    Probably about $35 for everything.

    Great work! I made one of these myself, not quite as big as this, but it does the trick for 2 bows. One thing I did for mine though, is drilled holes in the pvc where it connects on the bottom, and put a bolt with a wing nut through it. That way, I can fold it up for storage, or traveling.

    I was trying to think of a way to do this when I build mine. Can you post pics of how you did it? I may have to steal your idea

    Yep, might not be until next week though. I have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me, and for some reason, taking pictures as I was building it wasn't on my mind, hahaha.

    Nice set up. I'm looking for one I found online last year which was collapsable. Do the slots for the arrows get in the way when placing and removing your bow on the stand?

    Yes they can. If I'm shooting by myself I just use the opposite side to hold the arrows. When I was building it I thought that might be a problem and almost placed the holders at the ends of the feet. Kinda wished I had.

    Pastorjim I loved this idea so much I decided to take my Sunday afternoon and make one myself. I changed the top a little and made the sections that hold the bows a little smaller so there wouldn't be any interference with the bow and the arrows. I think it turned out pretty nice!

    I love the changes you made. I almost put elbows at the end of the feet and placed the arrow holders there. I really like your colors too.

    I have actually been looking for those little plastic beverage holders that hang from your car window so I could add them to my stand, but I haven't been able to find any. I also like your idea with the pipe insulation on the bow holder arms.
