Tink recommends:
===============
Did you follow my suggestion about using 2x4 runners that would extend
further to the front. Most of the standard rack, are only 4 or 5 ft max
between cross bars. That leaves alot of a 18 ft double or longer,
unsupported.

Frtzw seems to be gitting the hang of this, we will see what he comes
up with. TnT
===============

I'm with you re the runners, but now what? So I've got runners
extending forward, past the standard short rack -- I like that idea.
But, what do you recommend I do with these 2X4 ends... since my bow,
curved as it is, will likely sit several inches above these 2X4 ends.
What/how do I construct to fit on these ends to support the bow. Just
foam perhaps? I'm stuck.

Cheers,
Wilf
