Walks With A Gimp makes a good press for these styles of bows. PM him about one.

I have used a bowmaster press on my last 2 bows, a BowTech Patriot single cam and now a BowTech Patriot Dually. This press works great for the VFT style bows. The presses that Walks with a gimp is producing also look to be a great press for this style of bow.

Ditto on WWAG's press. Really neat design and works quite well on the VFT bows.

Bought the Bowmaster for the Patriot and have been impressed with it so far. It's not the fastest, but it does the job well.

CBM, depends if you're interested in a pro shop press or a portable.
Apple Archery has developed and added a hydrolic booster to the Super Pro Press for 2004, #0292 or #0297, designed especially for "parallel limb" bows.
This bow press isn't cheap and retails for about $415 - $425.

Another option would be a protable, WWAG, (Russ) sells his BowMender for a reasonable price and it does the job just as good, but it takes a few minutes more, a fine portable IMHO. Will last forever and will work on almost every compound bow out there!!!

I recently picked up a Ratchet-Loc bow press from Ram Products in Moscow, ID. It is along the same design as WWAG's. I wanted the portability, and with this style, if you bust a string or roll a cable off a cam, you can still press the limbs. You can't do that with a BowMaster. The price was right too at $91 inc. shipping.

Using WAG's design, I made one out of plywood, pvc and some bolts. Total cost, including ratchet straps, was about $8. It works, but is not my preference. I will grab the bowmaster first, because it's quicker and much less bulky. However, someone looking for a cheap way to make a bowpress, it's hard to beat.
