Greg,
Gimme a break man I was actually getting the hands bloody last night.

I did miss your question though.

This is the most extreme parallel limb angled bow Bowtech has ever made obviously with a 53 degree pocket.
Compatible presses were an issue with a 40 degree limb pocket angle so you do the math.
As technology changes so will the equipment to work on them.
The new the Sure Loc "X" press and some others like the Apple Hydraulic will work.
Actually "Walks With a Gimp"'s "Bowmender press will work very well......that's what I have and for the $$ it's the best portable out there IMO.

It certainly won't take much pressure or travel to relax the limbs but you definitely will need the proper press. (One that presses by bringing thelimb ends together.)

So to answer your question in a nutshell I don't think you'd have a prayer of pressing a Tribute properly in an old Apple press.
