Bow Storage

[not_nuf_time]

Hi, wondering where you guys store your bows for winter, if in garage is ok, or will it harm limbs and strings from being to cold? I do try to keep it out of overly warm conditions in the summer.

The best thing is to keep it out and handy so you can shoot indoor leagues and 3D shoots all winter. If you MUST put it away, the garage should not pose a problem.

I agree with Donbo keep it out! It will always remind you of next season and you will get the itch to shoot 3-d's

Just be aware of mice when you store it, I've heard stories of them chewing strings up. I usually have mine in the garage on a vise during the season and even that makes me nervous.

Why not store it in a closet in your home. Put it in a hard case, and put it back in a corner of a closet. That way every 2-3 months or so you can take it out and look at it make sure it isn't developing any rust or any problems aren't developing on it. Plus, if you want to go shoot indoor it is right there ready for you to pick up.

Closet is a good idea, and is where I would put it if I HAD ANY ROOM. How come all the guys stuff gets squeezed out always, two yrs ago I bought a 10x10 shed for my sporting stuff. Well, its now full of bird stuff, yard stuff, xmas tree, wagons, shovels, coolers, lawn mowers,stuff now I can barely get my Yukon fish house out when I want to go ice fishing. I know you all know what I'm saying. Thanks for the opinions on if its alright to store in garage if it wont hurt bow I'm alright leaving it there.

Get a couple of hooks and hang it on the wall. They make a nice wall ornament.

It should be fine outside. Years ago when the limbs were made of wood I would suggest you not.. But inside you will not have to deal with moisture as much.. That would be the one thing that may not be good about outside in the garage. I would hate to get any rust or anything on the wheels or axels. Maybe if you have to store it outside I would try and get some of those silica packets or something.

I may also turn the bow down in weight a bit.. again, not needed per say, but probably a good idea.

Just make sure to have the string on her side that way you can turn on your side and spoon the limbs.

Yes, storage can be an issue. I have stuff stored all over and some things not even stored at home.
