Bowmaster press

RE: Bowmaster press
Why no, just curious. There is no pressure being applied to the riser and the ends go right into the limb forks, therefore the applied force will be pulling near the cams. By the way, I don't own a binary cam bow but have used the Bowmaster on my Patriot.

RE: Bowmaster press
I've used a Bowmaster on almost every bow made, or at least types of bows. Normally I don't shoot heavy weight so don't back off the limb bolts, but it wouldn't hurt to back them out about 3 turns first. You'll never know till ya try!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Bowmaster press
Be careful about backing the limb bolts out any more than three turns; I'm not at home right now (so I don't have access to my owner's manual), but I'm pretty sure that's getting close to the limit you can back them out. Just be sure to check it out before you do...
You can't go wrong with a Bowmender... I know it's what several of us BowTech guys use on our own rigs.

RE: Bowmaster press
Thanks for the info. I don't want to take any risk with someone elses bow. Better to ask first. I did talk to Russ about a bowmender press, I will be ordering one , looks like a geat setup. Greg/Mo I do not have any technical data. I was horrified to see some of the tech's in this area press bows with out backing off the bolts.

RE: Bowmaster press
I've useda friend'sBowmaster press on my Patriotnumerous timeswithout any problems, and I didn't let the limbs down any. Why would it be any different than pulling the bow back and holding it for a few minutes? The tension is applied at the limb tipsnext tothe cams. If someone hasmanufacturer'sinfo saying not to do it, I'd like to know because I just bought one to use on my Patriot.
