Help me organize my trad stuff. Please!
« on: July 24, 2008, 08:07:00 AM »
I have trad stuff laying all over the place! Evrything is odd shaped. Big items and small items. I can't seem to get it organized to where I can go and find what I'm looking for. Can you show me your organizational systems? I need help before my wife kills me! Thanks

Tell your wife you need to build an addition on the house so you can have your own archery room. Make it at least 60 feet long so you can have a 20 yd. indoor rage too.!!!

I put all my filedpoints, broadheads and other small items in glass spice bottles in a rotating spice rack.  I labeled all the lids and it makes it easy to find those items.  The rest of my stuff is still a big mess though!  Tackle boxes work well for small items too.

Put all your stuff in one room. Put a lock on the door. DO NOT give your wife a key. Problem solved!

I have "Part of" the garage. I keep 3 of those big plastic see-through boxes you can get a Wal-Mart for about $20.00 I use one for my hunting clothes, one for my camping stuff, and one for hunting stuff.
A medium tackle box works fairly well for most of my archery tackle...broad-heads, tools, extra feild points and the like. I will keep everything in it's own little space. Then just label each container and put it away where your wife will leave it alone!

Plastic storage tubs.  They stack on each other and the shape of what you put inside doesn't affect that.   They are relatively cheap and don't look so bad.  I made a counter beneath cabinets in my basement, similar to a kitchen counter top, but with no shelves / drawers below.  I stach these totes two high beneath the whole counter and it looks... OK

Bows and quivers on wall racks, arrows in umbrella stands, small parts in disposable plastic containers - which are put inside big storage containers, and a "go box". The "go box" is a fishing tackle box that goes with me with I go shooting - it contains all the components/tools that experience has shown I might need to handle most any problem while out shooting - extra stringer, additional set-up strings, nocking points, feathers, bow square, glue, allen wrenches, scrissors, lighter, extra points, leather scraps, and so on.

I use a 2' X 1 1/2' X 1' tall three layer tackle box.  I keep my bizt, in the bottom along with my three clamps, feathers in the mid layer, it heads and target tips in the next.

It works out great

I have our old dining room table up in the attic - that's my bow room. When I first put it up there I really tried my best to keep everything organized. Now I don't even remember what the table looks like, and it just took me 10 minutes to find my spine tester. I left 1/2 dozen broadheads up there...I think they disappeared into a black hole or something. Luckily, they're Grizzlys that I haven't gotten around to sharpening, so I don't have to worry about finding them accidentally.   :biglaugh:

So far, I need a tackle box for the small stuff and a garage to toss everything else in! You guys have the same system as me.  :smileystooges:

If anyone finds a 'clear' blue plastic broadhead wrench, and/or one of those little finger-ring grain scales... THEY'RE MINE!!!
