Nicely done TFOX. I wish I had those skills. My neighbor is a welder and I have an older style press here at home.

It would probably cost less than going out and buying the Apple version or an Xpress now wouldn't it?

Speaking of buying a new parallel limb bow........

Cost is MUCH less,about $450.00 less.[]


It has been pointed out to me that I MIGHT have some problems pressing some parallel bows due to the extreme angle of the posts.They might hit the limb pockets,if that is a problem,I might have to cut the post off andthen reatach at a little less angle.That really isn't that big of a deal.If you decide to do it,that might be something to look at.

Yours presses just fine without the jack but get that release ordered before we worry about that.
