Default RE: bow presses

Just buying a bow press isn't as simple as it once was. With these parallel limb bows the rest or add ons have become critical. Press manufacturers have had to make add on arms to fit the new bows and add hydralic lean pumps etc etc. It is very easy to damage a bow with a press. I'd talk to the tech department of your manufacturer and ask them. If they say no, ask them what then? Take my Guardian. BOwtech wants the pressure applied to the tips of the limbs, not with the old rollers that push in the middle of the limb. Len came up with a L shaped device to slide into the apple presses to apply that pressure even and constant. Apple bought it and now makes them. IF you use the old rollers you'll eventually screw something up. Apple now retains Len as a consultant. He's designed a2 or 3 otherethings for them.
