Have you ever wished for a third arm to hold your bow while travelling the backwoods on an ATV?  Are you less than impressed with your current bow holder?  Bows are fairly cumbersome by nature, especially when carried amongst a bunch of other gear on your ATV.  And let's face it - they're not cheap.  The average hunting bow complete with all the necessities will nowadays cost between $1000 and $1500, with many setups exceeding $2000.  If you've been searching for a better way to transport your weapon on a four-wheeler and, at the same time, protect your investment, consider one of the two brackets described below to mount your Bowkaddy.

Original ATV Bracket - Simple, Reliable and Practical

This bracket has been around as long as Bowkaddy because it works so well on ATV's with metal racks and has had only minor design tweaks over the years.  The bracket works best on ATV racks that are tubular (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc.), but channel racks found on some brands (ie. Yamaha) are also compatible with this bracket.  And while most bowhunters prefer to mount the bow on the front rack, the rear rack is also an option when available.

Bowkaddy ATV Bow Rack

This anodized aluminum bracket fastens non-intrusively to parallel members of the ATV rack that are less than about 7" apart.  There's only one rubber-coated J-bolt used to secure it to the rack which makes for very quick detachment/reattachment, all without tools.  Simply loosen the wing nut and presto - bow rack off, deer rack on!  There are also rubber linings on the curved sections of the bracket to further dampen vibration and prevent undue wear and tear on your ATV rack.

When installed on an ATV, Bowkaddy can be tilted upward, opening up additional storage space on your rack for other gear such as duffel bags, rifle racks, clothing, etc.  Some ATV models can actually incorporate 2 ATV Brackets for tandem transport!

The ATV Bracket has an effective reach of about 8 inches, so if your tube spacing is greater than that, such as with the Yamaha Grizzly ATV's made over the last few years, I might recommend considering the Double Bar UTV Bracket instead of the ATV Bracket.

         

PAC Bracket

If you don't have a metal ATV rack, then you probably have a composite or hybrid one.  Polaris quads have always had a purely composite rack, and other companies have added composite tops to their racks in recent years, including Can Am and Arctic Cat.  They are also incorporating unique accessory quick-detach systems, which as explained above, is a product virtue.  This has led to the creation of Alaris Concepts' 10th product offering - the PAC Bracket.

 

The name is derived from the product's ability to align with the following quick-detach mechanisms:
Polaris Lock & Ride Arctic Cat Speed Lock Can Am LINQ

This powder-coated steel bracket works on select models with the proper fastener spacing, so be sure to inquire if you are unsure.  Note as well that the individual fasteners are not offered by Alaris Concepts.  You will need to pick these up at your local off-road shop.  If this bracket is compatible with your machine, you won't be disappointed.  Just ask Neil Bear from Pennsylvania who prompted Alaris Concepts to step up to the plate (-bending machine)! :)

"I did a lot of research on bow mounts and just couldn't find the one for me. So I called Bowkaddy which had the mount I wanted for the bow but I questioned about possibly making a quick detach for (the Can Am) Linq system. They said absolutely will customize one for you! I was blown away. Most companies would never take the time to do that for you. A few weeks later I received a prototype and it's perfect! 100% happy and now have the best bow holder for my ATV that money can buy, not to mention the finest customer service out there. Thank you!"     -Neil Bear, Mechanicsburg, PA
