First time trad bow questions

You can purchase off the rack with regards to the string, I presume you have a local bow shop? Get yourself a stringer such as a Selway. The shop can show you how to use it correctly. 3Rivers Archery Longbow & Recurve Bow Stringer - YouTube Stringing the Recurve Bow - YouTube
