Default Bow Presses

Which is the best bow press out there for the money? I have heard good things about the apple line up but they look $$. I have started to try and do things on my own as far as setting up and tuning my bow so i guess the next thng to get would be a bow press. I have even thought about trying to make one. I have all the necessary tools available to do it at my high school's manufacturing shop. I was thinking about biulding one for a project next year. What do you guys think would be the best design to make or even if it is a good idea or not?

These manufacturerspresses are better than Apple.
Apple used to be the best.
Not anymore.

Sonic makes a great press for the money.

OUt of the ones mentioned, that last chance press looks snazzy, but I have tried that sure lok, and didn't like it at all. Surprised it would be mentioned here.

I used my Bowmender from WWAG again yesterday on two different bows. I am really glad I got this press while I could.

I have a Last Chance EZ Press. I like it a lot.

Something to think about when buying a new press. Take into consideration what bow you currently have that the press will be used on, and also consider what type of bow you MAY be buying in the near future. Or other's people's bows you may want to attempt to press.

Some presses will not work correctly on some bows.
