The Basics of Building a Compound Bow Rack
The materials you will need to build a rack for your compound bow are fairly simple and should be available at any home improvement store. You will need the following items:
- 2 pieces of pressure-treated 2” x 4”
- 2 pieces of plywood
- Screws
- Paint or sealant (optional)
Steps to Building a Compound Bow Rack
Step 1: Prepare the wooden frame
Cut the two pieces of pressure-treated wood into two equal lengths – the length of each will depend on how wide you wish the rack to be. Then, drill four holes into the end of each piece of wood – two in the top and two in the bottom. You can do this with a spade bit or a forstner bit for a cleaner look.
Step 2: Attach the plywood
Place the pieces of plywood on top of the frame and use screws to attach them securely. Make sure that the edges of the plywood line up exactly with the edges of the frame.
Step 3: Secure the frame to the wall
Place the frame and plywood against the wall where you would like to hang your rack and mark the locations of the four holes you drilled in the frame. Remove the frame, pre-drill the holes, and use screws to secure the frame to the wall.
Step 4: Hang the bow
Hang your bow up and you’re done! You may also want to paint or seal the frame in order to protect it from the elements.
Building a homemade compound bow rack is a simple and affordable way to organize and show off your bow. With a few basic materials, a bit of time, and some know-how, you can have your bow hung up and ready for display in no time. And, with a bit of creativity, you can even customize the rack to match the décor of your home or man cave.
Conclusion
Building a compound bow rack is a great way to store and show off your bow. With some basic materials and know-how, it’s easy to create a customized rack to suit your specific needs. If you have a compound bow, consider building a DIY bow rack and make your bow a part of your home decor.
Homemade Compound Bow Rack
I wanted to make a rack to hang my compound bow on,but didn’t want to spend a lot of money on it.
The wood is the cheap pine 1x2s from lowes and with the hinges included I spent less than 13 dollars making this.
This could be a great bow rack made with red oak or some other quality wood.
If there is any interest I will make a new one with a better type of wood and I will make another video with better instructions and much better video footage,just comment below and let me know.
My video making skills are sub par but I think you will get the basic idea of the build.
