Quote from: captpete on June 02, 2019, 10:11:41 AM I started shooting in 1987. I used to really be into it, but I have lost some interest. I've gone from owning 5 bows to just 2. My newest bow is a '16 Darton DS3800. I also have an '08 Bowtech Guardian, which I actually prefer over the Darton. It's not fast compared to most bows today, but it is the smoothest drawing, easiest holding and dead quiet/no shock bow I have shot. I got tired of driving 50- 60 miles to have work done on a bow so I learned how to do it myself. Now, I have a press and a lot of other tool to work bows. For awhile I use to work on bows for 8-10 other people. Now I just work on mine and help 2 buddies work on theirs. They do the work, I just provide the tools and a little knowledge. I also build my own arrows. I use to just cut them, glue the inserts and throw vanes on in one day, then go shoot them the next day. Now it takes me about week to build a dozen arrows.

I was heading the way of buying an apple press and all the implements myself and then my car accident happened and so many things were lost for so long (Because of my body, not misplaced) now I would like to get back into it but am not sure I can handle doing it all because the one thing other than picnic benches that gets my back going inside of a minute is standing and you have to be able to stand to run those presses with the stands they come on. I would love to try it but lot of money to spend and then just have sitting around. I do still have my JoJan Multi-Fletch Jig and enjoy doing vanes and wrapping arrows when I get in the mood. I think I will be doing some for a friend soon that just took up archery so it will be fun teaching him how to do that.

I think I will be doing some for a friend soon that just took up archery so it will be fun teaching him how to do that.I have a LCA EZ Green Press. It has short legs...mine are about 8". I use 2 C-clamps to hold it on an old kitchen table in the basement. If I wanted I could actually sit and work on a bow...it wouldn't be the most comfortable, but it could be done. It would be pretty easy to mount it to a lower bench or table so you could sit to work on it. http://lastchancearchery.com/shop-1/ez-green-press
