Who has used a bowmaster bow press

Who has used the Bowmaster Bow Press and what are your thoughts on it? I find it hard to justify a full blown bow vise just for me, are these things worth it or should I just keep paying the pro shop for labor?

I've used it on my Black Panther, and Charge. (with the split limb adapters ) It's definately handy, and you can take i with you for field repairs, tweaking if need be. haven't used it on the CK yet but that day is bound to come.
Th only bows it doesn't like are the past parallel limb type.

 

I have one and like it a lot I can do just about anything on my bow that I could with a full size press and it really come in handy when I go away on a trip and I've had occasions where it saved the day. I will be buying a full size press soon as they are faster and easier to use but the bowmaster is nice to have.

I've used mine to press numerous bows and absolutely love it. It does everything that I need it to do and if I need to do more I go to the shop. It is a great portable press.

Same here, works as advertised, A bow vise makes it eaiser to use.

 

I have one and it's very handy to have . If you just need to press a bow occasionally or on the go it is well worth the money.
If you press a bow frequently than you may want to look into a bigger press

 

I recently changed string and cable without a bow press. May not be for everyine, but worked great for me.

I have one and have used it on many of my bows, in fact, all of them I believe . A real press would be handy and much easier to use, but for the price, the Bowmaster is hard to beat.

I would be afraid to damage my cams and limbs with this method

I agree. I knew that this was the Draves video before I even opened it. It might work, but I'm not trying it on my bow.

Definitely never doing it to my bow.

used one to change string on Diamond Rock several years ago. haven't had the need to try it on my Mathews, but thought it worked pretty good. I used a couple pieces of leather to protect the bow finish from the end pieces and worked fine.

 

I have the Bowpress and keep it in my pack. I don't do home bow work on it, but have it as an insurance policy for in the field emergency bow repairs. I haven't needed it yet and hopefully never do.

 

I've used mine to set up all my bows at home. Spyder 34, Agenda 7, E35, Answer, with the split limb adapters there's little pressure on the press. They're versatile and when used with a vise they're hard to beat. Doubt I'll ever use anything else.

 

I have one. The guy that said he would buy it and the split limb adapters on AT is dragging his feet paying me. I have used it on a 2007 Bear Element, a 2013 Bowtech Assassin, and even changed the peep on my 2013 Bowtech Experience. You have to realize it's not a full press, you can't break a bow down completely, etc. But they get the job done. I recently upgraded to an EZ Green inline press and wish I bought one sooner.

 

I own one which I only use as a backup if I go backpacking for a few days bowhunting... basically incase something happens where I can fix my bow out in the field which I only had to do so once... it serves its purposes. .. other then that I use my regular press!

 

I used a ratchet press for years, but I'm happy that I bought a real press. I have a Bow Time Machine and I works great
