Thanks for the tips Sag. That price is not out of reach and if you bought it as Lancaster Archery Supply then I can skip the potential shipping issues and just drive down to pick one up.

I have to admit though that Len's comments discouraged me on it somewhat but since he did mention limited usage then I see no reason why I would have a problem with it. Seems like it would take up alot of space though.

Frank,

I have seen every Apple press made and I wouldn't trade my Sure-Loc for 100 of them for my own use!
The Sure-Loc is much better made and mush safer to use!.
The Sure-Loc is plenty fast enough to adjust and press your bows on.
Wouldn't you rather take a little extra time to press your bow in a press that fits the contures of it like a glove with zero pressure on your riser and less pressure on your limbs also ?
Especially, a Bowtech, Mathews, or Hoyt bow!
Other bow presses don't exist for Ol' Sag anymore!
I normally agree with most everything Len says but not this time.
In the case of the Sure-Loc press, slower is definitely better!

Frank:

Didn't mean to "discourage" you. My comments are based on my experience with a product that works exceptionally well in a PROfessional environment and an understanding of the limitations of a competitive product.

This doesn't mean that either product won't work in both a PROfessional and limited use application. My needs are much different than what I've been told the Sur-loc will meet.

Sag has been a long-time proponent of the Sur-loc press. I've seen his posts on other forums encouraging its usage/purchase.

My personal press is actually an old Cajun that you can't buy anymore. I prefer it because of its speed of set-up and breath of applications. I can do everything from standard compounds, to crossbows, to Oneida bows on the Cajun.

I do have 4 other presses in the shop and all are various forms of Apple Products. I was going to purchase a Sur-loc, but was told that it was slow to adapt to different model bows. I can't have that in a shop that does as much work as mine.

Would I buy a Sur-loc press? Maybe the next time I retire one of my other presses. We usually retire one press per year due to the magnitude of work we do. I'll have to take a strong look at the Sur-loc at the next ATA Show. When I looked at it at the last ATA Show, the owner seemed rather perturbed when I questioned the product. His attitude/reluctance and the comments from my peers gave me an uneasy feeling about the capabilities and reliability of the product. I could be wrong in my judgement. Sag surely thinks so.

I'll tell you one thing. I won't purchase something just because Sag says so.

Well, that's ok, Len.
But remember...
If you're not using the bows and equipment Ol'Sag uses, you're not using the best.
