How I'm rolling

[Bigfoot522]

Yes I shoot a compound bow.
My side chick..
Bow vises are not cheap but I found this at Harbor frieght which is where I bought my cut off saw too.

Good day.
Praise the Lord!

how well does it work?

I use their 1x 30 belt sander for sharpening. Works decent. I’m getting the saw you were talking about to cut arrows soon. You’ve now added another item to my purchase list!

 

[Bigfoot522]

I only use it for setting up the 3 axis sight.
Vacuum base. Works on the hood of the wifes car better than my work bench.

I have to be honest. I was out running errands and stopped and bought one. Just had my bow in it to put in new draw stops. Worked amazingly well.

Awesome!

You use the hood of your wife’s car? If we don’t ever hear from you again we’ll know why.

It wouldn't hold suction on my varnished bench.
Small cuts and scratches.
You need a smooth surface and it works great.

He’s got a rubber mallet next to it too….. on his wife’s car hood!! Maybe @Bigfoot522’s wife is like mine…..she could care less what car she drives or what it looks like. “As long as it gets her from point A to point B safely” Good for her!!!

I think I'll just use my truck....but I might go get one of those!

That’s a good find. Stanley makes some articulated vises as well. They are a bit more expensive but might have a bit more movement. I’ll be adding one to my travel kit.

My HF cutoff saw didn't fit the brackets I found to hold it for my arrow saw; wound up using a Menards Tool Shop cutoff instead.

Be sure to check your 3-axis alignment manually as it will usually be a little different than when done in a vise.

Looks good. I refuse to pay what they want for a vise made for a bow.

I use a $40 bicycle repair vise from amazon but what you posted looks better.

 

[Bigfoot522]

Yes, the sight is 3 axis correctly stated but you only set 2 axis on the vice.
The third is adjusted from full draw observation of the level on a plumb bob.

Here is a bow vise I made several years ago. It is cheap and easy to make and it works well.

I invested in the BAP vise but you can use it for anything if you want. I have used it to tilt the muzzle down to clean the bore of a few firearms. Work on scope mounting etc.

I have a BAP string jig and stretcher/twister. BAP makes good stuff.
As for bow vises, I have the one I made in the pic and I also have a versa-cradle made by Berry's Manufacturing long before October Mountain Products made them popular and started selling them.

You can get some bike vises pretty cheap too. I have seen people use those fairly well.
