While the LCA is a decent press if you invest in all of accessories you will need to fulfill your press needs, it does not compare to the quality, safety, and utility of the Pro Press when used correctly.

I hope the LC press does what you need it to do. In my experience, it is the only press I have ever had eject a bow. I have used the LC press many times over the years, but when it ejected my Carbon Steath and broke one of my limbs, and something flew and bloodied my chin, that was enough for me. I was using limb adaptors on the bow.

I would own another LC press, but I would certainly buy the nearly $300 limb lock system. I would also prefer the EZ Press over the entry level. At this point though, the price would be high enough I would likely just save my pennies and get the Pro Press.

Im open to someone from specialty archery giving me the proper settings and I'll buy new cams and try it again. It is a quite complicated machine with multiple settings and specialty archery is saying try to figure it out and we will tell you when you are wrong.

It is quite simple to use once you figure it out. And when you do, I bet you will like it. One thing to remember is only press the bow the minimal amount required to do the work.

When my Carbon Air got shucked in the LC press, I called PSE and told them exactly what happened. I told them the truth. PSE shipped me the parts I needed for free. The service tech said they did it because I didn't try to make up some bogus crap to try to get warranty.

When the parts came in, I took the bow to a shop with a Specialty Archery Pro Press for reassembly. Zero issues, nothing worrisome, done in minutes.

I've paid for all the parts myself...you can call Vances outdoors in Obetz, Ohio I said the bow slipped out of my press every time. PSE never gave me free parts but it's not there fault and my Mach 34 is a great bow. So you messed your bow up at home pressing it at home and PSE took care of it?...interesting. I am saying I will pay for the parts myself again if specialty archery wants to give me the settings so it doesn't slip out again...that's it.

LCA is the press PSE recommends I believe. I'm getting the vibe you work for specialty archery am I right? The specialty archery rep I spoke to 'knows a guy" that presses the Mach 34 no problem. Just give me the settings and no problem...right?

The reason I bought it is that in theory it would put less force in the riser and today with all the cut outs modern risers have it would lessen the risk of bending a riser. I remember having a mathews monster xlr8 back in the day and it's beefy riser. They were recommending you turn the limb bolts out 10 turns before you press it. I have a lift on order and I will not be pressing for any reason I'll let the pro shop press that one. I personally think it is way easier to bend a riser than most will say. I have a LCA ez press that I am going to upgrade if I ever get this one sold. Yes a very complicated press with no recommendations on settings for safely pressing a bow from the manufacturer is a recipe for disaster...it just took a while for it to happen to me.

Obviously this one poorly designed... maybe you should ship it to me for disposal... I'll pay for shipping!!!

 

[smokn_speed_bow]

Specialty archery allegedly has the information to press this bow safely if they now don't provide it and I get hurt... No offense bro you looked at a picture and never used this press and had a comment it was likely my fault...no thanks. I'll buy cams again myself and try it again.

Your assumption is very incorrect. I'm a free agent and have no affiliation with Specialty Archery, or any other company.

I have worked in a shop with the pro press, and I have owned a Pro Press and Pro Draw. I have also owned a Last Chance Power press and EZ Press. I don't hate LCA presses. I would own a LCA press with all the gadgets that are necessary for the bows I would need to press. But, given all the presses I know of on the market, I strongly prefer the Pro Press, all $1400 of it.

So what did you say to pse after blowing their bow up at home to get parts for free. Was it an insider thing? I've had to pay for all mine. Maybe you still have an inside connection and can get me the settings to press the mach 34 since it's such a secret?

 

[cuttingedge]

I said, I did a stupid thing and this is the call of shame. I said it wasn't the bows fault but I would appreciate the best deal you can give me. I was very, very nice when I talked to them.

At the time I worked at a shop but we did not stock any PSE Compounds, nor did we order any while I worked there.

Maybe a PSE rep will come on here and give me free parts since I have already bought three sets of cams and a set of lower limbs. I've always ran under the assumption if you pressed your own stuff at home it's on you. I've not even contacted PSE because I don't believe it's their problem. Specialty Archery claims this bow can be pressed no problems... just give me the settings. You can not possibly create a complex machine that creates such force and not face liability...help me out so I don't have to buy any more cams and limbs and I don't get hurt. And you don't fix what is not broke if the regular ears are working there is no need to create wide limb ones.

