    Im looking for a good Quality bow press that is approved for use on new Bowtech, and Hoyt bows. Anyone have a press that they are particularly fond of?

    I really like my Last Chance Archery press. I have the less expensive EZ Green and it has pressed anything I need it to. I will add if you have a new Hoyt (like Defiant) you have to buy adapters to not void your warranty.

    x2 on the Last Chance. I just bought the EZ Green myself and you won't find a better press IMO. Simple, doesn't take a bunch of room and you can press anything. As Coop noted, there are special adapters for the new Hoyt Defiant.

    The only drawbacks with the LCA presses is the price of not only their presses, but every adapter and add on. Its pretty salty stuff. But the EZ Green is their cheapest at 400 and is awesome.

    I've got the Last Chance as well and it's awesome. I really don't see myself ever needing another press the rest of my life.

    Last Chance. I had one and sold it to buy a knock off. Now I'm kicking myself. The knock offs will work but when doing things like completely taking a bow apart for limb changes, or working on super short bows with big cam profiles I wish I still had the Last Chance. I'll prob go back to one at some point.

    Make sure when pressing your Boss to put the press fingers directly on top of the pillow blocks on the limb tips.
