Title: Couple of New Bow Racks
Post by: Alexander Traditional on March 22, 2017, 10:30:00 AM

My girlfriend has been after me to get my bows off the floor,and build a bow rack. We were having a get together so I actually had to get cracking on them. The one turned out nice,and the other one was just some little design,and some Minwax.

I took a close up so you could see that the one piece of pine actually had some grain to it.

Love it and I see some familiar profiles on those hooks. What is the top bow in the second pic? Almost looks like a low wrist Kanati but with a little more swoop!

Jason the one you are talking about is a Thunderchild. I do have a Kanati,but it is on the first rack,and five down from the top.

I got this little bow rack from 3Rivers,and liked the way they looked on the distance,so that's where I got the measurements.

I clipped a head out of a 3Rivers catalog,and my girlfriend took it to her work and enlarged it. I cut it out with an exacto knife and traced it onto the board,and then took a router, and cut it out. I used the table saw to cut off the excess on both sides of the shaft.

Great lookin' racks! (Not sure that I've ever said that to a GUY before...    :laughing: )

What is the bow & specs on the very bottom of the 1st rack?? It looks very interesting...

That's funny Tony!

That bow is a 58" Timber Ghost I think it's right at 60 pounds. Its a nice shooter.

Awesome! I loved my Smoke 1 pc., but when I went to Rick Welch's school, my draw lengthened to 29". My Smoke was only a 56" and I just couldn't shoot it as well as a longer bow. So I sold it and got a used Dakota bow. I would LOVE to try one of those 3 pc. R/D's! Especially one that's a little longer like that. Thanks for the info!

Cool idea!  That soarked a thought.  kinda makes me wonder why guys buy a gun safe for several thousands of dollars worth of guns (I'm guilty) but no bow safe... hmmm...
