I've used these handle bar racks on my mountain bike for years..I use to hunta a non motorized vehicle area that was huge but you could only ride your bike in two miles then it was hiking in another couple of miles...These ave worked well for me.

In my case, I used the MTB on skidder trails in the woods, going to hang-ons that were pre set in the spring and summer on about 200 acres of private that i had permission on. I used a large pack for all my cold weather clothing (central NY got pretty darn cold!) and just web-strapped the bow to the side or back of the pack. No case, just weaved the strap around the bow wherever convenient.For the guys talking about strapping your bow to a backpack, are you putting in a soft case then strapping it to the pack that has your sticks and platform?

Air pressure depends on the tire type, size, tubed vs. tubeless, suspension or no suspension... Best bet without going to far either way is look at the tire, it will usually show inflation recommendation or at least the max. What you want is just enough air so that they do not deform much at all when you are on the bike on pavement. Start with the tire recommendation, and then let a pound or two out and keep testing until you find the pressure for you. If you get them too low, they will squirm in corners and you can pinch the tube and go flat, or squirm and lose air on tubeless.So I took one of the dogs and spent the weekend camping/scouting at one of my remote hunting spots. I took the mountain bike along and spent some time riding along the two tracks around the area with the dog. This definitely has potential to cut down on the time and effort to get to some of my spots. Even in the 85 deg weather I stayed cooler on the bike than I did during the time I was just walking around. I will say though, riding the bike brings a whole new meaning to the term "saddle shape".
On a more serious note, what pressure are you mountain bike users putting in your tires? I know there's a balance between easy pedaling (higher pressure) and control in sandy areas (lower pressure).
