Title: New high tech aluminum bow rack!
Post by: highpoint forge on March 02, 2010, 12:59:00 PM
Well guys I finally have a bow rack in my hunting closet. I bought this high tech aluminum shelving about three years ago from a company in NY. It is friction (springs inside the rails at top) fit against the floor and ceiling. The aluminum channels/uprights have arms that slide up and down on cross pins along the track that the uprights have. For books, you would lay shelves across the arms. I had these up on my third floor in my library with HEAVY shelves and a lot of books, and from what I could tell, the house shifted a bit and all came crashing down. The carnage was unbelievable. Damaged floor, books, guitars, furniture. Wifey was livid. These are done and out, she says!

So I repurposed them, with very little weight on them. Enjoy!

I'd be careful with that location. It appears that you have a large population of spiders residing there. Other then that, the rack looks great.  :bigsmyl:

I might pad it a bit, but in a closet with a 60" bow you learn quickly to be careful.
