I keep mine in my back quiver and bow quiver and have no problems with warping.

I have several dozens in boxes under the bed in the spare room. We have super low humidity here, and have never had an arrow warp.

If sealed properly, no moisture should be able to penetrate into the wood fibers.  I keep mine in the garage in a bucket or bow quiver, in the basement in a bucket or another bow quiver.  On the sun porch in a back quiver and laying across the bar.  I think I have to many sometimes.  I even have a few dozen in boxes waiting for something eventually.

I shoot my arrow year around so no need to store them

I have an arrow rack I built which is inside my home. Never had a problem and we DO have humidity here in Texas.

No finish is completely waterproof; if arrows are stored where humidity is high they can slowly absorb water. If you store them indoors, no problem. I store mine as vertically as possible, and they don't warp. Arrow boxes that support them in at least two places are good, too.

Hunting arrows are in arrow boxes or in a quiver during hunts.
3D arrows are stored vertically in racks. Others stand up in buckets and small garbage cans awaiting who knows what. California is a pretty dry climate.

The broadhead mounted ones in a rack my dad made me in 1967 and the rest in two 5 gallon buckets with 3" pvc pipe as dividers.

I have arrows all over, but I make these racks for them sometimes (http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq309/dnlnovo/firarrows001.jpg)
