Nice job they look great.

One question though....Are your bows stored in a shed? If yes, how do your bows go being out in the shed during summer?

Ok thats good.
The reason that I asked is that my wife wnated me to store my bows in the shed which I refused to do. As I know that in the middle of summer it can get upto 55+ degrees if not hotter, which I thought was way to high for bows to be stored in.

First time I've ever said this of a man-Nice rack, mate!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
