How can I carry my compound bow in a backpack without showing any parts of it?

+1

I’m looking for a bag to help carry my bow. Not that hard in huge forums to find some good suggestions but the think is I’m looking specifically to carry a compound bow without exposing any of the parts of that bow.

I live in NY and it’s illegal to carry bows without them being out of sight so slings and packs that strap the bow to it are no good for me. I’m not looking to take the thing hunting; just to range and back.

You have a couple of options,

  • A soft case for your bow, put the bow inside the case and strap the whole thing to your backpack.

  • A bow case with backpack straps.

  • A bow case with a padded shoulder sling (these are more common than ones with backpack straps).

If you're simply looking for a bag to transport your bow in, then go shopping for a compound bow bag. There is a large selection of bags available.

Bow Case

If you're specifically looking to invest in a backpack that you can strap your bow too, then you can look for a compatible bow cover to conceal your bow.

Bow Cover or Sleeve

If you just want to get to the range without getting fined or arrested, perhaps it is sufficient to wrap your bow in a sheet or put it in a black garbage bag and stuff it into the top biggest backpack you have, or strap it to the outside.

I'm sure the guys at the range who have to abide by the same laws as you will have plenty of suggestions. It's always best to ask the locals when it comes to local laws.

You can't

There are a couple of good answers suggesting alternatives, and a comment or two about hazards, of these choices.

But you can purchase a TV Moving Box, online or from the local moving company and truck rental place. They are designed for flat screen TV's These are available in different sizes starting at about $25. Put your bow in it and carry it like it is a flat screen TV.

Alternately: you can purchase a takedown bow that would be easier to pack, but I don't think that is what you are looking for.

Alternately: You can get an Army Duffle Bag, with shoulder straps, it is effectively a large backpack. It should hold your bow, arrows and other gear, while functioning as backpack. Amazon sells them new for about $50 with several surplus stores selling used ones for about $20
