Title: arrow storage question....
Post by: highpoint forge on May 12, 2008, 03:42:00 PM

what do you guys use for your fletched arrows at home? My collection is becoming unruly and I hate arrow boxes everywhere.

Suggestions?

You can't beat a 5-gallon bucket (or 3!)

i agree with robtattoo and if you want to separate certain arrows you can cut out tubes of pvc and stick them in the bucket

I use lengths of PVC tubing epoxied to boards (for Stability). Then mark the tubes with the arrow spine.

I did the 5 gallon bucket thing and it just didn't work for me. This is what I ended up doing.

I just use several 4" PVC tubes cut about 20" long mounted on a 2x6.

I do the same thing only with cardboard tubes.  You can see one of the ones I made the back ground of this pic.

Yes sir, I saw yours and built one myself. If I recall, you had 2 of them. I need to build another one actually. I still have more arrows to put up. :)
