hutchies Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Any of you guys have one of these. I am looking at buying a full sized press but really I don't need one taking up space. I will very rarely change strings, It will mostly be for Peep or string leeches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press I just bought one on sunday. I bought it for the same reasons as you leeches, dropaway rest etc. Going to use it Wed. to put in leeches and drop away cord. I can't wait to try it out.

Chrud Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press They are ok, but you would be much better off to spend the extra money on a full press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press I've been using one for a year now and I like it. A full press is better but for space saving, it fits the bill. I suggest using a 5/8 socket wrench on the bolt, makes things easier, that's for sure. Also if you use it on a Hoyt bow, if you blacktape the extra brackets up, they stay in place and you won't have accidental metal on metal contact with the cams. Hope this helps you.

[/ QUOTE ] I use mine all the time on my bows, I thought of buying a large press but Bow master will do anything I want to do. It's better to me than a full size press, I can take it any where I go plus you don't have to worry about improper pressing. All around good tool to have.

hutchies Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press Well the wife asked me what I want for Christmas and I told her a press but if the bowmaster will do what I need then there is no reason to buy a full sized.

wtnhunt Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press Seen them in catalogs, and considered getting one just in case but never have. Would sure hate to leave the bow at a shop if something happens during season, fortunately have not had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Re: Bowmaster Portable Bow Press Hutchies I used my new bowmaster yesterday and put my trophy taker cord thru the buss cable and served it in. It Works awesome and I didn't have to drive 50 miles each way to the bow shop to have it done . It'll pay for itself in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
