Arrow storage ideas...
« on: August 14, 2012, 09:49:00 PM »
I was wandering what many of you do for arrow storage?  I've used a bucket ...buts it's messy and flattens the feathers when they "mush" together.  Just wandering what clever and simple ideas some of you have had.

I have two arrow "tables" that I made with plywood and cheap screw in-on legs. I cut the plywood square I think it is 24"x24" and then drilled holes in rows with a 3" hole saw. Then attached the brackets for the screw on legs on the bottom of the plywood and then stained it all a dark stain and it looks alright. I will have to get a couple pictures and post on here. Pretty simple but yet effective. I have them seperated by the dozen and each dozen has there own hole which helps to keep them organized. The bottom of the arrow just rests on the floor/rug. Hope this helps a bit..Henry

For arrows that get used regularly, I keep them in separate quivers depending on which bow I shoot them from. That way I just grab the bow and its appropriate quiver and everything is matched up and good to go.

Also, I have a stackable bathroom shelf such as you might use in a small apartment. It is a metal grid with about 1" squares and takes up only a small corner of the room. The arrows stand up neatly. It can hold several dozen.

I use two milk crates, one stacked on top of the other and stick the arrows through the holes.  It keeps them vertical and separated.(truth be told I have 2 sets of them already full of arrows)

J.Cook, I got this idea from an archer's digest or something a long time ago.  The dividers are made from the grates that let air flow through lowered ceilings like in office buildings.

I use 3" or 4" pvc caps screwed to my work bench with lengths of pipe stuck in them. Use different pipes for various spines etc.

I have made a couple of the arrow racks like Gordon. The grates I got at home depot. Look in the lighting dept.
Of course your goal will be to fill it.

J.Cook, I made that arrow rack over thirty years ago and got the grates from the lumber yard.  I think Lowe's or other home improvement businesses would have them.  It just took one grate cut in half.
