Default Which Bows Do Not Require a press??

I was talking to a neighbor last night and pressing bows came up. I thought the General did not need a press, but now I am hearing it does.
Which bows definately do not require a press?

The General DEFINATELY needs a press.

The Guardian does not. The new line of 09 bows such as the Admiral will not need a press for most applications.

Not sure of other brands.

Martin bows supposedly do not need a press. I took one apart & back together... unless I missed something, it wasn't THAT easy to do with out a press. Doable without one-yes, easier with a press-yes.

General does need a press

Commander and Guardian does not. That was a huge selling point for me. Can't believe bowtech took that away.

Its fairly appearant to me he is referring to compounds. It would be rather silly for him to press a recurve.

The new line, at least the Admiral for sure does not need a press for most applications.

All of the BowTech& Diamond Center Pivot bows offer this feature this year. These include the Admiral, Captain, Sentinel and the Diamond IceMan.
