Best way to carry bow on bike?

[canyonhunter47]

Last year I just strapped my bow to my backpack and it was just okay. This method did rattle some things loose and I would like to blame my miss on a nice coues buck at 40 yards on the sight . I'm not opposed to doing this again and taking more time to check over all my components. I do have a nicer bike this year so I suppose it would rattle less anyways.

However, I was wondering what other ways are out there that might be better. I looked at montana scabbards but I came across a forum somewhere where they worked with QR axles not thru axles? I've also thought about a bike trailer since I'll need to get one for the little one on the way at some point anyways... but I would rather not have the bulk (water crossings) and probably would get in trouble getting it bloody

Tagging in. This is my first year using a fat bike for hunting.

Handlebar mounts made for ATV’s work okay.

I think on the pack is the way to go. Handlebar mounts rattle more than the pack, and I imagine a bike trailer would as well due to no suspension.

I’ve ridden miles and miles with both setups and prefer the handlebar mounts. However, if you’re on trails, lashed to the pack is the way to go. Tighten everything proper and it won’t rattle loose.

I would rather the bow be lashed to my pack whether on a bike or hoofing it. Same set up.

That looks pretty sweet. Is your rear thru axle or quick release?
