[QUOTE="MJB, post: 159862, member: 1222"] Hey slowflow, I have built a couple of bow presses in my time. the first one was a solid unit with arms on it kinda shaped like a big U. In the bottom beam I mounted a turnbuckle with a fabric strap to pull down on the riser...worked a treat. I left it somewhere so I ended up building another. This time it is similar to the more portable ones you can buy. Hooks that latch on to the ends of the limbs connected with a wire rope passing through a tensioning device in the middle to take up the strain. It has a 5/8 UNF thread which makes compressing my 70lb bow no problemo , will post a pic of that one tonight if you like. 100lb.... :o What are you trying to string...and english long bow? [/QUOTE]
