How Do You Store Your Xbow?
Hey all. Wondering how you go about storing your xbow when not in use. My Matrix 350LE does not fit in my gun safe. I have been just stashing it away and out of site when away from the house for a few days. Been thinking about using a bike lock or something like that to anchor it down. Enough to deter the average break and enter. Any thoughts on this?

I built a fake wall inside one of my closets .put all my guns/bows in there if I go away ..it was not hard to do i cut gun rack type base just like gun cabinet ..CAMERAS mean very little everyone wears a mask now...

Put 2 nails in an open beam stud in the ceiling of my basement at distance equal to the inside of the stirrup. This is in the corner of my hunting room.
I take the string off and hang up for the 9 months when it's not hunting season. I use small bungees on each side to make sure it does not come off nails.
During hunting season I just store in closet in the Matrix case.
Not concerned with theft, since if someone breaks into my house, they have already proven a total disregard for the first level of security and are on their way to violating anything else in their way and gathering whatever they want.
Most likely and hopefully, no one will be home at the time.
If I am home, I will ask them to remove their mask (since everyone wears a mask these days LOL) and call 911 or shoot them if they come at me, and not with a crossbow.

I screw hooks in the bottom the rafters in my man cave,, a detached garage I use for all my hunting gear, as well as fishing and reloading gear. There is a large walkin in one corner just for hunting clothes in rubbermaid tubs.
The bow is hung from the stirrup when not being used. I never remove the string unless I am changing it,, my bows are shot year round!

My Exomax is stored in a closet in a spare bedroom. I have it standing vertically secured with bungee cords with the string off. This keeps it out of the way and out of harms way.
During hunting season I keep it stringed and in a soft case.

Mine is hung on the man cave wall still strung. I never know when the urge to shoot a dozen arrows will strike so it has stayed strung for six years with zero loss of speed.

Both are hanging from the bottom of the floor joists in the basement...string on.

It won't fit in your gun safe if you remove the riser from the rail? Surely it will
