Basic Bow Tuning Tools

[cflhunter]

For a beginning archer like myself, what are some tools for adjusting and tuning my bow that I am capable of doing? Is there work that can be done without a bow press, or is a bow press one of the first items to invest in? I am hoping to learn the basics of setting up a bow and adjusting it to meet my individual needs. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

String wax

Extra nock sets

Extra field tips

Arrow nocks

Broadhead wrench

String Leeches

and all the other little stuff for the bow!

I keep most of this stuff in a box much like a fishing box. I use this to re-install string and cables, nocks, peeps, loops, string leeches, and tuning my bow. The website for these links have the best prices I have found anywhere! Now if you get into re-fletching your arrows.

Thats another can of worms! LOL! :rolleyes:
