okiedog Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 This is my 1st post with a pic, please bear with me. Here is a picture of a bowpress me and a buddy built. I don't think it turned out too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress Looks good. Only thing I see that I would have changed it that the 2 rollers in the middle can't be moved for different risers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress Looks good. Try to find some teflon rollers for your outside rollers. They will last longer and will not get flat spots after years of use. Be careful and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress oh but they can. They are welder onto a collar that slides back and forth on the top bar. Have a T style bolt on the back side to clamp them in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okiedog Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress Thanks Hutchies, I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. I've already pressed 6 different bows in it, and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okiedog Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress [ QUOTE ] How much you have in that press? Steve [/ QUOTE ] I've got right at $150.00 in it. Would have been cheaper, but the cost of metal made it higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fishermanwhohunts Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Built a Bowpress That's a good press but wouldn't using it void the warranty on your bow just because you made it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
