    I don't have a lot of room in my truck cab when my wife comes hunting with me. I want to find a way to carry our bows in the bed without them sliding all over the place. Any ideas??

    Bow cases with bungee cords hooked to the side of the box.

    If you have the slot for it, 2 x 6 across the bed works well for stuff not moving.

    My bow has it's OWN seat in the back of my extended cab Silverado. When I travel, it goes in the comfort of an SKB rectangle case.

    In addition to previously mention suggestions a rubber bed mat should stop things from sliding back there.

    Had my bow in the bed (no cap) when I drove to montana. Had the hard case pushed up against the tailgate, then ran a ratchet strap threw the handle to the hooks on each side of my bed, then finished off with a 6' cable and padlock.

    I know somebody makes those bow/rifle carriers that attach to your seat backs. A buddy has a set and they work great when I ride with him.
