Anyone built a bow press?
 

I need a bow press but they are a little pricey. Just wondering if anyone has tried to make one or has a link to some plans? I don't have access to welding equipment but otherwise am pretty handy.
thanks

I saw one somewhere that was really easy to make using two wratchet straps and a couple boards. cant remember where I found it. Ill look and see what I can find.

Walks with a gimp makes his own presses. Or you could look at a Bowmaster portable or the Ratchet-loc press.

I have the Bowmender press made by WWAG best portable press I have ever used.

It fits neatly behind the seat of my truck for when I am off hunting or 3d.

Here is my 03 Patriot Dualie in it.

WWAG's press looks like it might be the best option for the new Bowtech Tribute. ;)

There is an interesting one that is built onto a table. It looks cheap & simple.

Sorry to inform you, but WWAG does not make his BowMender anymore due to lack of time...

I've had my Tribute in the Bowmender™ press and it works great as does the Sure Loc X-Press.

Borealboy, here is a link that has what you need.

in menu on left, page down to PROJECTS TO BUILD, look for hydralic bow press (NOT BUILD YOUR OWN BOWPRESS)
