I think I could build one pretty easily as well - but there is one called the "Limbbender" that is only $75. Shipping might cost you another $50 or so. But for that price, it is not worth my time to fabricate.

If you look around AT there's morepress designsposted over there. I'm in the middle of building my second one right now. If you've got access to the right tools and a little scrap metal, they are easy and cheap to build.

You can just use ratchet straps, they have setups that use them, and I know a guy that had to do some work on his bow and he used ratchet straps. They didnt seem to hurt his bow at all.

I live in the UK too , although not for my sins [:@]. cuz i love it here . But i'm having the same problem with a bow press for an X-Force DS , do i build one or do i buy one ? ..... might try building first . the omnipress looks like a good design .
