Archers? - a Question

I'm not sure how many men (or women) are into archery on this site, either hunting or target shooting, but... those that are:

How do *YOU* store your bows? And do you shoot recurve, compound, long-bow?

I presently own 3 recurves and a compound. The compound is easy enough, it has it's own carry case. And once it's warm enough that I can head out to try it ... I might decide to sell it to my brother (depends if the weight is adjustable as claimed or not). But I've always just leaned mine in a corner due to no proper place to put them.

Do you store them horizontally? vertically? Strung, unstrung?

I found a cute, slightly artsy (but not very), wall hanging coat rack online which I think will work perfectly for hanging them unstrung, vertically. Just wondering what others might do for storage.

Some of the bow racks out there get crazy elaborate and I don't need one to hold arrows (that's what the quiver's for) and I don't need one to hold 6 - 12 bows as I'm a bit limited on space. Just something nice, simple, low-space, get's the job done.

And no, I do not hunt. Just target archery. Though my mom has been hounding me for years to get my archery hunting license so she can have venison. Her and ex husband don't share.

 You can get cases for them at any archery shop. Sturdy ones that have a foam padding. As for the arrows, I believe there are storage quivers as well. I prefer recurve. I like the primitiveness (is that even a word?) of it.

Yes that's a word (and I just typed it to see if spell check yelled at me or not just to be doubly certain lol). Actually I've heard "primitive" used for older fashioned bows.

 I can see you as Diana, goddess of the hunt. Good fit!

 Do you quiver with all you're beau's arrows? Women of medieval times
were drawn to the long beau's,not so much their arrows.That's what a gal told me when the traveling renaissance troupe came through town.I asked if she was a lady in waiting and she said she was waiting to be promoted from a rat catcher
to the leather mug maker!So I guess that's a source.
Using more than all the road!

All my beau's wished I quivered with their arrows

It's enough, for now, that I quiver with anticipation.
