Default Bow Hunting - Jeep Question

Hunting seasons right around the corner and I'm looking to see if there's anyone who's come across the issue of where to carry their bows in the jk?

It'll be two of us, so if there's a rack or some other idea out there, it needs to accommodate two compound bows.

Any ideas?

I have a 4D, so it's easy just to fold one of the rear seats down and stick the bow cases in longitudinally.

I imagine a 2D would fit them as well.

I have a 4dr, and lay mine on the floorboard behind the front seats, I throw a coat or blanket down to absorb any bouncing around...but that's just on bow tho.

I never travel far tho, so I don't use the case.

A buddy of mine with a TJ just got two of those velcro straps and strapped it to the back rear roll bar with the top down. It looked cool as hell and a forest ranger driving by on the 15 gave him the thumbs up!

I've got a Diamond marquis but just bought a stickbow. I'm having a blast with that, but it'll be a long time before I'm shooting apples on heads.

Default Try this

Try taking out your back seat and doing something like this. Lay bows up on top and stow back packs and gear below. This picture of one of the smaller bear I got with a bow back in the 90's. Got one that missed Boone and Crockett by about a half inch.
My son is over at Quinalt this weekend bear hunting. Said he passed up a small boar & got video of a nice blond sow with two cubs.
