Easy access bow holder

A transport bracket assembly for weaponry including a first bracket affixed to, for example, a vertical panel adjacent the bed of a conventional pickup truck, and a swinging bracket connected to the fixed bracket in swinging gate fashion by a pair of pintles. The swinging bracket has two pairs of distinct holders for receiving a firearm, e.g., a rifle, or a bow. The holders may be adjusted along the second bracket to different positions. A clip assembly above and attached to the swinging bracket engages the stabilizer of a conventional bow. An interengaging, cooperating latch and guide assembly includes a spring loaded lockbolt on the fixed bracket inserted into a latch element lock bore on the swinging bracket for retaining the swinging bracket in a closed position against the fixed bracket. A guide on the fixed bracket assures proper alignment of the lock bore with the lockbolt. A keeper on one of the pintles assures that the swinging bracket remains on the fixed bracket; however, the keeper is easily removed to permit disassembly of the swinging bracket from the fixed bracket.
