So I have been looking for a reasonably priced pack for my father-in-law from wisconsin to use on his western hunts, and had narrowed it down to the arcteryx bora 80 and the rei xt 85. Arcteryx discontinued their bora line this year, so I decided I think we will give the REI XT 85 a shot. The color slate grey is not ideal, but it is what it is. I considered trying to find a used standard timberline2, but the price point is still a bit high, i think the max we are looking to go is $450.
So does anyone have any creative ideas for attaching a bow to a hiking backpack, more specifically the REI XT 85? http://www.rei.com/product/844652/rei-xt-85-pack I need to look at one in person to really get a better feel for it, I just wanted to see if anyone has already come up with creative ideas for this situation. I do notice some horizontal compression straps towards the frame maybe i could buy a set and do a loop through those, the bow, and across to the other side, not ideal but would probably work.
thoughts anyone?
