I try to shoot year round but sometimes work doesn't permit it. When i'm not going to be able to shoot for a week or two i usually just stick mine in the gun safe.

Mine is at the ready, year round. I practice in all weather conditions. Recently, I have noticed quite an increase in my local coyote population. I'm gonna take the challenge of a new form of hunting for myself. Have been doing a lot of study on the critters and am getting ready to start thinning the pack. I don't like the way they have been terrorizing my deer and aim to do a little leveling of the field.

I do not really store mine for more than a day or two at a time. I have two bows at the moment. The one that I don't plan on using anytime soon is placed in my hard bow case and stored in my equipment closet. The other is in a soft case because I take it out and use it much more often.

Hunting season was over 2 weeks ago and mine is still in my truck!!

When I get around to taking it out, it will either go in the garage or in my gun cabinet. Depends on how lazy I am that day.

I got a bow rack that holds my bow and a dozen arrows. I just hang it in my basement. Once this cold weather passes[:@] I'll be able to get out and shoot again so I never really "put it up."

I hang mine in my down stairs closet. I have a rubber coated hook which I insert through one of the holes in the riser. Don't know about hanging by the wheel or string.

Also the boy and I are getting up early and driving for an hour tomorrow morning to shoot at an indoor range for an hour or two.

I got five other bows to shoot during the off season. 3D rig, back up 3D rig ,spot bow, don't shoot the hunting bow unless I'm hunting. they all hang in the closet though..

All year long I just let my bows hang on hooks by the idler wheel .... in my hunting area in my unfinished basement. When I go hunting then it goes in the case if I'm traveling to hunt, or I just carry it outside if I'm hunting at home.

I used to keep mine in the case where I could get to it easy because I shoot year round. Learned a hard lesson this year came home from work a few weeks ago and found my house broken into and my bow gone, my new matthews stays in the gun safe
