Adjust the stringer too where it will just let the ends slide over your limbs.

When I put the string on at the beginning of the year I have to lenghen the stringer. If I am just changing the string or doing some string maintenance, I shorten the string.

I also had to adjust my stringer right out of the box.

Did you hook the string with the cocking aid and wrap it around the grove just behind the safety?

Sounds like you aren't getting the leverage benefit. I have never used the crankeroo.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.
