Title: "V" notch recurve rack
Post by: BAO on February 11, 2010, 09:02:00 AM
3Rivers is having a contest.  To apply you must submit photos of something you made/invented that is archery related.  One if the pictures is of a simple rack that hangs recurve bows in a "V" notch.  I would like to get some more info regarding notch size and spacing as well as thickness for the board.  Do any of you recognize the rack on the 3Rivers sight?  I have posted the site address below, just scroll down until you find the picture.  Thanks

It's copied after the old Bear racks.

Yep, those have been around for ages.  Just measure the tips on a few of your recurves and cut slots/triangles big enough to accommodate them. Make the slots a little on the large side and leave enough room between them so your bows don't bang together. Also leave enough space between the Vs and the wall so the tips will fit snugly all the way into the grooves.

Hey BAO
There was some cool stuff on there.

The rack you are talking about looks like just a piece of 1x4 to space it from the wall and a piece of 1/4" ply (maybe 4 1/2" tall)on top of that with the v notch in it.
