Here's a bow press, draw board, bow scale, and mechanical shooter all in one. Kind of.
I grew tired of driving to the archery shop if I needed anything done to my bow.
Figured it's time to learn.
I was going to make a just a draw board. The wood, screws and pipe would have cost me $15.
For an extra $35 I saw this Ryobi folding miter saw stand. PERFECT. Takes up less room and it's self supporting. No need to clear 5-6 feet off of any workspace.
I did steal a lot of the ideas from YouTube and Archery Talk and combined them to fit my needs.
Ryobi Miter saw stand.
Walmart winch.
Walmart luggage scale.
Bowmaster portable press and split limb adapters.
Walmart screw mount boat rod holder to hold the bow.

Everything else I had laying around (scrap wood, spring clips, turnbuckle for fine adjustment)
I do have a bow vise on the way that will mount to the other sliding arm.
Should be a nice bow station when it's all done.
I can check cam timing, peak and holding draw weight, cam lean..pretty much what a shop can do.
The bow holder for the press and small toolbox on top can all be easily taken off if needed elsewhere too.
Now I just need my cam, string and cable set to show up so I can put it all to use.

Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.
