Title: how do you store your arrows?
Post by: fountain on November 27, 2011, 12:53:00 PM
I have acquired a collection and have them standing in a corner....gotta go.  I have seen people withe cardboard display boxes(say wasting) from archery shops and that's a nice clean idea, but I can't find one.

How do you neatly store your arrow stash..upright preferably?

I do use some boxes.  Mostly, I use homemade tube stands of large diameter cardboard or plastic pipe glued to a wooden base.  However, I've has some feather chewed by some insects on the ones left exposed.

3 or 4 inch pvc pipe with cap screwed upright to shelves or bench.  Have several so I can keep 'em organized by spine, etc.  Cheap too!

I went to the Used Office Furniture Store. I got a rack on casters to store building plans. Works great. Holds 18 sets of arrows all divided by type. rolls in and out of my Study closet.

I use my back quivers,stoerage bins(under bed type), buckets and the top of my kitchen cabinets(wife hates it). and I do have some racks I make that are just 2 pieces of 1x3 with holes drilled through the top and half way in the bottom piece, and a piece connecting them. I hang it on the back of the basement door and arrows stand verticle in it.

I use plastic milk crates turned upside down stacked two high. I then run my arrows down through the top of them, fletch end up.

I do as Ground Hunter does for carbon, but for wood I store flat in arrow boxes with the dividers. Shawn

I have some in various back quivers, some in pvc tubes with a toilet flange for a base. I have some in buckets, some on laying around on my workbench. Some on the dash of my truck, a couple on the kitchen table, a few sticking out of a bag target in the garage. You get the idea.

I'm both lucky and lazy   :goldtooth:  

My local archery shop gave me 4 of their multiple hole display boxes a while back.. They take up minimal room, don't tip over and I can keep several dozen arrows correctly stored in matching groups and not have to worry about my wooden footed ones warping.

An old pair of worn out Lacrosse boots work well for storing some shafts and old arrows.
