Get some 1x4s, drill some holes and put pegs in them. Space them how ever far apart you want them. Hang vertically and make sure the pegs on both 1x4s line up level. Then just hang your bows across the 2 pegs. I would mke them longer than just for the 2 bows so you can add more bows and it will also give you a place to hang your quivers, hats and other gear.

With quivers on, I would put the pegs at the fade outs, not near the tips, to reduce any chance of limb twist. Better yet, hang the quivers seperatly.

I wish now that I made it 2 or 3 more pegs down so I can add more bows. My pegs are about 6 inches long so I can put 2 bows on set of pegs. You can also space each roll so that you can hang which ever bow you want while is strung up.

Heres mine the pegs are thick enough to do two bows per rack. Three bows on it a bow that was given to me really inexpensive bow and my prized grizzly and my new Patriot. Bottom is left flat so I can add a 1"x 6" if I want with another set of pegs. Finished with minwax weathered oak and poly.

Might be a bit of a hillbilly, I,'ve taken to using handrail brackets, hanging bows around the house. Let's me hang em by the string, just enough of a hook that it,d take a pretty good earthquake or a tsunami to move em. White brackets, don't stand out like a sore thumb against the white walls.

Thanks Muttly would have done that but when bow arrived along with care instructions it stated that the bow should not be hung from the string don't know why they suggested this but will adhere to their advice

I ended up with one more recurve than i had a place for a few weeks ago.
I just did this yesterday. I built a rack system very similar to the one Shedhunter is using a scrap 1x4ish board and a few dowel pegs. I drilled my holes and set the pegs so they have a slight, less than 5 degree lift to them, to keep the bows gravitating toward the wall. The best wall space i had was above the closet door. If I had had a little larger diameter dowel handy, i would have used it for the pegs.
