I've got those Kolpin claw looking things that mount behind the rear rack. They carry my climbing stand and my crossbow safely.

I use the rubber covered rifle holders with rubber tie over straps on the front. That way you can keep a eye on both ends of the bow.
An extra bungee also is not a bad idea.You don't want to travel too
fast to near your hunt location anyway. An extra bungee also might be used.

I leave mine in the hard case and strap it down on my rear rack.

I carried mine across my back. I just loosened the sling up a little and never had a problem with it.
