Setting up my Archery Cave Help
OK...So I'm going to turn my man cave into an archery cave.....I'm going to hang all new peg board....put carpet down on the work bench, and get this thing cozy......
So, can you guys suggest what I may need......Bow Vise, Arrow Fletcher, Arrow Saw..ect...ect.....
any help as far as what, and what brand you guys suggest and why?
This is going to be my Winter Project......Thanks for the Advise! Jay

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...

RE: Setting up my Archery Cave Help
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:
