There was a post about a bow rack some time ago, I couldn't find it but someone may know where to look.

I made my bow racks by converting a couple of Gun racks to conform with the shape of the bow limbs, it was easy....

ha time machine. I just looked at that rack of mine (top link) stickbow posted. wow has it grown since then or what... the furry skin is long gone (gave it to my bro) and instead of two there is about 10 bow rack there now.

quick n simple.non artsy
two uprights these screw into the noggins of a house wall(use ya stud finder) I slightly stagger them one slightly higher than the other for looks.

into the uprights we drill holes for some dowels, job done
or by some door stoppers at bunnings and screw em into the uprights.

"the stick maybe crooked and the string hath no form,
then married by bowyer, transforms when first drawn"
