Custom Arrow Stand By WAC Archery Products
Reviewed By Steve , 13 November 2009
I have seen folk slinging their arrows in the boot of a car without any protection, I imagine they get home and throw them in a pile in the shed - I am the complete opposite, I take a great deal of care making and storing my arrows, it seems daft to spend time and money on possibly the most important item of archery kit and then not look after them.
Generally most folks store their arrows in boxes or cases, I have in the past had an unhappy experience when storing them that way - the boxes are great for transportation but if the grooves, grommets or foam is not accurately spaced you could find like I did that your prettiest, straightest and newest arrows have been bent and now all posess a curve in them - not the end of the world as generally an arrow with just one bend can be straightened fairly easily. However, I can do with out that.
Any arrow racks or stands that I have seen in the past tend to be home made affairs with little in the way of styling, something this handsome stand does possess.
This smart little rack from WAC takes up just a small footprint of 7.25"X"14.5"but has the capacity to hold 48 (four dozen) arrows, I know you know how many 4 dozen is I just wanted to emphatically illustrate how many arrows they have managed to get in to such a small space without crowding the arrows together, my boots take up more space than that !
It is made from Polycarbonate and the edges of the top have been bevelled to a pleasing curve with no sharp or hard edges, as has the base. The top guide holes will take an arrow up to 23/64", all the smaller sizes fit well too. The base has a pilot indent which locates, captures and holds the point ensuring that the arrows stay perfectly upright.
Not only is the stand utilitarian but it does make a rather nice feature from your favourite arrows.

| Features & Design |  |
| Combining functionality with quality materials and build along with styling and design flair. We like it. | |
| Performance | |
| Looks good, keeps arrows straight and takes up only a small space. | |
| Value for Money | |
| You would probably spend more buying some wood and messing about yourself. | |
| Overall | |
| The real test is whether the wife will now allow the arrows in the house !! - mine have made it in to the den, which is a bit of a coup and well worth the money. Now I can look at my arrows whilst messing on the PC, an easy 5* | |

Ordered my ‘WAC’ rack after seeing the very first production model. Top quality and does exactly what it says on the tin! Solid & stable polycarb construction, this rack can also be used for re-pointing or retouching cosmetic detail on arrows as each arrow is well supported and not jammed in close to others. Takes both my 23/64’s & 11/32’s. A timely, stylish & innovative bit of kit that no doubt will be sought after when the word gets out! I’m sure you won’t regret this purchase…get yours now!

Got mine for Christmas and really pleased, ordering another at the end of the month – it is as good as they say.

Glad you guys like them, I have just ordered 2 myself. When you spend so much time and effort making nice arrows it makes sense that you should store them correctly when not in use.
