I've got a BUNCH of Kustom King cedars from about 20 years ago. They're plasic coat dipped after cresting. I also keep them in an arrow box, and they're straight as can be.

I spray the arrow box with insecticide before storing then tape it shut.

Get a cardboard box that's strong it will do you well. Or make up arrow box's they are easy enough to make up but take more time.

I've been shooting wood arrows ( mostly cedar, but also laminated pine, maple, ash, pine, and douglas fir. ) for 49 years. And making my own wood arrows for over 25 years. I have wood arrows that are 20+ years old and are still as straight as the day I made them. If you make sure the shafts have 7% to 10% moisture content and you seal them completely with a good sealer you will have very very few that will need re-straightened. As far as storage. I store mine in cardboard arrow boxes and I put cedar chips in the boxes to keep the feather eating critters away, then I tape the box shut. The arrows I use a lot I have in pvc pipe for easy access. I spray their feathers lightly with either a cedar spray or Real Kill moth proofer to keep the feather eating critters away. The Real Kill moth proofer protects for approx: 6 months.

Treat them the same way you do aluminum. Leave them in a quiver or a PVC tube stand, or on two pegs on your wall. They wont sag and bend, even they sit that way for months. Good shafting requires very little, if any, straightening. I rarely touch mine.

Bugs RARELY get in the feathers of an arrow. I have feathered arrows that are 30 years old, have never had any bug repellant put on them, and never had a bug on them. And we have plenty of bugs in Texas.
And I would never spary anything I handled as much as I do my arrows with insecticide.
