Great review of your new toys. I wished every dedicated bowhunter/archer would get their own equipment. And carefully learn to use it. It makes Archery so much more interesting and satisfying when you KNOW everything is correct. The sad fact is many shops are mainly interested in selling a bow/whatever and get you out the door. Sure, they usually get you sighted for 20, but is your bow/arrow setup really tuned? Most likely not. That's why people need their own equipment. 100% peace of mind. Confidence in your equipment is Essential!!!!
As a bow shop owner, I appreciate this content. You purchased decent equipment and didn’t go the “economical”way. It will help people understand how expensive it is for an archery shop to run and validate the expense for repair work. We always appreciate a person who does their own bow work. Bow mechanics are hard to find and some of our best are self taught. Keep the content coming. @therackshack2012
I bolted my EZ Green to a couple foot long 2x4s. Get a couple C-clamps clamp it to any table. Easy to remove and put away in a closet, etc. I'll do the same when my OMP vise arrives. You don't really need stands at all and it's still easily portable.
That stand for the bow press is machined so poorly. You should never have to use a stainless bolt to bend tubing. Lucky that it even worked and didn't strip the threads. Just constructive criticism. For the money there should be no complaints after assembly. :/
Its there now and will last you for yeeeaaaars , buy the good stuff it lasts and performs better . Im a nomad myself and buy fast nikon lenses theres no substitute for quality
Time to start working on other people's bows. You now have a mobile shop to take to tournaments or other events. You just need a small inventory of common parts that need replacement on bows. Strings, peeps, ects. Everyone needs arrows at a shoot. Did you ever get a string square?
Yeah Allie dont think its menial and boring , theres lots of beginners look out for this info its all good , no such thing as smalltalk when your constantly learning ☺ thanks Allie and Nick
Like any other hobby it can get expensive. My father had a saying that he loved to say..copied and repeated by several million other people I'm sure."You can buy crap several times or you can buy qaulity once." For the person that wants to use it once and have it sit in the garage, sure go cheap. If you want something that lasts and you intend to use it a lot, buy qaulity👍😎 Thanks Allie! Have a awesome week🙂
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing. I wouldn't worry to much about making, a basic video, I'm sure you have people watching, that need some of the basic information... I thinks so many people over look the basics when making videos.. Keep up the great work.
My home shop must have cost me over $15,000 over the past 15 years, including a string making jig, and oodles of string materials, along with my homemade drawboard/shooting machine, papertuning stand, and target bag stand that can hang 2 bags back-to-back to prevent arrow pass-through at the weak spots. It pays for itself if you're also doing other people's bows and arrows. Speaking of arrows, you should get a G5 Arrow Squaring Device to square off your arrow shafts prior to installing the inserts or shooting points.
Thank You, I have been waiting for this video. The total was less than I thought it would be. I am looking forward to the small item tally. I hope you will include all of the small hand tools and their costs. Dale
hm.. i think this is the best solution for me. my workbench doesn't have enough space for a bow press as it is mainly a gunsmithing workbench. LCA's bow press stand and the OMP bow vise on a stand can come in handy. oh also, i currently use the bowmaster. works fine for it's intended purpose, but when you gotta make micro adjustments, it becomes a pain. i would have to take it on and off and check my bows to perfectly tune them.
Stand with loose legs. You can go to a hardware store and buy metal bar. 1/16 -1/8 thick & various widths. Get a hack saw and drill. Cut the metal bar to make big square washers that fill the gaps fully. Drill holes in two of them where the bold goes through. This should fully fill the gaps and stabilize the uprights/legs. Take some channel locks and straighten the bends so that your big plate washers do all the work and the metal does not need to be bent. Should be easy to cycle assembly and take down.
It's only money and nothing is getting cheaper, if you want it or need it go for it, I'm currently in the process of acquiring the items for my own home bow shop, and unsure of which bow press to buy myself. Def like yours and was considering that one or the electric version. Props to you pretty lady keep at it.
I'm just spit-balling here but couldn't u buy some nice 2×8 treated wood to mount things like a vise or the arrow saw to. Then u could C-clamp said board to a structure while still maintaining the mobility issue of your run & gun lifestyle?
Not trying to make an arguement here but the portable presses do the work just fine. Yes safety is important but they still work well. It's way better than that guy on RUclips that stuck an allen key in his cam, let the bow down, and " pressed" the bow. I do respect that you took it into consideration, but you didn't need to spend that much on a press...
Not to play the Mr. Rich card but all this stuff is actually cheap for lifetime tools. The real way to look at it is “ how often are you gonna use it “ ? And if you can find a way to charge people for setting up their bows then even better.
I got the bow last year and this year it’s been tools, I bought the same arrow saw and I love it. No more depending on an employee at the shop to cut my shafts.
I actually own a bow master portable press and its no e z press but it has replaced strings on quite a few bows since I got it, weather it is a came out of the cam track by accident or putting a complete string and cable set on for a friend.
Not cheap, is it..?? Well...I'm seriously considering on building my own custom arrows at some point. Looking at the cost of just that isn't easy for me to digest.
Quick cash saving tips! If you want a bow scale, you can save yourself 20 dollars by getting a luggage scale instead. Literally the only difference is that they stick on a label. Yes, sticking a label on there gets them an extra 20 dollars...
I used to live 3 hours from the nearest bow shop; that alone helped me justify having my own set of tools to work on it myself. Never mind the benefit of learning about your gear. I think it's funny when people drop money on a new flagship bow every season and don't bat an eye, but buying maintenance tools is "too expensive".
The Bowmaster G2 (the cheap option showed) is a great portable option for the bow box, especially when you don’t want to bother setting up the whole press.
That $50 bow press comes in super handy. My friends strings got derailed(i think he gripped his bow to hard and twisted the string) and i had to press it back in when we were shooting.
Nice set up! You did great. My friends son went out and purchased a bike stand for his bow stand. He paid less than $100 and he said its sturdy and works awesome. Just an FYI should your stand fail you. 👍
Hello Allie, something I wanted to make sure you were/are aware of. I actually had 2 of those presses, the first one was the one that you have and the second one was an upgrade that I can press crossbow on. In either case make sure that if you ever have to press a beyond parallel limb bow that you get the adapters to do so or the fingers will slip off of the limbs and cause the bow to pop out of the press and cause damage to the bow and possibly hurt you. Just food for thought.
Just went in deep my self not as deep as you did I work for steel company and weld so was able to make my own stands but the easy green is worth every penny
Hey Allie. Love your videos. It’s so much fun watching you enjoying the archery and process of getting your mobile bowshop up and running. You’re a breathe of fresh air and love your enthusiasm with archery and the outdoors. Just wanted to mention the additional items you spoke about as in bow wax and the “little things”. The other things I have in my tool box in my shop is or are multiple levels. I use a torpedo level, string level, an arrow level that clamps onto my arrow when I’m doing centershot tuning. It’s doable by eyesight, however, nothing like having your cemtershot spot on. Also, a third axis level like the Hamskea Third Axis tool is very helpful. As for bow wax, I love and use Scorpion Venom box. It’s a polymer synthetic that also scent free and I use it prob once or twice every three months. The more you wax your string is the more debris gets trapped in the threads and it’s with create little cuts in the threads of the string and prematurely cause you to have to buy new strings. And this is coming from me, a tournament shooter and a hunter. I put over close to 8000-10000 shots on my custom strings annually then I buy new ones. But just thought I’d give you some suggestions and ideas. Keep making your videos bc they’re awesome as you are!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
@@OutdoorsAllie you’re so welcome!!!! I just watched you shoot your buck and drug it out of the woods!!! Plus you guys were eating the pie and made me LOL. You’re such a great Gf to Nick!!! I know he’s a good guy as well. Great relationship!!! Sorry but it’s funny living vicariously the Pa life through you both. I’m down in Maryland and southern living is so similar!!! 😊😊 Keep enjoying the hunting and woods. It’s a great living!! 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you Allie....you videos are very entertaining and informative. I can't humt or fish anymore, but you teach me loads that I never knew, and you do it with an infectious personality.
Thats fantastic Allie. looks awesome . do you know if it would be much more or less for crosbow set up? hope you do a video using the equipment. thanks as always for the awesome videos.
That's pretty much what my bow ran me. Can't wait to see you build your Evo NXT 33. I'm hoping to learn alot from you Miss D. Maybe there will be a second stim check soon. Lol😃👍

