Awwww, Willie! Say it isn't so! I paid good money and hadda finish 'em myseff! Onliest place I ever saw them was on eBay from the guy what made 'em.

OK, Ok I understand Decor now  :rolleyes:  What da heck is a "minutiae"?? My house is full of collectable junk, it takes an arteest to arange it all.

Killie your house sounds comfy  

Believe me, it looks more presentable in print than it is! I have a pad of disclaimers and releases at the front door in case anybody is foolhardy enough to want to enter.

This rack now has 14 bows on it. This was taken before Murphy's fifth corrollary caught up to it. (Junk expands to fill the space available.)


The count on this rack is about the same, because I took the overflow off it and put it in another rack. Time to find some bingo halls and yard sales...and some more walls.



"Minutiae" are all those leetle bitty things hat you can never find when you need 'em. Stuff like  a taper tool, tube of Duco, Sharpie, that box o' nocks, your hat and the armchair that you know must be under something in the living room.

He don't drink lemonade, Dano.  

That could be the problem my deer  :(

Oh yeah heres one of my racks  :D  

My bow rack is real simple. Two pieces of Tiger Striped Maple and screw in ladder racks from the local hardware store. Each level will hold 3 recurve bows.

"Minutiae"..........good sniglet Killdeer  

Wow, those are some really nice looking racks and Bows.

Is hanging a bow by the string in the verticle  not the same as standing it in a corner?
All the weight is on the end of the lower limb just as if it was standing on the limb and we know that can cause lots of problems.

From what I have heard, hanging by the string is one of the best ways to store a bow.  But I would love to hear the pros and cons.  I am as most say a newbie to this game, and Pete you clearly are not; you do all those reviews and everything.  Are you asking a rhetorical question or are you wondering yourself?  If it is bad, is it different for Long Bows and Recurves?

I am  curious. Logic "in my version" says that hanging like this would be the same as standing the bow in the corner. But I realy don't know .
I store mine horizontal.

Mark, very nice!!!!!!!!triger stripe...

My wife bought me this.  I have 10 bows and a spare set of limbs for the Bear Custom TD.  I'm going to make an arrow rack for the rear of it.  I think it will look great on the mirrored back.
 

Pete, you got me thinking.  I have heard that standing a LB is not nearly as bad as a recurves.  I may make 2 racks, a horizontal RC rack and then a vertical LB string hanger.  I don't see how hanging a one or 2 piece LB could hurt it, very little weight and it does "grip" from the top as well as the bottom if you put your finger in the string when you hang it you can feel the squeeze on the top (super unscientific method I know, don't ever ask me to help with your reviews, I clearly am just a monkey       ) But with the weight of a 3 piece bows and the complexity of the bends and sets in recurves they seem much more vulnerable to long term subtle influences.  I am leaning towards 2 racks for sure. Also that means more room for additions!!  
Oh yeah, beautiful setup and bows Bowbender
