Yeah, for the few times a year that most guys need to press a bow, it's pretty easy to either drive down to a shop, or use a limb mounted press. Really better to get a proper press.
Square tubing/Telespar, sacrificial large C clamp or pipe clamp, and some "melt & dip" tool wrap and a guy can get into an "EZ knockoff" for much much cheaper, around $150 in materials and a case of beer for the blacksmith if you're not so handy with a welder yourself.
