Just because I’m a friend, the Spikes press and draw board is only about $2100. It’s really a good deal if you think about it…

Hmm...last I had looked, SpikePress's website wasn't listing them for sale. Looks like they are up and running again.

But $2100...yikes.

Now I'm feeling good about the $1300 Specialty Archery Pro Press I've been eyeing. lol.

I think the total vise bow press you posted is a great all inclusive deal, but they went away from the spring fingers which I thought was a big highlight of their system.

I'm impressed by what I see in the SniperArchery of Spain (https://www.sniperarchery.com/en/shop) bow press system. It really looks great, but I think it was a few hundred bucks just to ship to USA and what if there's an issue?

I could make do with LCA presses but probably want one that is a little more versatile than the EZ Green...but I still looked at the deal with a lot of interest. Then I saw...

Cold feet @thedutchtouch? Put these on and get all those bow components on order now, before season is too close, lol.

Just ordered some BE Rampages yesterday. Ethics is having a July 4th sale so I’ll be getting some components this weekend too

If you’ve never ordered arrows from south shore archery before I’d highly recommend giving Jerry a call

Enjoy the process man!

You'll never regret having your own bow press. I bought an EZ a few years ago as a local shop was closing down. It's awesome working on your own stuff and not having to take it to a shop. It is really nice to be able to buy a used bow at a steal and set it up yourself :grinning:
The draw board I set up is exactly like you described, a winch and iron pipe/flange works great.
 
Alrighty I just got home and attached the vice to some "temporary" (that may become long term) 2x6 scraps for a base and put the bow in the vise for the first time. Looks like this will work nicely. Too tired after a fun but not very restful weekend to do much tonight, so I'm not going to even take the tags off or try to serve anything in yet but I cranked it down to take tension off the string once before taking it out and finally took a photo. Please ignore various kid stuff on table/floor behind lol.

This fits right on the EZ Green press?

Yes.
I too just got an Omnia and a press and draw board because I didn't want to drive 40 mins and pay to adjust every little thing!
It was worth it! The shop i got mine from was the smallest bow shop in the twin ports but didn't have a range. They said they got it set up, but I found it wasn't timed right and needed several other adjustments. Now I can also fix and change stuff on my old bow.
 
I’m not sure if that’s the exact one but there are a ton of those wheels. I think the LCA is a 7” wheel.

After one night of use I can understand why the entire internet seems to like these hand wheels. The crank works fine but it's a lot of cranking (mainly to get the press open to the right spot/put the bow in). Once it's in there, it's somewhat nice for a newbie like me to be able to press it super slowly, though I suppose a wheel is easy to go slow as well. Arrows first, wheel later for me
 
If you buy a hand wheel, let us know what one you got. But, you can connect a drill too. Good luck and let me know what you think of the Canyon Pounder too.

Looks like you weren't scurred of the past parallel and didn't spend (pointless?) money like I did on the limb lock fingers/kit. Oh well the limb lock setup seem to work well, though the foam rollers want to occupy the same space as the limb dampeners so I have to slide them out of the way when pressing the bow.

Yes, the regular fingers are plenty. And if you're worried, just have carpet or a mat on the floor so if it does drop it'll hit a softer surface. ;)