I have that OMP VersaCradle vise, upgraded with the wide limb adapter. Without the stand, it cost me $310.
Fucking insane
Its there now and will last you for yeeeaaaars , buy the good stuff it lasts and performs better . Im a nomad myself and buy fast nikon lenses theres no substitute for quality
Crazy that all this stuff is now $100~ more per unit today,,,,
Time to start working on other people's bows. You now have a mobile shop to take to tournaments or other events. You just need a small inventory of common parts that need replacement on bows. Strings, peeps, ects. Everyone needs arrows at a shoot. Did you ever get a string square?
Yes to both!
Nice! Thanks for reminding me how much I spent on this archery stuff! You'll love having your own shop and working on your own stuff!
Its a great feeling!
Seems all that stuff could be just clamped down with C-clamps and skip the stands.
You have your point.
Yeah Allie dont think its menial and boring , theres lots of beginners look out for this info its all good , no such thing as smalltalk when your constantly learning ☺ thanks Allie and Nick
The vise could be bolted to the bow press.
Just a thought
Love to see it 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for watching!
Love to see her
Small c clamps will hold the arrow saw down nicely.
Good idea!
Get a board to attach your saw, but make it longer so it can be clamped to a table. (Harbor Freight had 6” “f” clamps woodworking section )
I would say learn the pocket hole system. U can build dam near any stand outta 2x4's.

