As far as an arrow fletcher goes...get the bitzenburger. Best money can buy hands down and well worth the extra money (I love mine). I have heard that a lot of people like the apple infintely adjustable bow vise. I don't have one, but I am looking at getting one. Hopefully that will get you started...

Yes definately get the Bitz. I find that Goat Tuff glue works awesome and make a unbrakable bond. And I have a Apple Archeryvise and love it, they are really good and cheaper price than the competition. As for the arrow saw,I have an Apple Archeryand really like it but I have heard that the Cabelas brand are good as well and cheaper. If you do not already have one your going to need a bow press. I still need one and can't decide between an Apple Archery or one from Last Chance Archery. They look like great presses. Whne first setting up a bow you will need a centershot tool, bow sqaure, nocks and nocking pliers. Plus a good set of allen wrenches will come in handy. I think any of the latter are good and not that expensive. I made my work bench and have a little corner for pegboard that has worked out great for me. Here's a pic:

I would get the last chance archery bow press. This is the easiest press to set up and use.
