Well I had been looking at getting a bow vise and had been eying the OMP vise. This vise looks like a very well built but I was having a hard time with it's cost. A friend found this vise on the web somewhere and told me about it and I couldn't be happier!! The vise was 30 bucks online. The hardest thing about the whole project was finding the 5/16-24 screw that screws it to the stabilizer hole. Best thing is it's portable too.
