How do you store your broadheads?
« on: February 16, 2013, 09:51:00 PM »
Looking for ideas to store my broadheads. How do you do it?  Pics would be great!

I store mine in a block of ethefoam. Works good. Does not dull the quickly. Though after time they do need touch up after long periods of time as do heads stored in any medium.

Glued to the end of my hunting arrows.  No pictures but you can kind of imagine it.

I shoot fixed blade w/insert. Light coat of petroleum jelly applied to edge with Q-tip, affixed to my arrows, in plastic arrow holders, in an arrow box, under my bench on top of the desk. No dust-No rust. Simple as that.

Should have specified ones that aren't on the end of my arrows I guess.

I dropped my heads off to a guy that sharpens knives.  When I picked them up he had 2 wine bottle corks with three heads stuck into each.  Works great in the Tupperware container I took them in.  The heads are separated and don't touch anything but the very end of the point stuck in the cork.

Very similar to FERRETWYO.   I cut a 6x12x4" thick piece of ethafoam and slip my heads into it.   After the initial cut the heads are very secure and don't dull.   I label the foam for different types and wieghts.

I wrap them in a layer of tissue and put them in old pill bottles.

Once sharp, I coat the edges with a sharpie marker to prevent rust, and store in the foam. I can put lots of Sharks in this box.

I have one of those plastic drawer cabinets sold at Walmart. I put soft foam in the drawer bottom and spread broadheads out on it.

I had an old 2 wine bottle gift box made of wood. Line the bottom with a 1 - 1.5 inch piece of foam a hoarded from a computer box. I can store about 24 plus. Can't post pics.

I have been saving the orininal packaging. Before hunting I coat with petroleum jelly. I really like the idea bowwild said of a clear plastic drawer with heads laying on foam but I like to shoot 2 blades... maybe even making layers of heads,foam,heads,etc. you could write head info on side. could use cardboard or thin venere type wood to assist in lifting out different layers out. The plastic containers come in all different sizes and shapes... so i think I just talked myself into a new winter project! Thanks guys. lol

Cigar box's work great with foam in the bottom!
 If you don't smoke(I don't myself) and you have a cigar shop nearby just stop in and ask them if they will let you have a few empty cigar box's to use and they just may give you a dozen...I have quite a few a tentant where I work gave me and I store broadheads,nocks,points and just about something in all of them...Most of the box's are made from rosewood or something and has no smoke smell ...The box's could hold about a dozen heads if you line the box with foam...

On my arrows or stuck in foam. I also have a bunch scattered around my tackle box that I need to organize...

You guys are waaaaaay more organized that me.  I have them stored in drawers in my indoor work room. I resharpen them before every hunt anyway so it I suppose it doesnt really matter where or how I store them.

I just have a small drawer in my archery cabinet that I throw the loose ones in. The rest are glued on arrows and stored in a travel box or a bucket. I sharpen them when I'm ready to hunt.
