Abstract: An adapter for removable mounting on the limb roller assemblies of an adjustable bow press to allow the bow press to be used with parallel limb short limb bows includes a base panel for mounting between the base and the limb roller of such assemblies. A generally upright front panel is joined to, desirably unitary with, and extends generally perpendicularly from the base panel, the front panel having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having first and second upwardly extending legs defining therebetween an upwardly opening U-shaped slot having a U-shaped trough. The upper end portions of the first and second legs include padding attached to the surfaces thereof facing the bow limbs for contacting, without damaging, the axels of the bow limbs. The base panel includes L-shaped brackets for stabilizing the adapter on the limb roller assemblies.
