Storing arrows - let's see how you do it

[rickshot]

This is about all I can fit into one picture without moving a lot of other stuff. I also keep them in quivers, boxed dozens, whatever boots don’t get put away in the closet, and a plastic waste basket that has a metal grid system in it.

What works fairly well with fletched shafts is the white sections of vinyl conductor pipe in the picture…six sections attached to one wooden base. I’ve made up 7 of them, which gives me 42 individual tubes that easily hold a dozen each without crowding.

The real fun is going to be packing all my gear for the next move a few hundred miles away. But, then I’ll have more room to arrange things more to my liking…and get to use it more. Rick.

All those swaged nocks is a beautimous sight!
I just dispersed a horde of shafts into various nooks throughout the house. There is so much clutter, and hundreds of shafts, my poor husband has no clue when something else makes its way in here.

I used to store arrows in their quivers. They got full, so the pails came out. And cardboard tubes, trash cans and vases. Vases warp arrows.

They are standing in corners, carefully stashed in cardboard arrow boxes or MTM plastic cases. All my shelves along the wall have discrete stacks of arrows that were once segregated by spine and condition, but have intermarried now, and become a great melting pot of wood, carbon and aluminum pillars of society. The fixit piles are as big or bigger than the ready-to-go piles. I gotta sit down and rig up all these busted ones for kids to lose at ATAR or something. Literally, there is no place in this apartment that does not have an arrow in it. Well, maybe the shower and the cat box, but that would be easy to fix.

Here's a workbench I made out of barnwood with a place underneath to store about 18 doz shafts. Now if I had 18 doz shafts.

I love that bench!
You re working on your shaft deficit problem, though. Wait a bit... you won't have a horizontal surface to work on anywhere!

Killdeer~ I have a workbench, somewhere under all that...   :rolleyes:

some very impressive arrow racks there!

I love these kinds of threads!!!!  I save links to them so that every time my wife says I have too many arrows or something along those lines...I can pull this up and show her, that I'm in the vast minority by having only a few dozen arrows!!!!     :D

5 gal bucket. Bucket was free of course.

My friend made me a nice wooden rack using a lighting fixture top that has 3/8" squares to hold the arrows. It is real easyto move around and will hold 12 dozen arrows.

Dick your work shop is always net.
David A. I had to look at that picture twice I thought someone posted a picture of my arrow box.

I am surprised no one has posted a pic of a deer with an arrow in it....   :rolleyes:

I do a bunch like this, along with arrows in quivers and an actual arrow rack in the house. Works pretty good. Got the idea here a long time ago in another post.

Wow, some really nice racks and storage systems here.

I have no pictures, but I use magnets to hold my arrows (at least the ones with points attached) this keeps them straight as possible (might as well use gravity....its still free..for now)

The magnets are screwed to the bottom of my floor joists, at the back of my work bench. (Basement shop)

These magnets are off of aerial mounts, and will hold about 8-10 arrows each.

I don't recommend using this "system" for broadheads, as if one should fall, and you are in its path...well, just don't use this for B'heads.

Yeah, shaft deficit disorder.

I have a rack my dad made me in 1966 for my display arrows and broadhead arrows but most field points are in 5 gallon buckets with 3" pvc dividers.
