need2hunt Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ok now I'm curious what all do you guys have at your house for working on your bows and or arrows? I've got a Bitz with a helical clamp for fletching my arrows and a baby tiger mousepad from Kmart to apply my wraps Looks like I'll be redoing my basspro wish list to include a G5 ASD Also I'm planning on getting a Weston 5000 RPM Arrow Saw. So I pretty much will be set with doing whatever I want as far as arrows go. I can do normal work tuning work on my bow but I don't have much equipment to do any extensive work on it. Anyway like I said, I'm curious now, so let's hear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've wanted a saw for a while and just noticed the new Weston saws at BP, the 5000 rpm is $90 and the 8000 rpm is $120. The Apple versions of close to the same saws are $150 and $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just ordered a Sureloc bow press and the 8000 rpm saw with vac attachment ... I also ordered the Easton Bow tuning kit with the Scale, Chrono, and computer system ... guess I have a Jo Jan multi fletcher with all the jigs and a couple of mouse pads ... also have a cresting machine from Bohning with all the paints Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, let me see if I can remember all of it. Arizona fletcher, Bitz fletcher, Jon Jan 6 arrow fletcher, Apple arrow saw with dust collector, Apple bow vise, Bow press on rolling stand, Hanging bow scales, digital grain scales, chrono on tripod, paper tuning stand, arrow spin tester..... Thats all that comes to me off hand. I've got a whole shop full of stuff though:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've got an Arizona EZ fletcher, a few extra Blazer vanes, D loop material, a spool of serving, and the allen wrenches for the basics. If I have to go above and beyond that, I've got my good buddy Chris Murphy from the Rivers Edge archery shop just a phone call and 15 minute trip away.

arrow32 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 My bow shop includes everything down at the bow shop. Can use anything I want down there. But do have just a few things here. Am looking into getting a bow press and some other things here before to long that way I can do even more work here at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Use the bow shop for bow work most of the time Gary, but I do fletch my own arrows. Got a bitz jig, and have been very happy with it. Would like to get a press, maybe eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I just actually built my setup in the new garage. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them. I found a upper cabinet at Sears.com for 29.99 it has power, 3 locking doors, a light and whatnot, I built a base and added a tabletop to mount it on. Then my saw fits in there perfectly, the bow press is on the other side, and the fletching jig goes on the right. Pretty cool. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
