Sims String Leeches
Can you install Sims string leeches without a bow press? Saw in Cabella's a device to spread your string, anyone use this to put in a string leech?

I have done it a bunch of times, with the help of my hunting partner. I have him draw my bow then while he is at full draw I work the string apart with an extremely blunt letter opener and insert the leech. No problems having done it a dozen times. They sell a little wedge that won't harm the string.

Full draw works...scary unless you reeeealllyyy trust the guy drawing 
You can do it rest but it's not usually recommended. Too easy to break a strand under pressure. That being said....it can be done but be very carefull and use a VERY blunt instrument.

What is the advantage of being at Full Draw to do this?

At full draw on most compounds you have letoff...releases a lot of pressure on the string and minimizes chances of breaking strands in the string.
