Title: How do you display/store your trad bows and arrows?
Post by: savagelh on March 05, 2016, 08:14:00 AM
I have a trophy room in my shop where all my deer and moose heads  and other trophies are displayed. I would like ideas on how to display my trad gear and build an arrow rack as well. I would like to see everybody else's set ups

I converted an old dresser into my storage area my archery gear. Took out all the drawers, hung hooks, and mounted old quivers to the side. It does a reasonable enough job.

I've posted variations of this picture here several times. (Depending on what bows I currently have.)  Its about the only thing I've ever built from scratch that came out the way I wanted it.    ;)

My wife won't let me display them, so I just put them in a bow sock and store them in the closet on top of the clothes rod hangers.

I made a basic board with a few shaker pegs in it then hung it in the closet. The wife doesn't want them "decorating" the house so I hung them up to be easily accessible in the closet.

Mine just sit on pegs screwed into a basement wall (also out of sight of the public per wife's request    :D   ).

Curtis,

That's a pretty good looking collection (bows and rack!).

I just ordered a PCH, so I'm anxious to add to my own bow rack!

This a a good thing, easier to sneak new ones in and out. Kinda like guns...  Not that I do this, of course    :saywhat:

M Beach: That dresser tip is a good one for my Indian artifacts to display, thanks.

Mine are unstrung propped up in the corner next to the back door. But they are all longbows. I have one recurve that I fish with that's out there in the barn.

Jeff! That is WAY TOO MANY bows   :)  

If they weren't right-handers, I'd offer to take a few off your hands.

These are nice pictures. I don't have anything fancy at all. I have two wall mounted coat racks from which I hang recurve bows. I have a couple of gun racks with longbows on them.

This is my first attempt at posting a photo. I used an old piece of oak from a skid and used an old set of antlers for the top bow and shaker pegs for the lower. The hat rack was preexisting.
