Dave, I also have the e-press with the stand. It works great for me. Don' t you use the safety strap with the unit? I wouldn' t even think about not having the safety strap around the bow when winching. I can' t see how that could have happened. My press of course is only used for myself and a few friends, so it has nowhere near the use that a proshop press has, but for what I am using it for, I' d say it is it pretty outstanding.

About the centershop laser. A guy I know who owns a proshop has one and is always asking me to centershot my bow for me. I tell him NO WAY!!! A centershot is a good starting point for tuning a bow, but that is all it is. Most bows will not achieve a maximum tume from the exact centershot of the bow. IMO, the are almost useless.
