Quick take down bow display stand

I needed to make a display stand to take to ETAR. Here's what I came up with. 
Parts:
2- 10D (penny) nails
3-1X2X8ft pine furring strips
2- 5/16" dowels
1- 1/4X20X4" threaded rod with nuts
3 ft of braided cord
Cut the furring strips to 6'
Drill a 1/4" hole at the top of the 3 furring strips and bolt together. 
Cut the dowels into 13 4" lengths. (12 for bow rests, 1 for quiver hanger)
Drill 12 equally spaced 5/16" holes on the 2 outside supports. 
Taper one end of each dowel piece. 
Take one piece of the cut off ends of furring strip and cut  it to 22" with a 30 degree angle at each end. 
Cut the heads off the nails and install in the ends of the 22" spacer brace. 
Measure 32" from bottom of the 2 outside supports and drill holes for the 22" brace support to go into. 

Insert the 4" dowels in to the equally spaced 5/16" holes, taper end out. 
Drill another 5/16" hole in the center support at a 45 degree upward angle and insert last 4" dowel. 
Drill a hole in the center of the 22" brace support for cord to go through. At the same height drill another hole in the center 6' support. Then insert cord. 
This is what you should end up with.

I hope you like this. It will come in handy at hunting camp as well.

God, I'm worthless. I wish that I had half of the ingenuity of some of the guys here. Nice work.

I need to make something similar so I'm keeping this handy so I can make one my self, thanks VA Bowbender for the instructions.

Nice looking stand.        And a nice looking group of bows being displayed in the stand.

Rob, Great work and design. Should work well for hunting camp and shoots as well. Thanks for sharing the pics. Don

That's an excellent set up bro.... i think i might have to build a couple myself.        


I built something similar to yours that is a table top version that i just put together with screws. This one holds a dozen bows, and takes up less room in a little 10 X 10 booth and you can stack other stuff under the table if need be.

   

   


Here is another one that a close friend of mine in PA built for the Baltimore shoot.

The only down side to this type of rack is they don''t work as well once you string up your bows.
