Thenuge15, the reason my Patriot is hard to press (for me) is that the limbs are so parallel that they DON'T compress when using my red econo apple press.
When using a press with a traditional limb design the rollers press the limbs towards each other as you crank the riser downward. With my patriot the lack of limb angle makes compressing the limbs in my press impossible. The limbs will hit the arms of the press before the limbs compress.

THEREFORE, I'm stuck currently trying to use my apple press in conjunction with a portable ratchet press when wrenching on my PAT.

With a VFT bow drawing the limbs towards each other is the means of pressing the limbs.

I need a $80.00 WWAG press badly. But then again I need a new broadhead target, climber, binoculars, etc............
