RE: Bowmaster press
Be careful about backing the limb bolts out any more than three turns; I'm not at home right now (so I don't have access to my owner's manual), but I'm pretty sure that's getting close to the limit you can back them out. Just be sure to check it out before you do...
You can't go wrong with a Bowmender... I know it's what several of us BowTech guys use on our own rigs.
