Default 1st repair with a press.

I put my Bowmender press to work today. This is the first time I used it when I wasn't just fooling around. I had to replace my cable due to a BH created nick. Dumb a$$ that I am I somehow nicked it while getting in stand yesterday. Well I kept my old string and cable for emergencies and sure enough I needed it. I am so glad that I bought that press. What a great feeling to be able to make my own repairs. After replacing the cable I installed a new cord for my drop away rest and served it in. I will shoot tomorrow and fine tune. I had to hunt with my ML today but now I can put it away to collect more dust. I am rather proud of my efforts and look forward to doing more of my own work. I really like the guys at the pro shop I use but this is just so much more rewarding. Sorry about being so long, just wanted to share my sense of accomplishment.
