Daniel,
Once it's on the rack, there's no problem. Getting it to the rack can be problematic. That long tube is a dead give away!
1. when the postman shows up in the driveway, it's hard to explain away.
2. even if I go pick it up, I still have to carry the bow and/or the tube into the house.
3. when I am playing with my new toy, I always get the question, "I don't remember that bow. Is it a new one?"
I am lucky, though, because my wife is into horses. She accepts that I won't harass her about horses if se doesn't nag me about bows and hunting.
