bow press
how many have them ... how many want one... I saw in the classifieds a guy selling an xpess for 200 the jack part is broke he said, cant see that being to hard to fix... its not bad press.... I find the last chance one faster to use but some bows you need an adapter cause the limbs have quite the curl to them....

I have a lca press with the adapters for the highly pre-loaded limbs. It wasn't cheap once the smoke cleared, but there is not a bow out there that I can't work on safely with 100% confidence that I'm not going to wreck something. I do the vast majority of my own bow work, but from time to time will consult Lawrence on some of the more technical or obscure jobs.

Built my own . Would never go back to the days of not doing all my own bow stuff

bow press
I have had one for a while and really appreciate being able to do small adjustments. Mine will not press the newer bows without the adjusters which are another $200.
If you are looking, make sure it does what you need it to do. Garry |
Normand did you get the draw board for it as well ... no there not cheap... I plan on making a draw board for my lca press which will make it even easier to set up a bow ...

The lca models are a lot of dollars! You can make something that works well for pretty cheap. Norm |

When I still bow hunted, I carried a portable bow press, just in case the string broke/ bumped with boardhead, still have it

Got a last chance easy press deluxe. Wouldn't go without one now.
Built my own draw board and arrow saw. I was going to make a draw board for my LCA, but trying to find a small winch likes LCA's is impossible. My big boat winch would be pretty gaudy on my press. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Are you looking for a picture of the press or my homemade draw board?

My drawboard is separate from the press.

ok thanks anyway... I will have too make my own design..

Go on archery talk and do a search. There are already people doing what you want to do. One guy on there builds them for like half the price from lca. You might be able to source a winch from someone on there.

I did a search there last night and found it.
http://www.archerydezign.com is the website. Looks like he's charging $150usd for his system. Looks pretty nice, but I'm sure there is a cheaper solution out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
i saw that too looks good but I think I will just have to come up with something my self ... I did a search on archery talk but 99% of them are a board and boat winch which is fine I just don't have the room for that ... I think I will just take a part a ratchet strap and use some para cord...

The ratchet straps are sketchy coming down from full draw to get a slow let down. Careful not to dry fire your bow.
