Organizational skills
« on: January 15, 2012, 02:31:00 PM »
How do you keep all your "stuff" organized?

Now we all have seen bow/arrow racks.

I am talking about tips, nocks, and glue and everything else.......

I was thinking about getting a big Tacklebox I would like to hear or see other suggestions.
Relax,

I use a medium tackle box (need a bigger one) and just try to keep everything else nearby.

You can kinda see it in this pic...

I have quite a few of the Plano plastic fishing tackle organizer trays that I keep all of those things in.

That looks suspiciously like my leather working bench. What's wrong with that?

I get the cheap plastic draws and plastic shoe boxes at Wally World. The shoe box works great for broadheads, fill with foam.

I went to Harbor Freight and got two different boxes one is 24" long and 3" deep and 4" wide,it has seperators(I took them out) and I store feathers in it. The other is a front face opening type with 5 small storage trays(that have lids) and all the nocks,heads,glue,and razor blades ect. go in these. The top opens and has a medium deep storage for other stuff. The whole box id about 12" high 8" wide by 5" across. Bothe boxes can fit in any gearbag for a road trip. Total cost was under $25.00

Organization? you mean like the wife finding field points in her jewelry box? Hope she never brushes her teeth with my fletch-tite! Seriously I usually can put my hands on what I need but I wouldn't want to put a pic of my tackle box up for public viewing.

Cyclic rivers, looks good to me.  What's wrong in those pictures?  I don't see a problem.    :bigsmyl:

I shove it all in my corner of the closet. Cept the broadheads, they're locked up to keep it away from the kid.

Charlie-here is where I store some of my trad gear! I hope to make a new bow rack here this winter and get better at organizing all my gear! Great thread! Thanks!

A buddy gave me a big tackle box with lots of drawers and moveable dividers with a fold open top. Just had to clean all the melted rubber worms out of it but it works great. When I go moose hunting I toss it in the truck and am set for anything from fixing arrows to making and serving strings.

I bought me a 12'x24' out building and am in the process of finishing the inside. I have all my mounts in it, and built a workbench to work on my bows, arrows, etc.. I keep everything on my bench, and have what I need to take with me in a tool box that I can pick up and carry.

Believe me fellas, it doesn't always look that neat!

I just happened to clean up the shop the other day.

It's a one bay garage that's a taxidermy shop/archery shop/storage unit/"Mr. fix it" shop/etc...

Believe, it gets ugly in there at times    :scared:
