RE: How to travel with longbow?
If you check out Cabela's website, they sell a plastic fishing rod tube, called a "Bazooka Tube", for about $30. They are about 4" in diameter, can accomodate two longbows, have a carry handle, are lockable (need two locks), and are adjustable for length. Slip your bows in fleece or wool bow socks, then stick them in the tube. Great for airline travel.
