Never going to happen, I stand a better chance of falling and breaking my bow on the way to the stand than it getting damaged in route. Nope, my bow rides in the cab with me, like all my guns do when I hunt with them. They take precedence over any and all pieces of equipment because withoutthem I'm not hunting.A soft case will protect the bow more than enough for how it's handled and transported if done correctly and it will also hold my arrows and misc. gear as already outlined. There is no need for a hard case. Those cheap hard cases that you see everywhere only give you a false sense ofsecurity. Folks think "hey it's in a hard case...it's protected." Then proceed totoss it into the bed of their truck where it bounces all over hell on your way in and out of your hunting grounds. That's how you find stuff broken when you open the case. It amazes me how some folks get so anal about their sights, the timing of the drop on their rests, theircam timing and so fourth. Then they fine tune there valleys and draw stops to get everything perfect nine weeks to Wednesday......Only tochuck it in the back of their truck like some kinda 2x4 or shovelhaphazardly when they go hunting.

If you travelwith your bow then get a good quality hard case. Something all metal that will pass airline requirements for firearm transport.Then if you need to pack it in the bed of your truck (cab full of hunters) it will at least be protected as much as it possibly can given the situation. Care shouldstill be taken to make sure nothing is packed on the case or that it doesn't slide around. I rarely use my hard cases, gun or bow but I know I have them if need be.

Now, about that double decker lowerarm bar........didn't your momma tell you not to play with fire??
