Title: How do you store / display your bows?
Post by: Susquehannock on May 18, 2008, 11:50:48 pm

I have been thinking about making a simple yet stylish rack to store my bows, quiver, arrows, on the wall of the garage. Right now they lay against the wall or the workbench and are constantly in the way. I am hoping some of you might post pics of your bow displays so that I can get some ideas and inspiration.

Thanks, Jason

I made a simple rack.  A 1x6 by 3' piece of cyprus with 11/32 holed drilled in the center about 6"apart.  Then glued the fletching end of some busted arrows in the holes.  Just hang them on the arras.

I hung ropes from the celing, make a knot every 6" and just slid the bows thru, ...I'm sure it makes no sense ;D ::) ;D ::) I'll take pictures tomorrow

stored horizontally, on a peg rack. I went to the craft store, got these things called "shaker peg racks". Two of them nailed to a board makes a standing peg rack.

Some nice bows there. Good idea of hanging in the closet if you have the space. Anyone else with some pics?

thanks, Jason

That's what I was thinking, the skin looked right but have never seen a sturgeon - didn't know they had spikes. Wild lookin thing..

Most people don't use the Spikes ....they go for the Softer Belly and lower sides....I like the Spikes....gives it Character too....plus at $75 a whack....you don't waste any of it!!!!!
