safe bow storage
« on: January 30, 2008, 04:08:00 AM »
what is the best way to store old wooden recurves,on a rack in case.I was thinking about buying a few vintage recurves and was wondering the best way to store them to avoid damage or warping. a wall rack would make a nice display but would it hurt them over the years?   :help:

If they are glass laminated and stored in a cool dry area they should be fine. I store all my bows on a rack horizontly. All wood bows are subject to weather (humid), heat and so on. Different climates and where we live all play a part.
