No experience with the SKB Freedom.

I never could understand skimping on a good case. Is it really worth it to have a several hundred dollar bow or several thousand dollar hunt ruined so you can save $50 - $75 on a quality case? If you get a quality case it's an expense you'll only incur once and the piece of mind you'll have when you check in at the airline is well worth the extra outlay, as long as they don't lose it...[:@]
