I Picked up one  of the Granite Gear Nimbus Core packs, open center section carrys rifle or bow while I bike. Cool pack, also the granite gear belts use molle webbing so you can attach the Kifaru gun bearer, which i believe also can pocket the end of a bow. Price is right for a great pack, $210 at BC with unlimited return policy or i got mine off ebay for $125 (new).

Any pack and a couple Bungee cords will do the job.

It is what you meant it to be...

Alps Outdoorz Pursuit has been a winner for me. They just revised this model with the Falcon that has a dual aluminum stay that is more stable. For the money their hard to beat and you can buy 2 of them to 1 Badlands or Eberlstock.

The x2 is awesome unless your tall or have a long torsoe. I'm 6'4" and I'm bumbed that it wouldn't fit right. Under $200 less than 5lbs rated at 2300ci now and can carry an elk quarter. What else could you ask for?

Here is second thumbs up on the Alps packs. I'm a badlands 2800 guy, however I bought one of these for just a day pack as it converts from a fanny pack and love it.

Hands down the eberlestock.  Either the slingblade pack or the K5.  I now own both and love them both.  The original slingblade is worth its weight in gold if you can find one.  The new one is a little heavy and clunky but still very functional.   :twocents:

Love my Badlands 2200.  I picked it up for 160.00 on Camofire.  If you have a short torso it could be a problem though.  If you want to spend twice that amount try a mystery ranch crew cab.  It just wasn't in my budget :)

I use the eberlestock X1A1

no special bow bucket to add on, built right into the pack





I've been using it predator hunting,  I put a rifle in the built in scabbard and hop on my snowmobile and ride miles in 3-4 foot of untracked snow cutting tracks.
works awesome on the snowmobile that way.  I haven't carried the bow much in it but I know it fits well in there and doesn't wiggle around testing it.

I got a jack in the box, and CS24B foxpro stuffed in it right now -  still plenty of room for lunch and winter survival stuff too  :tup:
