I am going to build a bow rack and need some feedback.

Which way is better?

I guess it depends on what you like, 15 of mine are hanging vertical 2 are horizontal.

I heard that standing them on end can hurt them.

Is there any truth to this?

Mine hang vertically, by the string, on pegs.

MW,

  Standing them on end for a long time can warp the limbs. hanging them by one end, on the other hand is ok.

Great, thank you for the responses

I don't think you can hurt a longbow by standing it on the tip, but a high-strung hybrid or recurve can be hurt pretty quick.

Mine are a mix.  I usually hang em vertically for bulk storage, horizontally for presentation.

All mine are hung horizontal

Good point Jeff the more curve the strung or unstrung bow has the faster proping them in a corner could hurt them.

"Horizontal Hanger" Here, and in Dire Need of Another Hanger, VERY Soon!!  :eek:   Just too many things to Do and Only So Many Hours in the Day!!  
Aint it Great?!?  

horizontal only way to go.hi bill  

Here's one I made for myself, based on a picture I saw on the internet somewhere...  I'm no furniture maker, but it turned out okay, I think.  I think the bows are prettier horizontal.     :rolleyes:





Holds five bows unstrung, or three strung, and 29 arrows.

Curtis,
SWEET

Thanks
