New Bow Rack

Goshawkin · April 22, 2012, 02:24:00 PM

Raining out today,so I figured I'd build a rack to hang all my bows in one spot.I used a piece of 1x4 maple,drilled some holes,epoxied in door hinge pins with some rubber tubing slid over them,done.Got a bottle of Tite bondIII while I was there and got out under $20.
I'm going to get a different blanket to hang in back.
The bows are,left to right
Colt- Woodsman
DH- Mamba
DH- Hunter
Martin- ML-10
Heritage Archery-Bridger MT. Sacajawea
Sentman-Carbon deluxe
Howard Hill-Black Bear carbon
JD Berry- Serpentine (Python backed)
Pronghorn-Nite Hawk
Laclair-Shrew (rattle snake backed)
Black Widow-SAIII
My daughter's bow, Northwood 18#@20"
Browning-Cobra 1
Got a couple empty pegs left,so I need a few more longbows!

I think what you need is a Whisperstick Mojostick around 50# that's really quick and a Shakespere Necadah 45# for when your daughter hits her growth spurt. That would ease the strain on the wall anchors of my bow rack (and make room for another new one?)

Emailing back and forth with Craig from Howard Hill.Discussing a build now and I'll be ordering it pretty quick. James Berry is going to get a call pretty soon too. The workmanship in the Serpentine he built for me is incredible.I'm gonna try one of his Vixens.I've got a few guns for sale and if they all go,Steve Turay is gonna get a call also. I've heard nothing but good about his Sheltons and want to try one as well.I don't want to take any money out of pocket(gotta be careful,wife is in range of the computer as I type!) I'm just selling "toys" to fund new ones.

Nice idea...Like that you were able to build this without breaking the bank.

Looks very nice. I think a Tomahawk bow would fit in real nice with that collection.

Worked out good. All the hooks I was looking at to hang the bows from were $2-$5 each. Stumbled on the hinge pins for $.68 a 4 pack! Cheap piece of 3/8" tubing fit like a glove.
