Default offseason

I am just curious what the proper way is to store your bow during the offseason. If there is any special way in what do do it or any plans for a rack that can be easily built? any suggestions would be great.

I just wax the string and put it in the case. Don't worry, I don't shoot in the winter either. I'm too pretty to subject my fair skin to cold weather if it isn't absolutely necessary

During my "offseason" I sit in a treestand with the bow hanging on a hook or laying across the front bar of the stand. The rest of the year I shoot my bows. Got too much money tied up in them to just let them lay around.
