Junk 2x6, and two 3/4" dow rods.  Can of spray paint for the boards, can of plastic tool dip for the rods, and a box of spare screws.  Just a quickie afternoon project while trapped at home with the kids.     (http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g438/Biathlonman4B/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_163731_zps28xaw7hq.jpg) (http://s1101.photobucket.com/user/Biathlonman4B/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_163731_zps28xaw7hq.jpg.html)

...something sooo simple that I only needed to put 2 screws in. Best part?  expandable, as long as there's wall space.

Ive posted this a few times.  a piece of drift wood and broken arrow shafts.  I have one with bamboo rods instead of arrows, they are far shorter.

Not the best pick, shop is dirty but it works.

Here are a couple I found. My first suggestion, "bow storage" was not a good one. "Bow racks" turns up a better selection of posts

I catch a few each year Doug to help out landowners with problems or to show somebody how to trap them off there land the right way.

I used two exactly the same lengths of chain, hung them off the joists in my basement shop and tied in loops of braided nylon rope at counted links.  The bows rest horizontally in the loops.
