I always use my truck on jaunts.  Feel much better than in my wife's Mini Cooper. Plenty of room in the Mini but tired of looking at rear bumpers on a long drive.

Just a thought on PVC tubes.  I feel in the past I have had a couple bows come apart after leaving them in a PVC tube in the bed of my truck. If left in the sun, the tube becomes like an oven.

Gordon, that was a concern of mine. I have a Montana and I bought a Flambeau fishing pole holder to transport it in the back of my truck. Too afraid to even use it except in early mornings. In the bed of my black truck, with a black bedliner in a black plastic tube. This really makes me lean towards a take-down for my next bow.
Life can be complicated. Hunting shouldn't be.

When I drive my old truck they go in the bed, It has a Bestop cover. If it goes in the cab or in my Subaru I just lean it against the front seat with one end in the floor. I usually transport it unstrung in a cloth cover. For short trips to the hunting spot it might be uncovered and strung if I've been shooting it. But never for long trips to a shoot.
