Title: horizontal bow rack
Post by: sendero25 on March 12, 2008, 07:34:00 PM

I hope this is the correct forum for this question, but I am looking for someone who makes a horizontal bow rack that will hold at least 4 bows but 6 would be better. I am looking for something "decorative". There is one on the cover of the '08 3-rivers catlog that I really like. I am a clutz with woodworking tools and my wife is getting tired of bows hanging all over the bedroom and home office.
I have tried cabelas, basspro, and about every other archery supplier I can find but they all have racks for compounds.
If anyone knows who manufactures one or has plans for one would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Not too hard to make one.  Just take 2 pieces of any 2x2 hardwood and drill some 3/8" holes for pegs.  Put some dowels in those holes, secure with any wood glue, attach both ends in a horizontal fashion inside about any closet and there you've got it.  Stain it if you want and you've just saved yourself about $50!!!!

One of the best ones I have seen was an oval shaped mirror. Put your pegs from top to bottom and hang your bows.

I don't remember who did one and had pics, but it was great, very nice looking.
