I've been trying to come up with a rack that will "fit the decor" and hold 10-20 bows. Making another bow always seems to take precedence over a rack. I guess right now while it's really to humid to work on a bow is a good time.
Would definitely like to see that, thinking of making a rack

I've been shooting it regularly. I retillered it a bit and will try it tomorrow.

Just throw them in the rafters until you get a rack.

 Keep your eye out for an old wooden baby crib. Just cut the top rail and bottom rail leaving 4" of the slats sticking out. Hang them vertically 4' apart and you can store a dozen or more with minimal effort. It may not match the decor but it will keep you from ruining your bows.  ;)

Do you hang your bows up or lean them in the corner?

Exactly what I was thinking. Horizontal is the way to go.

I'm still having a few doubts about all this. If a bow can bend from leaning against a wall, why doesn't it bend when laying across two pins? And for the humidity argument, if it's more humid near the floor why is hanging them by the string OK?

And when I hung them up I noticed that there is thirteen bows. I either have to break one or make another one. Tough decision. ;D ;D

there are times when a bow can shift for "no reason",, your bow rack will help,, leaning them on end is just not good idea,,
