Default Bow press for guardian

Does anybody know what kind of bowpress do you need for the new guardian. Can you use those "field presses"?

I see on their website they are advertising that you need no press to make adjustments on these bows.

Send a PM to Len in Maryland. I was at his shop last week and he had a Guardian on a press. I watched him break it down without issue and the press seemed to work flawlessly. I can't remember specific details, but he should be able to shed some light on the topic.

Hammy, did he make the press himself or did Len find a suitable press that was already in production?

johnnyslim,he did not make the press.He did use a press thatis already in production though.What he did was engineer a part that would adapt to a certain press he uses.Hope i was allowed to let that out.

No problem Dave. The adapterwill fitall the Apple presses and will be available very shortly. It will be 'introduced' at the ATA Show.

Also being introduced is the Apple Drawing and Tuning Tool.

Yes you can change strings without a bow press.BUT,for the shop owner who has to make many adjustmens on many different customer bows, This adapter will be a godsend by saving valuable time cranking on limb bolts all day.I know for a fact that a shop that will have tune tune as many bows as Len's shop this tool will be priceless.
