Shane Great Plains Bow company And today we wanted to show you our bowstringer. This is made out of aluminum square tubing. It's got a quarter inch sidewall. It's got our logo right here, Great Plains. And it's held together with this hitch pin, which actually doubles when it goes in the quick hitch. So I'll show you how it works here. So we just release this, pull the pin. There we go. These pegs, they're actually made out of solid aluminum shafts and they're threaded. So if you care to put longer ones on or shorter or customize them, we can do that in the future. And then, of course, they're wrapped with this rubber sleeve. So it's real gentle on your bows. Finish. You can put it this way. You can go this way. This way. Just. However, if you're worried about losing control of your bow and blowing out your back window, here's a recurve bow. We'll try it on this first. This is set at 24 inches between the baits. The 24 inch works for almost all any type of length of bow. So this goes just like this. And then you just pull, put that leverage on there. It's really, really simple. This is actually a 55 pound bow. And it's pretty much effortless. You've got enough control where you can get that string perfectly in the groove before you let go. And that's pretty much it. That's easy. So I'll string up a longbow for you. This is our reflex deflex longbow. Same thing here. Make sure your string is in your string nocks real nice. Right in your handle. Now this is a really long boat. This is 66 inches. And you can see it still has plenty of leverage for a bow this long. So, same thing. Bend it back and I mean, it's super easy. It's just really simple to control. There you are. I'll unstring this and then I'll unstring the recurve. And then I'll show you how it comes back apart. Now I just leave the string on this. That perfect. Now to take it back down. And I didn't mention before, but the whole thing only weighs nine pounds, so it's very lightweight. But it's incredibly strong because you got that quarter inch sidewall. So to take it back apart, this pin is actually spring loaded. That's in the locked position, that's in the unlocked position. Take that out and then it just goes together just like this. This side is actually grooved out so you can run the handle of the pin either, you know, up or down. Locked over £9. I know. Originally I had posted these for around $375. That's a really good price for what you're getting. Will never rust. The whole thing is solid alum, incredibly strong with quarter inch sidewall. And it's lightweight. So we'll have one that goes into the ground, like at a club where you can put a stake in the ground and use it off the ground and dirt. And then also one that you can use on concrete. But that's it. That's the tow hit stringer. Solid aluminum from Great Plains Bow company.
