Just got outbid on this. I'm not about to pay 50 bucks for it.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f255/migrabill/araholder.jpg)
It holds 50 some arrows. Was looking to get some clutter off my archery table and organize my arrows into one location. Anybody know where somebody can buy somethink like this for less than 50 bucks? I already checked 3 rivers- no dice.
And, oh yeah, before anybody sends me the plans to make one. Ask those who know me- not a chance.

Cmon Bill, I know you can do this one. I took an old nail keg and cut a piece of plywood slightly smaller than the top. I atached a 2X2 to one side of that just long enough to recess it into the keg and then drilled a bunch of holes. Hot glued a little rope around the top to finish the edge. I have another one with larger holes for broadheads. I'd been dragging these old kegs around forever and was glad to finally do something productive with them.

One day I'm gonna learn to stop asking these type of questions on this site. You guys just don't get it that there are men (real men) out there that are tool challenged.
1) Nail Keg - What's that? I haven't nailed a keg since my 30th birthday party.
2)"cut a piece of plywood" - I have NEVR, and I am serious here, NEVER cut anything with a saw in my life. I've never held a saw in my hands.
3)"Drill holes" - You're kidding right?
4) "hot glue some rope"- Rope I could find. However it is December here in the Mid-Atlantic and any glue that I sit out is not going to get hot - it's freezing outside. Can I use the oven to make it hot?

Get a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid on it.
Take a 45 calibre pistol and shoot as many holes in the cover as you need arrow holes. Pay attention to pattern the holes so the arrows will be properly spaced and placed.
"Ya can pull a trigger cantcha?!?"

Hey Bill here's a really nice arrow rack in my office.Works great as you can toss arrows from across the room and they will land perfect right into this arrow rack.They are really cheep and easy to make.bowdoc (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii175/bowdocsarchery/bowdocs/ar001.jpg)

:biglaugh: awesome there doc. I like

Don, now I know what happened to all those arrows at the Moses Lake Rock Shoots. They're only about 24" long, right?
...and what's wrong with keeping arrows in a cardboard box?
-
Don- You copied my gear room! I been using that arrow rack design for thirty years. You're right; it's foolproof. Grant
-
Doc, I'm pretty sure I see two arrows in there that are just alike. :D

Nope Lon those rock shoot arrows,I'd take them back and sell them the next year for 2.00.That work great for several years(finders fee).There may be as many as 3 that match in there some where.I do have one Mickey Finn in there somewhere,I shot a bear in Que'bec with it.Simon yes those are all of my medical deplomas rolled up.They never did do me much good !!! bowdoc

I think that Papalapin is the only one who really understands MigraBill and his skillset! Now that is something that he can do and would enjoy doing.

Dude you have a set of horns in that pile from a at least 9 year old, and I'd say double digit if a month old, ram! If that's your "table trophy" what the heck do your mounted sheep look like!
Guessing dessert or Dall sheep? Really hard to count growth rings and judge basses from that angle but it's gotta be 38"+ and real close to 14" at the base!

Real men take responsibility for there own independence and learn some shop skills. Besides wood working is allot of fun and not at all difficult.(this is intended as ribbing not a slam)
If you have never used a saw who cuts the fire wood for your camp?.......Your girlfreind?(ribbing remember)
-
Hey I'll pay $50 for the arrow rack & much more for one of those nice bow racks I see on here from time to time. For you guys who are skilled in the art of wood working hats off. But it takes chareacter to beg &admit I'm worthless with a tool in my hand. Let me here from you.

Agreed his admition did take balls.
