    Mine and my wife's bow stay in my Legend Archery Double Two bow case. In the mornings they go to my office. In the evening they come home.

    I keep mine either in a case or sitting in my back room. I have a lot of money invested in my bow. I take care of it.

    I'm very anal about how my bow is treated. I keep it in a hard case when I'm not shooting it or hunting. I keep cilica beads inside the case. I will not leave it in anything that gets really hot or really cold unless I'm using it at the time. I take care of Ethel and she takes care of me.

    Mine hangs on a hook in the off season. About mid August I keep in in the plano case as I'm shooting a lot more and getting ready for season.

    In a Plano hard case behind my family room couch. Knowing me, if it was kept in a soft case something terrifying would happen

    Whichever bow I'm not going to be using for a while hangs on a hook I put in my gun cabinet. The other is in a Plano hard case.

    Typically above my bed on a hook. I just bought a nice Plano case for it though. It'll say there for Sep-dec.

    I love it! But if that's true, you either aren't married or, you married the woman most guys on this site would like to be married too!

    Mine stays in a hard case in my bedroom closet. Not much humidity out here but elements of any kind usually do more harm than good.

    current bow in a soft case in the closet. backup bows are in the hard case I use to travel with...also in the closet. In Florida the garage is a 100 or more and is too hot..that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it....

    I would like to find some way to display my bow while it hangs in my office/hunting room. Ive seen some pretty cool methods. currently i used a rubber coated hook in the top of a glass gun cabinet. Will post pics when i get a chance.

    Ignore the wall paper. I do. Lol. It was here when we bought the place. We'll get it removed...... eventually.

    One of the bow piles. (At least my backup bowtech is in the camo hard case)

    With all the time and money I spend on bowhunting my most crucial piece of equipment hangs on a designated hook in my closet!! Not risking anything happening to it.

    Amen these things are expensive as it is. And they like anything else are susceptible to the elements eventually, mainly heat. My bow stays up in my spare room up stairs hanging on the wall. During season I keep all my kit ready to go in that appropriate cases.

    If you live in the south west or east never ever leave your bow in a hot car, or truck.
