Question for those of you who use ATV's, what do you do with your bow? I don't own an ATV or plan on getting one since my legs and feet work just fine. While working at our lease today I was looking at one of the member's ATV. He had a set of bow/gun holders on the front rack and I looked at them and laughed thinking that if I put my longbow in a set of those I'd wind up with it wrapped around a tree. It would stick a foot or more off each side of the bike.

I don't carry a bow or gun on mine, but I do carry a lot of other stuff like limb trimmers, shovels, stick ladders.............. What I do is put a pair of gun holders on the front rack closer to the handle bars, and a pair on the back closer to the seat. I put them out to the far edge left and right. They will take most shorter stuff across a rack. For long stuff I turn the holder around 90 deg. and run stuff front to back. It will lay under the handle bars and outside my leg that way. I do that a lot with my long pole trimmer and that runs about 60-64" I think.

I see you are in Louisiana. I bet a longbow would make a great spiderweb catcher, and if you've been on an ATV around here, you know what I mean.

That is why they make take down bows. I built a rack on the top of my atv to carry my canoe, and it also makes a fine place to put my longbow.

I have a very long and thick gun case that I use for my muzzleloaders I just un-string my bow slide it into the case and strap it down on the back rack facing forward works great......stabow

The horizontal gun rack. If the trail gets too narrow, I pick the bow up and hold it alongside or vertical and drive one handed. That happens very seldom, where I hunt I use the atv to get through the really wet stuff, after that, I walk (wade) LOL John
