RE: Hard Case vs Soft Case
For hunting and local travel.. I use an SKB soft souble bowcase... I've been using them for the last 5-6yrs.. and absolutely love them. Plenty of protection and lots of storage for 1 bow, arrow box, quiver, and anything else you can think of... or 2 bows if you need. And they don't take up as much room as a hard case.. IE easier to store.
If you are flying.. that's another story.. SKB hard case would be very hard to beat.
