RE: Bow Presses
I'm sure building your own would work ok. But some of the new bows like the BT Guardianshould be pressed out at the limb tips. And if you work on a wide variety of bows, changing the press pocket and limb points can get to be a hassle.
I want something simple to use and easy to change around quickly. I had my eye on a Sure-Loc X-press the last year or two,but wasn't quite sold on it. I played with the Last Chance press for quite a while at Vegas. I was very impressed. It was better in person than I thought it would be. Also has a floor stand with a pivot option so you can tilt the bow upright. NICE. The owners mentioned that several of the bow manufacturers have purchased them for their own development shops. I haven't seen anything better, and it is such a simple idea.
I'm pissed I didn't think of it....[:@]
