I would love to see some pics and suggestions on riding with your one piece longbows.

I built a rigid frame last year ,I don't think my longbow can stand a ride on that bumpy thing!!

Don't have any pics, but I had 3 bows strapped on the side of my Gold Wing to go to the big 3D shoot in Vanderpool, TX a couple years ago. I used bungees to tie one end to the helmet lock under the trunk and the other end to the rear crash bar.

Bisch, good to hear from you I was thinking about riding my bike to Vanderpool if I could find a good way to carry my longbow. Bill

No problem!

I still like the idea of an old school LONG chopper sissy bar with the bows strapped to it. If you got real creative you could attach a couple flags to the top of the bow case and put them in the wind!!

The rider, the bow, a bear and a Harley. Don't get any better.

I either use a 3-piece takedown in a case strapped across the rear seat on my Harley or a longbow in a PVC pipe held almost vertical with the lower end rubber banded to the rear foot peg and the upper to the sissy bar. I'd probably get less weird looks if I hung a flag on it.

I shot the bear with a bow and had a taxidermist put the bear head over a helmet.

I just strap the bow on the trunk rack.
The bow is a whole lot easier to put on the bike than the deer.

Thanks for asking this question... I don't feel so bad for trying to figure out the same thing. So many neat places to shoot and don't want to give up riding my scoot to get there.... certainly can't get myself to trade the hills in on a 3-piece.

I was worried about the heat, but after I broke my leg I road with my crutches strapped to the side. Velcro strap between passenger footpeg and the rear turn signal. I ziptied some no-skid mat from the tool box around the rear turn signal,
