Setting up Your Own Basement Bow Shop
G5 Outdoors is powered by Stone Road Media
It’s probably every bow hunter’s dream. Imagine having all the archery supplies and bow tools you could ever need in your very own bow shop. It would be a place where you could store your hunting bow, various targets, fletching supplies, broadheads, and all the pliers, Allen wrenches, and anything else you could require. Heck, there might even be space to proudly display some antler sheds or European mounts.
Now sure, most of us probably can’t afford to fund a physical retail space just for the fun of it. But you really don’t need to! If you have a basement, spare room, or even a section of your garage you can use, you’ll have all the space you need to have your very own professional-looking bow shop. The only disclaimer we’ll give is to watch out which of your friends you show. You may find that they suddenly want to borrow your tools and space for 80% of the pre-season months. And it will get old.
Ideal Location
The simplest answer to the best location for your shop is anywhere you can fit it! Though we’re calling it a ‘basement bow shop,’ it can really be anywhere. Most of us have a corner of a basement or a section of an insulated garage that we could convert with just a little cleaning and some re-organization. The ideal location should have ample outlets, good lighting, adequate wall space, and be heated so you can work on your bow without getting cold fingers. In extreme cases, it will also have space where you can blind-shoot at targets indoors. Blind-shooting is a greatshooting practice to develop a surprise release. You’ll also need a location where children or pets will steer clear of, if possible. It will just make it easier in the long run.
