Bow storage
« on: February 12, 2011, 05:17:00 PM »
I am very new to traditional archery and just read that unstrung bows should never be stored standing up in a corner.  They should be stored by hanging them on pegs.  Why?  Any answers would be appreciated.

You can also store them horizontally on pegs.  Very safe method.

Does anyone have a picture of a good design of a peg hanging system? I have more room for hanging vertical than horizontal.

Thanks

drill a 11/32 hole into anything and then put small sections of arrow shafts in them either with caulking if its sheetrock or woodglue if is a wood board then put HTM blunts over the ends of the shafts.

Here's one I put together.  Used to rest my bow horizontally, until I got a couple more, then I went vertical.