 

[smokn_speed_bow]

I'm gonna say you feel more like damage control bro. I called specialty archery and if you are going to lie to me I have no use for you period. If you have someone that presses this bow with no problems give me the info so I'm not paying $1000 in parts on a $1700 bow...it's quite simple. I can send you the serial number of the bow and you can verify everything I'm saying. I've heard what you are saying if you don't have a solution just move on your preference on bow presses does nothing.

First off, I didn't ask for free parts. I asked for a good deal. My bow was exactly 1 day old when this happened. I was very thankfull PSE chose to help me out. Great Customer Service.

Secondly, if the press is set right, you use the nylon straps cinched tightly, and don't press the bow too far it will be the most secure press on the market.

Someone with a pro press post some pics or a video to help this guy out. Show a pic of how the press looks with the bow properly positioned and securely strapped. I want to see this guy succeed at getting his bow safely put back together.

Do you have a shop nearby with a pro press

Who are you talking to with this?

 

[pbuck]

Seriously, is this press so complicated that you need settings from the factory for every bow just to use it? I had an original X Press and it wasn’t that difficult. Even with just the old rubber tubing bands I don’t see how a bow would come out?

Not trying to be a d1ck.... You bought a press 5 years ago... then you buy a new bow and can't figure out how to use the old press with the new bow, this is somehow Specialty Archery's fault?

The video I watched included metal safety clips/locks and they were used in tandem with the rubber Orings.

I've been under the impression that these presses come with the items listed below:

• The Specialty Archery Pro Press (U.S. Pat. No. 8,505,523 B1) was designed to be the safest and most user-friendly bow press on the market today.
  [*]The Pro Press Mapping Worksheet allows the bow press settings to be quickly and easily duplicated.
  [*]Safelypresses most bows or crossbows on the market today, while putting minimum stress on the bow’s components.
  

  • Refer to your bow’s owner’s manual before placing your bow in any press.

  [*]Limb Ears rotate on a splined shaft, and can be easily adjusted inward and outward to fit any limb configuration.
  [*]Limb Ear Tabs are spring loaded to prevent damage to the limbs if accidentally placed under a limb during pressing.
  [*]Limb Safety Clips and the Split Limb Safety Clips prevent the bow from being forced downwards out of the press when pressure is applied to the limbs during pressing by firmly securing the bow in the press.
  

  • NOTE: the Split Limb Safety Clips work only on bows with spit limbs, and are not compatible with bows that have a suppressor mount between the limbs (several Hoyt models).

  [*]Limb Safety Straps prevent the bow from being forced downward out of the bow press when pressing past-parallel limb bows.
  [*]Limb Slider Safety Pins prevent the limb slider from being forced upwards on the swing arm when pressing radical past-parallel limb bows.

The clips I am talking about are shown around the 3minute mark.

I've owned the press for five year's z bro...pressed several bowtechs, mathews, missions, diamonds...etc. You seem to be the expert and you don't own one? And your pro shop pressed and put together the one you blew up on a pro press. Do you have any personal expertise or are you just talking? Yes someone from specialty archery please chime up and do a video for me.

There are no clips that hold the bow in place bro just the rubber band and the cam straps which were in use when it slipped. Unless you have some experience with the press or some settings from specialty archery just stop yourself bro.

Your post made me do a deep dive into this because I am considering ordering one of these presses for here at the shop....

Did you watch the video??? I'm simply pointing out the discrepancy between your words and EVERY video I watched on that press... I don't know for certain these clips come with the press or if they are sold separately... but I believe the website at least implies they are included. Obviously, the settings mean nothing without the clips.

I am trying to help...but you refuse to listen.

The ears slide on to a post...the ears come into contact with the bow. The rubber bands and cam straps come into contact with the bow and hold it into place. There are no metal clips that come into contact with the bow or it would scratch it. There are no clips that hold the bow in place like you said was in the video. Please let me know how I miss spoke? Just cut and paste it.
