Improving a Bow hunter's experience through better equipment storage
Long Walks

 Hunters often hike 3-6 miles during a short 1-2 day trip in the wilderness, with 1 mile usually being the shortest and 40-50 miles being the longest over a 5-6 day trip.

Bow Ergonomics

     Bow handles are perfectly designed for comfort and ease of use while aiming and drawing, however that is not always the case for carrying it. Due to the handle shape and the weight of the limbs it tends to tilt one way or the other annoying the consumer and eventually causing discomfort to the wrist and fingers.
