Default Pressing a new bow bends the riser???

I shot my new HCA 4-Runner through paper twice. I liked the hole, so I put the bow on my press to install a peep. When I prepared to shoot again, I noticed that the shaft was at a severe angle toward the bow. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the grip was cracked. Then, I figured it out...the riser was bent. I sent the bow back and they repaired it. I'm a burned out shooter who is getting back in. I'm using my "old" press that worked well before: a rope is attached over the center of the grip. Is this press setup ok for these new bows, or am I supposed to use something else? I want to preload the limbs, but I'm afraid to put the darn thing back onto the press!
