Care to post any pics of your archery room?
In light of my current project I'm knee-deep in, I'd like to see how many members we could get to snap some photos of their archery rooms/work areas...
Number one, I'd love to be able to steal/integrate some of your cool ideas if I could...
And Number two, I know I absolutely LOVE seeing other people's stuff like that on here. I can think of when Rob posted some pics of his absolutely georgeous log house on here; how cool was that?
Anyway, if you'd like to share, please feel free...
I'll try to get some pics of mine up soon, even though it's in progress...

Unfortunately, my "archery room" is my kitchen table. Living in an apartment I don't have the space for some such room. I look forward to seeing other's as well. Some guys really have some nifty ideas on decorating "The Man's Room." I, too, would like to steal some ideas, because some day soon......I'll have that house. Good post, Greg.

RE: Care to post any pics of your archery room?
Here's how mine's coming in its beginning stages...
Gotta give props to Huntingnet ya know, with the big sticker on the door and the Huntingnet hat in the upper right-hand corner!
The 2x4 you see on the wall separating the OSD board and the pegboard runs the full length of both walls, and is secured in at every stud with two nails blown in with an air nailer. It'll serve as part of the main support for my countertop, which is currently laying in the next room. I pulled a major coup on that one; went to buy some oak plywood and found a distributor willing to sell to me who normally supplies all the local cabinet makers. I bought a pre-finished maple, cabinet-grade piece of 1/2" plywood and had it ripped in half for my counter. It's absolutely beautiful; I can't wait to get it in there in front of that wood-grain pegboard.
I love being able to hang up all my Seat O' The Pants harnesses and keep them straight and untangled...
Unfortunately, I've got a work trip taking me out of town for the next four days, so I won't be able to get any more done on it fora while. And that's the reason I made this post; hopefully when i get back, I'll have lots of ideas to incorporate before I finish it!

Dang it Greg, you're too organized. My archery room is a 10X7 hole in the back of my basement. I'll take a pic later. My clothes are in tubs, some labeled some not. Trash everywhere. My little piece of heaven...lol. My wife has approved an indoor downstairs range. I firgure I can get a 15 yard lane in there, but it's a wreck right now. I have too much stuff, and not just my hunting stuff.
I wish I had an organized area like that, that's my plan, but other household projects are taking precedence. Greg, you and hardcore, have nice areas...way to go.

RE: Care to post any pics of your archery room?
Great thread. I too am looking for ideas. I have plenty in my head but it's always great to see others because I'l also steal/borrow incorporate some of the ideas seen here into mine when I build it when I finish off my basement. As for now, until I finish the garage, I'm not allowed to finish off the basement. It's a little further along that this pic, the roof is done. This year I hope to install the garage doors and windows and frame the exterior in preparation to log siding it to "match" the house.
So again, until I'm done putting $ into the garage, I'm almost embarrassed to show my basement....I do have Superior Walls, 9' in preparation of finishing off the whole basment. The logs in the background will be a log bar/kitchenette area. I can't wait.
And just for spite. [8D] Sometimes I sit in front of the fireplace to work on my bows.
