carrying your bow on your atv

I'M LOOKING FOR A WAY TO SECURE MY BOW TO THE RACK ON MY QUAD. ANYBODY GOT ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

 

 

 

THANKS,

I put it in my case and use cargo netting. nothing fancy but works for me. I also started putting something soft under my sight so there's no pressure on it (had 1 break before). I have an old fleece scarf I use.

Years ago I used to do something similar to what naturegirl mentioned. I had a hard case and I just used crank type bike straps to bind it to the front of my quad. It protected my bow very well from anything that might hit it on the trail and from shock. However one time when I came back to my bike my nice expensive hard bow case was gone. I always took it off the quad and slid it underneath when I left to hunt. Never thought I should have to lock it down. That was a lesson learned. I suppose if you bolted it down which was I thought I had you would reduce the theft of it but I used that bow case to fly out of state with and really didn’t want bolt holes in my nice case.

 

Now I use a combination of bow limb holders fore quads, a bungee and cheap swimming pool noodles folded in half and camo covered that works pretty awesome. I will get a picture of it and post it tonight. I found that just bow limb holders still allowed too much movement to my liking on the trail.

Thieves suck man, was it a pelican case?

I cant remeber what case it was but it was rated to be aircraft worthy. Really strong heavy case with good locks on it also. At the time I thinkit was a $250.00 case. It was foamed deep to handle shock. I have a new one now I replaced it with but it's not as nice as that one was.

Regular ol' forked gun rack type mounts, with the extra shock cushioning. Never had a problem with a bow with this setup.

$25 Plano plastic bow case from WalMart bungeed to the front rack. protects the bow and whatever else you can cram in there.
