Need someone w/bow press in Beav/Hillsboro

kodiakfisher · 06-12-2006, 10:02 AM

Well I couldn't leave well enough alone, had the bow shooting great at 60yds good groups and then I was having trouble seeing the orange ring clearly on my site after several shots eyes would get tired trying to bring the ring into focus (probably my military training, clear sight picture blury sight post) leading to inconsistent sight alignment (very slight mind you). This is where the trouble started I had drilled out my peep twice before in previous weeks with no problems and wasn't quite there. The third time the drill grabbed the peep and twisted it out of the string and broke one of the strands.

I had actually meant to order a new string earlier in the year and forgot maybe this is fates way of saving me during my hunt??

Anyway if someone has a bow press and nock pliers I would greatly appreciate the use of it. I'm looking to come over install the string shoot about 20 shoots into my target just to set the string and reset my peep, and of course set my nock and I have all the measurements to do this.

Please help me...

U could always go to Archers affield in Tigard they charge a resonable fee and have a indoor range to get things diled back in.

I didn't buy the string from Archers Afield and I prefer to set things up myself. This frees me to get the draw length exactly right by changing the draw lenght by 1/4 inch. I have had discussions with them that very small adjustments like that don't matter. Such as having a small right or left tear and shooting out to 40yds (90% of hunting distances they are right) but I practice out to 60yds to highlight any form or tuning errors hence why I tune my bow myself. Although I have been to Archers Afield I have never been to Broken Arrow and this may be a good excuse to go over to their shop.
