Default SqueezeKing Bow Press

,, for my Guardian. Need to clean up and paint and then dip the 'fingers" that pivot in a protective coating like maybe truck bedliner material.

Hah, that's awesome. How did I know something like this was coming.........lol.

WWAG, why don't you find a way to make a shoot through binary that is slaved with no cable guard.

Good idea!! Here's one of the press folded up vertically. Thinking about welding a hinge to the bottom shown here so I could fold it up and against the wall to make room on my work bench when I don't need the press.

I've just got it drilled for the correct length for the Guardian now but will be making more holes for the Commander and Constitution among others..

Just pull the pin and select another hole for a longer or shorter bow. The number 40 chain stored in the tube arms.

Russ, have you tried this stuff? It might work very well for the fingers. I use it on all kinds of things, from my treestand strap hooks to my arrow rest prongs. It is pretty durable and easily repaired if ever needed.

WWIG,

That is a really cool design, especially the fold up feature.

However, instead of all the steel framing, I wonder if a way could be figured out to mount the fingers on a pipe clamp? I think that they have enough travel to accomplish the pressing, but a lot cheaper.

I'd bet you probably could modify a pipe clamp to work as a press. It doesn't take much force to press these bows at the limb tips at all!
