Howard's Total Vise Legacy Press

Howard's Total Vise Legacy Press.

The Legacy Bow Press arrived early in the week but work and turkey season kept me from getting very much time with it.

Howard's Total Vise Legacy Press Review

Threw the kids 29" axle to axle bow in for a test run. Super easy to quickly adjust and press.

Press fingers have plenty of rubber padding and a huge range of adjustments

And of course with any Howard's Total Vise products you have impeccable Made in the USA quality. Pictures don't do this craftsmanship justice.

I'll be doing a complete teardown and cleaning of my PSE Mach34 over the weekend in preparation for Cold Bow Challenge 2025.

If you have any questions or want any pictures just let me know.

Here is an overview of the Howards Total Vise Legacy Bow Press-

for you guys that haven't seen it yet.

Been slacking for sure but a full tear down is still the plan

Put the tiny kids bow in the press, had to use the cross bow adjustments but it fit.

Well....
Had a rather large problem where I bent my bottom cam and had to break my bow down to swap it out.

No problems releasing all the limb pressure.

Cutting it close to get all the parts to put it back together

I have a simple mind. As I stated in my own thread on this press, I'm amazed at the thought Jeff put into this press. I was on the phone with him about an hour ago and as a passing thought I asked him why I have two different length set screws on the press fingers. I just assumed he had two different sizes in his supply and threw in what he had. Wrong! The first picture below is of the press fingers as I have them currently set for my Bowtech Core SR - split limb design. The second picture is of those same fingers from the side with both set screws screwed all the way in. They are a different length. The third picture is an end view of how close the fingers would be if you had a solid limb bow in the press. Now you can see why the need for the different length set screws. Like I said, I have a simple mind and with the benefit of hindsight, and Jeff's explanation, this just shows how much he has paid attention to the small details.

Buddy brought his Matthews over some quick work. No problems getting the fingers to press past parallel limbs.

Nice he incorporated multiple options in one set of fingers!

Relative to my ez green, the fingers look huge. Do they interfere with your ability to route the string/ cables around the cams?

Not at all.

I think partly the rubber tips of the fingers make them look bigger

You could trim them back even with the edge of the finger but I haven't found it necessary

Thanks for the pics. I have a pse, so that's definitely not how i would be putting the fingers on the limb tip. They are overall slimmer than they appeared in the videos though.

I swapped shim stacks on the Darton I have while it was pressed. Nothing got in the way.
