To String.—Hold the bow in the centre by either hand (whichever is more suitable to the archer), place the end on which the string is made a fixture in the hollow of the foot (not resting the bow on the ground), then pull strongly with the hand holding the centre of bow and press the string forward with the other until it reaches the nock made for it in the horn tip.

To Unstring.—The same attitude to be observed as when stringing, only pulling with the one hand and pressing with the other, so as to slacken the string, which should then be slipped out of the nock by the forefinger.

When the shooting is over, the bow should be unstrung. The bow must not be left or kept in a damp situation, and when not in use should always be kept in a bag.