Possibility.
Actually pretty inexpensive when compared to any flagship bow that when built can range from $1,500 to $3,000 without arrows!
True!
Next time you could build a stand out of 60mm X 60mm T-Slotted Profile 80/20 material. You could totally customize the stand with this material.
Thanks for the tips!

A deep rabbit hole for archery equipment. But for a long time shooter and love for the sport. Totally worth it. Great Video 🤙🤙🤙

Do you like the versa cradle? Does it Really work ? I'm thinking about getting one.
Yes, absolutely!
Why not just buy the ez deluxe press and save money from buying the additional vise?
I'll check it out.
Not cheap, is it..?? Well...I'm seriously considering on building my own custom arrows at some point. Looking at the cost of just that isn't easy for me to digest.
Yea same here.
Go for it!
Last Chance makes a bow press stand that mounts to the trailer hitch in the back of your truck or car.
Interesting.

Damn that sounds like fun!
@@OutdoorsAllie yeah, would shoot in some old chicken house he had on his place. That's where LCArchery started was in that chicken house
Very Good Idea ❤️🌳❤️
Thanks Johanna!

Oh so you know how to do stuff, whats the name of your shop.
Allie's travalin bow shop. 😂👍
We're glad you found our versa cradle bow vise and stand. Great choice - however, we may be a bit biased!
I dig it! No complaints!
Can you put that bow vise stand on carpet?
Ya, for sure.
mount your saw on a 2 x 6 board and clamp that down
For sure.
How much on beer or that's not part of the cost. 🤣
LOL it's tequila season!
Wow Allie You Are So So So So A Beautifuly 🌹✨🎉❤😘😘❤🎉✨🌹

@@OutdoorsAllie Yeah, especially in today's times, be cool to see a buncha new things all the time.
Who's teaching you how to use it.
That press you showed is a good one for if your in elk camp and for some reason you need to change your string.
Saves a trip to town
Sure is!
