Here's the press I build and use on all my bows. I've just built a new, longer model I call the "Limo" becaused it's a stretched out version of the original pictured here.

you guys were right, took it to another shop and they had the new limbs ordered in about 3 minutes. the owner has a centershot laser and all kinds of neet stuff. its like being in the cabela's catelog store, with the same prices +7 kinds of bows. he's going to do a complete maintenance on it also. acts like he wants my business - imagine that. larry weiss (sp?) is gonna be there this weekend doing a shooting clinic - no bow to shoot though so i won't be going. its weird not having a bow for the next week or so - i feel incomplete. took a look at the alpine glide slide, but will probably wait for them to come out with one that has a hole in it for the fall away rest cord, looks like a great idea though. this shop just picked up bowtech this year - and has already sold 67, and it's in the middle of nowhere. might change from a tt to a drop zone, or could put my bodoodle back on- ahhh choices, choices, choices... i love the off-season. small interesting thing - first shop owner to tell me something i figured out last year - i asked him if he'd tune it after replacing the limbs - he said he couldn't - that i was the only one who could tune my bow - but that he'd walk me through it - paper as a jumping off point and then group tune it. maybe i found a new home...(to be con't)

Sounds like you found a dealer that nows what he's doing, I'm really pleased with my Drop Zone and tuning was a breeze.
