take down for sights it will probably work. But then again with a recurve one pin should do. Sorry I think I didn't help much.

I don't know anything about a video from the vendor. But there are many videos on youtube on how to string a bow. The stepthrough method is highly effective on this one, but is a little dangerous to both the bow and the archer if done incorrectly. The safest method is to use a bow stringer. Which is a device that fits on the tips loosely, you step on the rope with your foot, and pull the middle of the bow up. Bracing it enough to slip the string in the knocks. Hit up youtube and watch both methods before deciding which you are more comfortable with.

I'm sure if you braided several equal length brands together to make a rope it would work more comfortably than one single strand; though the single strand would hold your weight at cost of comfort - which could result in a fall. Thick Knots on a single strand would be okay for climbing or lowering short distances.

I don't imagine that there would be any problem, since the straps that are intended for that purpose act like a small post at the point of contact with the elastics. However, the company makes a strap specifically designed for what you are asking about that has padding at the point of contact that is designed to relieve any harmful stress in the cords. The material that comes with the system shows how to quickly affix the strap to a post. IIRC, that strap is sold separately, but it is not expensive.R

This case is not for a recurve bow. You do not want to leave a recurve stung, so there is a long narrow case for recurves.

I recommend a whisker biscuit for recurve. This will not work at all, because a compound bow has the needed down line to pull the rest up.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

I dont think so it is for compounds. I bought the bear stick on arrow rest for my recurve, it works great.

These particular arrows are for youth type Long, recurve, or compound bows. As they include string hold type nocks, they are unsuitable for crossbows. Also, due to their size and material, they are unsuitable for any bow using more than 40 pounds of draw weight, which would make them shatter in any crossbow large enough to handle their length.
