So, since I'm no longer working for Sportsmans, I figure I should probably invest in my own press here at home.
I've used Apple's press quite a bit as well as an electronic press we got a few months back.
I've heard people argue that Apple can damage bows if you're not careful, but I've also had people swear up and down that Apple is the way to go.
If you were in my shoes, what would you buy?

If you are going to press a lot of bows it may be wise to invest in an Apple or something similar. If you are just doing your own and maybe a friends here and there, thenone of the many "ratchet strap" presses that are out there should work just fine. It would also be much cheaper.

Money... I'm sure I could talk my dad into going in half on one if it were really expensive, as he generally has me do all of the work on his bow...
How much are we talking?

i still havent really found a need to buy a press bigger than the one WWAG makes. I back out the limb bolts on my general, and can press it. I could press my liberty with it, and I can press the non parallel limb bows with it. Plus, i can EASILY throw it in the truck and take it on the road.

Can't press the General in my Apple, can't press the 82nd in my Apple or most of the parallel limb bows. I have a Bowmender for them BUT, the Bowmendor won't press the General either.
I was recommended to the X Press but whew, expensive.
Greg / MO, that pressed you pictured there, press all the bows mentioned?
