How would you carry your bow on Mountain bike

[shootanfish]

I have wanted to use a bike for the longest time. I have a nice bike with disk brakes. I shoot a dream season EVO.I have talked to many people about it. Just trying to brain storm on the best methods. I have seen scabbards for bows mounted on bikes. Some use back packs, but that has got to be awkward. Others use trailers. I have seen of people doing this any ideas will be usefull.

back pack !

On my back. I have a basic bow sling that works just fine.

i prefer backpack mounted and vertically, better if its one that has the set up for holding a bow already but not hard to make work with straps and bungees. If you ride with a trailer, that would be the safest method of transport. I have also seen the quad gun mounts up front on the handle bars. In terms of not ruining your bow in case of wipe out there isnt many options other than a hard case. I consider having it on the handle bars the most risky of the methods.

I use bow holders on my bars. Rubber and quiet and in front of you at all times. Easy in and out while standing also.

To the back packers. Any problem with hitting the bow cams on the bike or does the pack carry the bow high enough?

I used those too. They torqued too much for me on bumpy trails and moved around. For me the backpack works better.

No problems here

ATV gun rack is the best method I have found.  Plus you can get to it easily.  Never had a problem with the bow moving around as long as I used the bungee that are attached. I think Icdeadelk is refering to the same thing. http://www.atv-toys.com/all-rite-atv-pack-rack-plus-gun-rack.htm

Yes that is what I use. The bow does move a bit but I like it in front of me cause I look like a tard trying to get my pack off when I see animals. Pretty funny stuff.

I've seen those. They look pretty cool but I'm afraid they'd catch on vegetation if you are riding wooded trails. No?
