Storing arrows - let's see how you do it
« on: April 19, 2010, 04:41:00 PM »
Well my man-cave is a mess &  I have accumulated a lot of finished arrows and shafts, just wondering what you all do out there to store them nice & neat & somewhat orderly. Pictures are nice, I like pictures   :D

I must have about fifty or so pairs of vintage exotic skin cowboy boots they work great. I have lots of brass and copper vases all over the place they work good. If I get a chance I will post a picture of a few of these awesome artsy eagles talons that grasp a bakers dozen. Just gona have to work on those pictures for ya. Mater of fact there are arrows jutting out of everywhere around here..I must not be that orderly either.

5gallon bucket , pvc pipe, or in a quiver.  The 5gallon bucket is nice because you can see all your arrows in one place and know what you do and don't have.  I put the quivers and things with the arrows inside them into the 5gallon bucket but you can put arrows right into it.

5gal buckets with cardboard tubes. I have half a dozen buckets set up this way. One bucket is for flu-flus (around 6doz), another with my wifes arrows, another with stumpers, one with my woodies, one with my alum, and one for my son in laws arrows.

I have a few of these....

   

I used to just keep them in arrow tubes but if the tube is kept horizontal then the fletchings would get squashed.

You can get more details on that stand here...

They are made in the UK, but I'm pretty sure that they can be flat packed and shipped anywhere in the world.

This is an arrow box I made for storing arrows.

 
This is an example of one you can buy on a bid site.

David, you are my hero.  I have a similar system but your attention to detail is quite evident!
Kudos! :notworthy:

pvc tubing overhead... all sizes of alum and wood shaft appropriate to my weight range of 22# to 45#, mostly all with a dozen made up, so I can select appropriately for each new bow.

Darn - some of you guys are so organized!
I have some cardboard tubes I duct taped together so they stand up alone. Try to sort them by weight/type etc as much as possible.

I have the one tube full of broken arrows I save for spare parts. Anyone save arrows for spare parts?

It's the little things. I'm not showing my storage "system" because there isn't one. But now I have some ideas at least. I like the drilled holes and all in a row, but the 20 Litre pail(metric in Canada) has a certain appeal.
