Great topic! I have been thinking about building one as well. That is a neat design. Let me know how it paddles.

The design I am playing with will mount longways on the front.

Just bought a kayak and was thinking of that very same thing.Mine is a sit-in type also but didn't want to keep my longbow in the hull.I'll probably mount mine long ways also.

i thought about going long way too and i might build it if my limbs get caught on brush.

That looks good. You should be able to hit some great spots with that setup.

Great job...that should work out fine!! Let us know what you think after to put it to the test!

Looks really cool. The only thing I see missing is tie down straps. Kayaks roll by design and maybe bows float, but with quivers? I had a bad experience with a fly rod in a kayak once. Thank God it was a spring loaded reel and I got it back easily.

I hadn't considered that.Imagine the sinking feeling!

Any closeups?

In Louisiana, you wouldn't be able to afford to exceed the width of the yak. lol

I'd mount it longways, straight in the middle and lay it on it's side.

Did you glue those caps on? You could easily make a rod holder for trolling with a couple of 45 elbows and probably an adapter to get the pipe size up a little. You would have to turn the rack like it is in the bottom picture to point the rods towards the back. Then you would have a combination trolling rig and bow holder.

Good idea gregg...i do have some rod holders though, i just have to install the base for the rod holder into the yak

That looks good. And then just bungee it onto the rack. I am interested to see if it's out of the way of the paddle. Looks like it.

thats cool!

"The adult erector set." Good one. I'm looking at that and wondering about a bow holder for my mountain bike. Gotta get some pvc and give it a go.
