I am very new to traditional archery and just read that unstrung bows should never be stored standing up in a corner. They should be stored by hanging them on pegs. Why? Any answers would be appreciated.
You will warp the limbs.
You can also store them horizontally on pegs. Very safe method.
Does anyone have a picture of a good design of a peg hanging system? I have more room for hanging vertical than horizontal.
Thanks
3 Rivers Archery has some in their catalog.
drill a 11/32 hole into anything and then put small sections of arrow shafts in them either with caulking if its sheetrock or woodglue if is a wood board then put HTM blunts over the ends of the shafts.
Heres mine. Simple but effective..

Nice looking bow racks,
Here's one I put together. Used to rest my bow horizontally, until I got a couple more, then I went vertical.

i used 2x4's for a frame and the pegs are the fletched ends of wood arrows.
