fasteddie Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I bought one of these presses and had only used it once . I had a new string put on my bow a few months ago and the peep had rotated slightly . I had compensated for that but it finally got to be a nuisance so I broke out the Portable Bow Press . Backed the limb bolts out 4 turns each , applied the press , rotated the string 1/2 turn , removed press and tightened limb bolts 4 turns each . Simple to use and it corrected my problem .

burmjohn Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Seems easy enough... I'd like to have the one the bow shop has, seems so nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 That's the one thing I really miss about the old compounds with the steel cables that had the "double tear-drop" fittings. All you had to have was an old spare string to remove and manipulate the bowstring. A 30 second job. I was always able to completely strip any bow down into it's individual parts or re-assemble it with just an extra long bow string.

I had one that was a complete tear-down that converted an old PSE Citation from one with hunting limbs to target limbs along with a complete paint job. So I pretty much had two bows in one. Never needed a bow press at all on that job either. That's not one of the 11 because I sold that one along with the hunting limbs. A guy made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. It's one of the few that I ever sold. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
