will this press work for traditional and parallel limb designs?

RE: The Bowmender press lives again!!
 

Absolutely. It's ESPECIALLY great on the parallel designs; that's why just about every Bowtech staffer I know has one. :)

What is the wait on one of these presses?

I'm thinking it must be a long wait. I e-mailed him last week on payment details and have not received a response yet. Must be pretty busy . . . . .

I think he's on a hunting trip right now... Just happened to see this thread brought back up to the top and remembered him saying something about that last week, so I figured I'd let you know that Roscoe.

I'm new to archery and have already grown tired of having to be dependent upon my shop...so I think having a press would be great. Certainly one couldn't argue the price of this unit. But for those that use one I'm wondering how tough it is to get fingers in around the cams? It looks like that could be a little tough and that some contorsionniste skills would behelpful with this unit. Can anyone comment? Maybe I'm all wrong. This isn't a bash at all...100% sincere question as I could be very happy with the price of this unit -Thanks - Randy

It a wee bit tight when trying to route a string around a cam if you're replacing one, or needing to put a twist into it for peep alignment or something of that nature... but, as you mentioned -- for the price, convenience, and portability (I carried mine along to Colorado on my elk trip), I think it's well worth the minor inconvenience.

Plus, I've found that 99% of the time I use it, it's just so that I can relax the strings to install a peep or insert some serving material before re-serving.

I had a reply from him waiting in my inbox today. Hope to get one shipped after he gets back from the hunting trip.

Mine came today;) but can't get time to look at it yet:(.

Here's a picture of a Switchback in one from last fall. The Switchback needed some work, notice the Trykon and Allegiance that didn't need any work.;)[8D]
