Brackets to mount bow on Mountain Bike
Question:
Hi folks, I am looking for some brackets or clamps that I can mount my compound bow on my mountain bike. Who sells them and what should I look out for? Could you please e-mail me directly, as I do not always check the newsgroups. Thank you. Thomas Haslinger Custom Knives http://www.haslinger-knives.com Calgary, Alberta Canada

Check with a shop that sells those 4 wheel motorcycles, I forget what they are called. They sell brackets to carry both guns and bows. They can be fit on a MTB. Alex __O _-<,_ (_)/ (_)

I cannot help but think that fastening an expensive compound bow, with all of it’s many adjustable parts that are in theory tuned up, to a mountain bike and then beating hell out of it, is something akin to tying the dog’s leash to the baby stroller or bicycle handlebars. Take a header, or have the dog see a squirrel and give chase, and something totally unforseen (and bad) is likely to ensue. Sounds a little like a candidate for the Darwin awards, if you start to think about trucking down the mountain with a quiver full of broadheads and a bow strapped on<G>…like….oops, hit a rock and took a header over the handlbars….pincushion city…..at the very least that bow isn’t going to shoot so good, and at the worst, well, that archer won’t be shooting so good anymore…. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Hi folks, >I am looking for some brackets or clamps that I can mount my compound >bow on my mountain bike.
