Default SKB or Guard Force Cases?

I have a Mathews Switchback XT. I am looking to go back to Wisconsin for Archery Season at the end of October. I will be flying so I need a good bow case.

Anyone use either the SKB cases or Guard Force Cases for traveling with your bow?

If not, can you recommend a durable bow case that would work for my hunt in October?

Thanks!

SKB's are great, however I would highly recommend vanguards as well. They are really just as good and a bit cheaper. For a quality soft case, I got the new primos case for my XT.

I just got back from an Elk hunt in Colorado. I bought the SKB double bow case. It held my Switchback and I had plenty of room for other gear in it. SKB warranties the contents of your case up to a certain dollar amount also. Shoot straight.

I just bought that SBK freedom, and it's sweet. Very nice quality. Check out Lancaster Archery, they have free shipping on this case right now I believe?

I would warn people about the freedom case. We had a bunch of them at the shop and then 5 in a row came to us cracked and unusable. They said they were damaged in shipping..........my only concern is that if the case is damaged in shipping how durable can they be?

I've travelled all over AK and the lower 48 with my SKB double bow/rifle case and never had any damage to the bow, arrows or any other contents, well worth the investment.
