Abstract
An improved archery bow press used to relieve tension in the bow string of a compound archery bow so that maintenance and repair of the bow string and its components may be safely and easily accomplished. A threaded rod is mounted adjacent and parallel to an elongate beam allowing brackets slidable along the beam to be positioned at differing spacings therebetween. The threaded rod is turned by a crank perpendicularly extending from the threaded rod. Limb engaging arms are hinged to the slidable brackets. Link members are pivotably retained to the limb engaging arms and the link members are retainable to a telescoping part of a screw jack which is retained to the beam. At least one of the link members includes a pin support bracket along its length. The pin support bracket supports a tapered pin extending laterally from the pin support bracket over a bow placed in the bow press. While the bow is urging the limbs around their connections to the bow riser, the bow string may be passed over the pin after which the bow press may relax the limbs and provide tension on the bow string in a position deflected laterally from the plane of the bow riser.
