JeanPaul, I don't think hanging strung recurves by a peg will hurt them. I just made a setup for that with some trim molding and dowels. I put clear vinyl tubing over the dowel pegs after I painted them to protect the bow finish.

But I could be wrong. If anybody knows better, I'm open for correction. Preferably before my bows get somehow mangled.

I just have a 2x2 with some 3/8" dowels pressed in holes.  It doesnt look fancy but serves the purpose.

Hey Bronz,
Glad someone gets a little laugh out of my lack of computer skills! My wife thinks the computer  is a $2000.00 solitaire machine! She doesn't realize how easy it is to order hunting and fishing stuff with it! I was almost too embarrassed to post the pic, the wall behind the bow rack isn't really that awful "wine" or "burgundy" color. It is called "cabin red" and without the flash from the camera, it is red with a lot of brown in it, a lot like the picture on the cover of this years 3rivers catalog.
Anyway, my pleasure trying to get a pic to you, I know there are a lot of better and more original bow racks out there, but I am as much of a klutz with power tools as I am with a computer I just went with the kit.  I like hammers and stuff with no moving parts!
Shoot straight my new friend!

I hang mine up in the very front space of a safe, in the space right behind the door. I can hang about eight mostly long bows there. I use a rubber band to hold a thick rubber block to the upper limb just high enough to keep them off the safe floor. The block just sets on one of the shelves, letting the bow hang there. The takedown stuff fits in  on a shelf as you would assume.

I have an unused closet in a guest room downstairs for all my hunting gear and winter clothing. I hang metal "S" hooks from the wire closet shelving system and suspend each bow by it's string, one hook at each end.
