Abstract: A bow vise for clamping an archery bow at three spaced contact points between first and second relatively pivotable bow clamping assemblies movable about a common pivot axis includes a bracket on each assembly spaced from the pivot axis and a pin rotatable in each bracket. One pin has a smooth bore aperture and the other a threaded aperture. A coiled spring biases the assemblies away from each other. A threaded rod passes through both apertures, threads into the threaded aperture and includes a knob at one end for rotatably moving the rod clockwise and counterclockwise. As the rod threads through the threaded aperture, the knob applies a force to one of the brackets to pivot the assemblies toward each other. The bow is configured for rotating the bow about three mutually perpendicular axes and for microadjusting the position of the bow about two such axes.

Abstract: An adapter for removable mounting on the limb roller assemblies of an adjustable bow press to allow the bow press to be used with parallel limb short limb bows includes a base panel for mounting between the base and the limb roller of such assemblies. A generally upright front panel is joined to, desirably unitary with, and extends generally perpendicularly from the base panel, the front panel having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having first and second upwardly extending legs defining therebetween an upwardly opening U-shaped slot having a U-shaped trough. The upper end portions of the first and second legs include padding attached to the surfaces thereof facing the bow limbs for contacting, without damaging, the axels of the bow limbs. The base panel includes L-shaped brackets for stabilizing the adapter on the limb roller assemblies.
