Portable presses

[tdcour]

I'm looking into getting a portable press for my bow. I'm tired of driving to the range to have them press it everytime and want something I can use in a pinch while hunting if needed. My biggest pet peeve is taking it an hour away for tuning when I could do it myself.

Biggest things are price and being able to use them on a variety of bows, specifically my bowtech insanity.

I can see why someone would want a pocket press for their trip. I don't have any suggestions, but I can see why you might want one for a trip. Once had a friend draw his bow back on a freezing rain day and his string rolled right off him cam.

I think Cabelas carries one that uses a ratchet strap like on tie downs. I don't know if they are any good or if they are portable enough for your needs. Just remember seeing them at one time.

This is the Portable Bow Press I leave in the truck. It does parallel and past parallel limb bows. It is pricey but you can pick them up on sale occasionally for about 20% off. Its the best Portable Bow Press I have ever used.

Doubt it for this year but looking for the future. Tired of driving an hour one way to the pro shop to have them press and twist a cable.

I have one and they work better on single limb bows, it won't work on my husband's bowtech cpxl because the limbs have too much curve. They work great otherwise though!

I am confused. I thought all bows had two limbs?

The one I listed above works great on Split limb bows.

All bows have a top and bottom limb, but some have split limbs. the single limb bows are simply one solid limb top and bottom. Look at a bowtech carbon overdrive or mathews z7 vs a bowtech insanity, rpm 360, etc.

25, the only thing I would be concerned with on that one is the preloaded past parallel limbs on my bowtech insanity. As far as I have to press mine to get the cables loose, the press may not be hanging on by a whole lot.
