Carrying a bow on a back pack?
What does everyone use to carry their bow on their back pack and still be able to get it off without taking the pack off? Thanks in advance.

I've never used one, but I've seen this one online and have considered trying it out.

I've used the Eberlestock Universal Bow Bucket for the last few years and it works great. It took some practice, but I'm pretty efficient at getting to my bow without taking the pack off. See the last 30 seconds of this video for a reference.

They look nice. I like the fact that you can get the bow out without actually taking the backpack off. How much do the day pack go for?

I just carry my bow in my Kifaru gun bearer. If I'm putting it on the pack I use a Kifaru grab it but have to remove the pack to get the bow off.

Anyone know if you can purchase these Kifaru accessories locally here in Alberta?

Only second hand, otherwise you must order them from the States.

Kifaru does not have any dealers or distributors. You have to order directly from them.

I use my back country ski pack the bottom cam goes into the icepick holder and then it's one magnetic clip on the top. Takes about 10 seconds to take the bow out and stays on real well
