Limb swap?

[Jpsmith1]

"Shade tree" job or a job for a pro?

Details. Got a Parker bow for my wife and she needs the youth limbs on it. Currently has adult limbs. I have all the parts and probably the tools to do it as I have a vise, cable press, and every hand tool known to man.

Seems pretty straightforward.

Press, swap piece by piece and limb by limb, reinstall strings and cables and adjust as needed

It is not that complicated, so long as you have the proper press to completely relax the limbs.

Cable press? Like a bowmaster?

Piece of cake, may not even need a press.

Yes. A Bowmaster press.

Not difficult if your cable press has enough range of travel to fully relax the limbs. My Bowmaster press didn’t have enough range of travel to perform a limb swap on a Mathew’s Heli-m, had to use a Synunm instead. Take photos of the string/cable routing and attachment points for reference when you put the bow back together.
