The point I want to make is that it's just as easy to design a high performance compound bow with field service capability as it is to make one that requires a bow press. Practically speaking, all it would take is using limb bolts about one inch longer. I'd happily pay increase in total bow price to cover the cost for the longer bolts. When you're talking $500 to $2000, what's another 40 cents? Just 40 cents spent to keep me from having to buy a $400 press or pay an extra 20 bucks in labor every time I need to have a new string put on.

Guys that don't want to do their own maintenance and repairs, that's fine. I want the option of doing it myself and that's what I look at when considering a new purchase.
