How do you guys carry your fishing rod or shotgun on your bike. Shotgun is for going to range for skeet shooting not protection so it won't fit into bags? I hate to just strap them to the tour pack lid.

 

Here in Finland we use over under shotguns mostly in skeet and I have mine in my original case in two pieces on my luggage rack (cross over).

BUY A TRUCK. KEEP THE BIKE FOR RIDING.

 

Scott,
I do have a truck. I also have a bike to ride and want to ride to my fising spots or to the skeet range. Just wanted an easy way to carry without stapping to my tour pack. I thought maybe someone else here may hunt or fish and ride their bike to their favorite spots. Just thought someone may have a suggestion. I don't have a luggage rack on the tour pack to strap to, but I quess I may have to add that to my list.

 

Here's an option.

This may be a bit much for a fishing rod or a shotgun, but it would be secure.

 

I was wondering the same thing.
If I have to make my own 3 or 4 piece rods I will figure a way to take a quality fishing rig.

By the way - Did anyone see that ESPN is looking for bikers that combine their riding and fishing trips.
They are looking for some who can give them a month on the road - Biking & Fishing.

Sounds like my dream come true!!!

 

My dad installed a hitch on the back and its a receiver type hitch and he had a plate made and he hauls his golf clubs on the back of his bike. They give him a hard time out at the golf corse saying he doesn't need to rent a colf cart.I think you could have something made similar for your toys.

 

Learn to use a handgun for skeet shooting and fishing,[8D] takes up a lot less room. LOL

 

for haulling something like a shotgun or fishing poles I can see something like this being ok but geesh golf clubs are heavy... how far off the back behind the rear axle can you hang a heavy load without it causing major handling issues on a bike?
