Customer Reviews for Bowmaster™ Portable Bow Press

Bowmaster™ Portable Bow Press

Lets you easily replace strings or cables, install peep sight, or adjust draw length. The "T"-handle Jack allows easy use in the field with no additional tools required (a 5/8" hex head also permits use of a wrench or socket driver). A jackscrew allows precise adjustment. Multiple stop cable adapts to any bow length while plastic covered 3/8" rod ends fit all conventional compounds. Tough all-metal construction. NOTE: To use this press on a split limb bow, you must also have the Bowmaster Split Limb Adapter Brackets which are available separately and can be located through item search for item 38-861-783-01

"The Bowmaster works well at the shop and in the field. Hex head on "T" handle speeds up the process allowing use of a ratchet wrench. It helps if you have a way to secure your bow. It will be with me on every trip to field or range."

"A very effective product. Well engineered, easy to use. Nice to have in the Equipment bag when venturing out into the field. Used it on 2 different BOWs. Directions are clear enough. Allows you to set up a spare string without going to ProShop. I upgraded to Premium Strings with all the savings!"

"This is worth every cent. Easy to use, strong and reliable. The only thing I would say is, if your bow requires the brackets, and you purchase the leather pouch, be forewarned that it is a very tight fit. I found only one way to make everything fit. You're probably better off using a baggie."

"I bought the bowmaster last year and I never realized just how often a bow press comes in handy. I don't use one enough to justify a full sized press, but for $40 you just can't beat this thing. It is easy to use and it just plain works."
