I own a Sure-loc Pro X- press and stand and love it. Safest, most bow friendly machine I've ever seen. No custom fingers or other additional parts needed moving from bow to bow. Pretty sure they're not made anymore so glad I got my baby when I did.
I have an LCA Ultimate EZ press and really like it. I also can press my crossbows with it. Mine has the flywheel hand crank on the right side. I wish it were motorized, so both my hands would be free to manipulate the bow as I pressed it.
when you look at it, you kinda have to wonder why you wouldn't get away with a bench-mounted vice (with soft grips / cushioning to hold the bow in place) and a ratchet tie-down to compress the limbs.
I can't justify having a full size bow press. Much as I would love one of these, it would lie dormant most of the time, I use a Bowmaster Portable Press with the L brackets and have changed cams, inserted peeps, yoke tuned etc with it sucessfully. Like anything, you need to plan what you are doing and take your time.
I was just watching this and about to comment that I do all of my work with a bow master press. Make sure you get the newer one, the bolt is longer. If you get the old one you'll have to rig something up for the last little bit if you're tearing the bow completely apart. I used to tie paracord to the limb adapter and a ratchet strap to the paracord. I've changed strings and swapped limbs with this setup. You'll have to get scrap wood and build something to hold your bow steady. I use my bicycle repair stand. Hope this helps.
@@ElkShape exactly what I'm thinking! this thing is easy AF to build and barley need any tools to make it happen. I'm looking into getting into archery and just doing some research. And man so many things are just over priced china products.
I researched the spike press a bit. Damn, I have never read such an amount of upselling horse shit in my life. They sound like they invented the wheel or something, but yet its just the exact same solution as every other press, except for twisting the frame a bit and another style of fingers, actually easier and cheaper solution I would say. I’d say that the last chanse bow press is thousand times more value for money, even though its expensive too, since building one would cost under 100 bucks.

Just orded the bow press and a couple dozen axis shafts. Update: received the couple dozen shafts and bow press. Great service. 👍👍
I love Podium Archery on eBay. I've set up a lot of people with bows from them and always have a good experience with them.
Great video... helllo from Kent Washington...
That last chance press is a good one for the DIY guy. Somewhat affordable and its good!

Do you need to buy special fingers to press the newer Hoyt bows?
I'm sorry I do not know!
I have a last chance bow press 10/10 would recommend, easy to use and setup great tool for a beginner IMHO.

You can make anything you want for personal use and won’t have to worry about patent violations that only applies to manufacturing and or sale.
How do you think LCA got the design for this press? lol
How do you feel about bow master press? It’s portable

Definitely - Last Chance Archery
Bowmaster isn't "risky"!
