Abstract

A portable bow press made of three distinct and separable parts. The first two parts contain loop assemblies made of steel wire formed into a U-shaped loop with the two ends connected via a bolt. The third part is a connection cable with S-hooks on either end that hook into the loop elements. The bolts in the loop assemblies are applied through tooling holes in pulleys on the limbs of a compound archery bow. The bow press is applied once the loop assemblies are in place. The limbs can be forced inward by drawing the bowstring creating enough slack for the connection cable to be hooked on either end to the loops. When the bowstring is released, the limbs are held by tension in the cable and loops to a point where they are closer than at brace height. When the bow press is applied, the bowstring is loose and maintenance can be applied to the bow, before disengaging the bow press.
