Thanks so much for listening and glad you liked it! Leigh

All I run is a 50 dollar index release, an 80 dollar fixed sight (although I do want a slider since the deer and elk here can be at a decent distance), a 140 dollar cbe drop away, 80 dollar conquest 10 in stabilizer, 30 dollar quick disconnect and a 600 dollar darton consequence. My arrows are about 10 bucks a piece as well. Also speaking on cheaper bows, the consequence is a great shooting bow and from watching multiple testing videos, they’re up there with some of the flagship bows in terms of quality. Sure the speed isn’t amazing but at 27in draw length with 410 grain arrows I’m shooting 245 fps at 65 lbs

Great idea, I actually think I should do a full episode on this. I will make it the topic of episode 7! To answer your specific question, just spend the money on the cheapest LCA press. It is the same one I use, and it is all you need. The emergency presses are nightmares waiting to happen, I would be hard pressed to use one even in an emergency! If you are serious about DIY archery, you've got to get a press and you will never regret it!
