Broadhead Storage?

TxAg · August 07, 2013, 06:27:00 PM

How do you prefer to store your broadheads for home use and for traveling?

Edit: after you've sharpened and honed your heads, how do store them to keep them as sharp as possible?

A tackle box.

I also use a small tackle box. Its clear so I can see all of my heads and keeps them organized.

A small tackle box with the heads pushed into a piece of foam to protect the blades.

do you lube them up before storage?

I have a plastic broadhead storage box. There is a removable tray in the box that has storage for about a dozen sharp broadheads; the heads clip into little holders in the tray and the edges touch nothing during storage. Under the tray, I put in some pieces of Styrofoam and my dull heads get stored there.

I'll go get a pic for you.

The box is made by Case Guard. Here are the pics

First pic is box closed:

Second is the tray that holds sharp heads:

Third is the bottom of the box where I store my dull heads:

My heads don't screw off. I put the arrows with points in a PVC pipe container held apart by styrofoam type material. At home, I have a rack I store them in vertically so the blades are not touching.

Bisch, that is slick!

It is still available. Google "mtm Case Guard" and you can find it on their website.

When traveling with glue ons I just cover the edges with blue painters tape and the arrows go in the pvc tube. Screw ons get stuck into a piece of foam. Everything gets touched up anyway when I get ready to hunt.

Wally World sells watertight heavy plastic cases for boating to secure valuables, cell phones, etc. They have one that is narrow and about 6 inches long. I put foam in them and they hold six three-blade broadheads nicely. They have an "O" ring to seal them. Very well made too. Just a few bucks.

I think I'll start with rigging something up with some leftover foam and my wife's tupperware.

Some BH's are stored on the end of my arrows (wood) and poked into foam. Spares are in a clear plastic box and some are in whatever packaging they came in.

I just stick em in my pocket.

Ok, I use a cheap Plano tackle box from Wal-Mart's fishing area. Sometimes I wrap the edges in masking tape, sometimes I dip the edges in hot wax.

The ones that I hunt with stay in my quiver and touched up throughout the season, the ones that aren't on the ends of my arrows are in my archery tackle box, right beside my honing stones.
