Hey guys i'm new so be gentle! I often find great advice on this forum but cannot find anything for the problem I'm having. So I recently bought a longbow from eBay (I know a dumb thing to do), on paper looks and sounds great hickory, bamboo, Osage 51@28. However it will not string......either the string pops out the nock (usually the bottom) or the string just stretches when I relieve tension from the stringer so the string is flat against the belly. The nocks cannot be deepened anymore and it makes little difference so I was gonna shortern the bow (at 78inches its a little big lol), so any advice would be appreciated, I.e. how to go about shortening the bow And if I really need to retiller it once it is shortened. Sorry for the long message thanks!
