Bow Case
 
What is everyone using for a hard case to transport a 36inch or longeraxle-to-axle bow aboard an aircraft? Last yearI purchased a SKB parallel Limb bow case to fly with, the problem is that it will not fit a bow longer than 34 inches ata. I want to purchase an Airborne in the future, but don't know of a good case to fit it.(not to mention I don't want to drop another 250$:eek:)

Good thread. I've gotta pull the trigger on one of these, soon. I was thinking SKB all the way.....but I've never heard of the two previously mentioned. I'll check them out as well.

EDIT: That Lakewood won't suit my purposes. I need to be able to fly with mine....and I wouldn't trust my bow in that case.

I just picked up the SKB Freedom case. Very nice and sturdy. I have read some mixed reviews on this case, but I am very satisfied.

They say that it is strong enought that a average sized man can stand on it.

Yeah but I've seen this case in a shop, somewhere. I KNOW I won't trust my bows in one. Have you seen one, up close?

Just looked at one yesterday and i thought it looked like a nice case but its whatever your preferience is. And i wouldent be comfortable with my bow on a planeno matter what the case isjust cuz I know that they lose a lot of stuff. But im sure that the skb will be a better case for flying.

I have the SKB rectangle bow case, which holds my Vectrix XL (36") nicely, withPLENTYof extra room for other "stuff". Contents are insured against breakage. Peace of mind is good.:DIt's a great case, I just wouldn't put 2 bows in it though.;)

So I did a search for Vanguard bow cases and found this website:

http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/Hard_Bow_Cases.html

They have a good selection and i will probably look towards the Vanguard or a SKB that will fit the longer ATA. I will tell you that I have had good experience with the SKB that I have, fit and finish are good. It held up great when I traveled with southwest airlines, but for some reason I think that they just serve up a better flying experience all around. I definately want something sturdy to protect a $700 bow.

Thanks Mobow

I wish Pelican made a bow case. They are currently making rifle cases that are tough as nails. We use thier products at work for test equipment. I actually called thier customer service last week and told them they should put out a bow case. The market is limited as far as having options when trying to safely transport your bow.

heres thier website. Give them a ring and let them know we want a bow case

You're welcome....I don't have the rectangle one, but the other. Very high quality case. You can lock that thing 3 different ways. 1 is the main lock, locks the entrie case shut. 2 (seperate key) locks 2 of the latches, and the other 2 are fitted to accept a pad lock. That's pretty secure. The bow fits tight enough that it doesn't move around...Arrows are held secure.....I've very happy with it.

I've got an aweful lot of cash tied up in my equipment. I want to protect it as well as I can.
