Striker soft compound cases have 2 shoulder straps to enable you to carry on your back, whether I'de carry it on a bike is another matter.I've seen threads about backpacks to carry recurves, but I'd like to know if anyone has a solution for carrying a compound bow on a pushbike.
I've been looking at trailers on-line, but they all seem to be too short.
Does anyone go to shoot on a pushbike?
When i saw the title its the first thing I thought.It's a compound, you don't need a bike, just bolt on the pedal kit to the wheels.
Hi Geoff, I know you were, I was just messin with you.:burp:Hi John,
I did read your post but I was on a slightly different tack with having a bag modified rather than buying one already made. I was thinking along the lines of, knowing the current bag will hold everything.
Would two compounds, one each side constitute a tricycle, and therefore become more stable in side winds ?When i saw the title its the first thing I thought.
I tried the whole compound bag on a bike thing and it didnt work as its such a strange shape to try and cater for, the only solution i cam eclose to was a saddle bag attachment and a lot of bunjee straps so it could be side mounted.
If you had two compounds, you'd have 4 wheels, so it would bw a quadracycle.Would two compounds, one each side constitute a tricycle, and therefore become more stable in side winds ?
I hadn't thought of that. It's a touring bike I have, with pannier rack and bags. I'll see if I can get the bow in one of the bags and then additional bungee cords to hold it in place, I can put the rest of my gear in the other pannier. I think that might just workWhen i saw the title its the first thing I thought.

Thanks, i hadn't seen that bag. Please let me know how you get on. It is quite big for an Ultratec almost a foot longer than the bow. It's all going to depend on how high on your back the straps allow the bow to be. Too low and the bow will hit the back wheel.Well I'm in a similar situation and have gone for one of these;
