LifeNRA Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Is there any special way you all store your bows for a long period of non use? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? use mine year round but for times like right now when i don't feel like hiking through the snow to shoot at my target, it just sits in its case in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? I pretty much shoot my bow 12 months a year too. When I'm not using mine it is hanging on the wall on a bow hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? Like RUTTINBUCKMAN said, I think storing it in the case would be best but I'm with the others...I'm not storing mine. I plan on shooting as much as I can. Practice! Practice! Practice!

LifeNRA Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? I wont be shooting all year round, Just dont feel like dragging everything around in the snow! LOL!!! Maybe if I join the local archery club I might! But is there anything extra you do to your bow while its sitting in the case? I thought I read somewhere you turn the poundage back to its minimal setting. Also, anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? 3 of mine are hanging on my bow rack because I shoot all year long. One of my old compound bows is stored in a case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antlers21 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? I store mine for about 2 months and I leave it in the case in a dry climate. Always wax the strings which you should be doing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzorp Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: Storage Question??? Unfortunately I don't have the resources or time to shoot year round, but if I did I'd be at it every chance I got. I hang mine on a wall hook, poundage turned back three turns on each limb, I also make sure to give them a once over every other weekend, making sure strings are waxed.
