I am about to put my bow up for the hunting season..
It ends this Saturday
I was wondering about how store your bows safely for the year?
I will be taking it out for practice, don't want it too inaccessible.
Do I need to invest in a case?

I just hang mine up in the closet on a hook.

I store mine in a hard bow case and I keep it under my bed so I know where it is safe and sound. I check on it periodically and clean it on a regular basis, and I'm getting spring fever so I can go back to shooting on a regular basis. Got the Winter Blues!!!

All my archery equipment is downstairs in my unfinished basement; I took two rubber-coated "S" hooks and screwed them into my floor joists a couple feet apart, then hang the bow by the string over the hooks. I'm not worried about this stressing or stretching the string as each hook is less than a quarter-inch from either the cam or the idler.

If you were worried about such a thing, you could just hang it on the hook by the idler, and let the bow hang down naturally.

NO,I don't store it.I shoot it.


I really don't understand why people say they love bowhunting so much and then hide their equipment untill the next season.Heck,my bow gets more use inthe "offseason" than during the hunting season.Go shoot 3-d or something but get it out and use it.


My wife gets really annoyed at my bow leaning against the wall in the bedroom year round.Maybe she should have let me spend the extra money when we built the house to have my own room.[]

I will be shooting mine too..
I am joining a shooting club.
But, this is new for me, this is my first bow... I have been leaning it against the wall in my bedroom & my husband is getting annoyed lol, go figure....
He doesn't bow hunt.. only gun... I took it up this year and love it...

Good for you,annoy him.It's fun and heck,maybe he will see all the fun you are having and join in.There may not be a better family sport out there than archery.I prefer 3-d and my kids and I have a blast.I try to take them with me atleast once a month.I shoot every weekend but I can't put everyone out there through those 2 every weekend.They both started when they were 2 and my daughter is 9 now and my boy is 5.

I agree, go shoot it. Just cause huntings over doesn't mean stop practicing.

Oh yea, and the kid idea, I started mine when they were young and my kids now out shoot me![:@] Thats alright though, the 3-d course gives us alot of bonding time and will fill my heart with memories for the rest of my life.

Now go shoot your bow and stop looking for a place to hide it.

I hang mine in the basement by the wheel, were it's accessible because I use it alot during the off season ,though this off season has been colder than normal so I haven't been able to get much use out of my new Patriot Dually but now it's getting more seasonal I'll shoot some 3D .

STORE MY BOW, HE!! NO. That is a sin in this house. No it usually just stays in a corner by the door to outside. That way it's easy to take it outside to shoot a little.
