I' ve had a Bowmaster for several years and have had no bad experiences with it. However, whenever I have to use a portable press, the pucker factor is way up the scale! I can' t stand the things but, unfortunately, they' re indispensible with today' s bow designs. One of the STUPIDEST things manufacturers have done is taking away the capability of completely relaxing a bow by simply backing out the limb bolts.

I' m sure the shops love the business though.
