Chucker, you are a man after my own heart. You treat your bow like it is something special because it is. As far as the group of respondents wondering about cased vs uncased or the guy that has his bow in the storage unit,think about it. Storage units get incredibly hot unless they are air conditioned. And, a bow gets just as hot inside a case as it does outside the case. Again, heat will stretch strings and cables and it is very hard on you limbs.
