    That’s cool looking but will it work in your vehicle? I would just make one myself before spending money on it. But then again, I've spent $30 on dumber things. lol

    I can't use that as it is Illegal to carry a uncased weapon in my vehicle here in Wisconsin.

    Same here in Illinois. Be sure to check that before getting it.

    Personally I have not. That said, this is an opinion question and mine is that it simply doesn't look to be that great of an idea.
    1. As stated above, you're showing the world you have a bow in your car the likelihood of it getting stolen goes up.
    2. Do you have your bow with you that much that you need a special carrier in your car?
    3. I think you'd be better off to spend $30 on a case and have it protected all the time.

    Again, that is only my opinion.

    1. my bow sits in my back seat right now, so it isnt going to advertise it much more. and i have tinted windows (so much that you must be within a few feet of truck to see in, most of the time you have to put your face against the glass to see in the back seat
    2. yes i have it with me everyday all day. when i work, go to school, and have other stuff going on I never know when i can make a quick hunt in the morning or evenin.
    3. i have a case but it takes up my whole back seat, and honestly what is a case going to protect? yes it will protect it from getting hit from heavy objects but that isnt going to happen in my back seat (especially if it is in the holder) also I usually have my bow and my girlfriends bow in the back, so two cases is going to be a very tight fit. not to mention they are loud, and inconveniant when getting out of the truck to hunt.

    thats my reasons, im sure not everyone (or anyone) is the same. but for me being able to have a holder for my bow that gets it out of the way, and eliminates a case is ideal.
    now i just need to find out if its legal. although if it is strapped into this holder i doubt any cop will have a problem with it.
