Delta was a bit cheaper, but I'd recommend shipping UPS and insuring your case. I personally like the tracking ability and ensuring my bow was received before I get on the plane. If it doesnt get there, then pack up a back up bow. The cost is all part of ensuring a great trip when you get to your destination. Enjoy your hunt.

check United regulations, I've flown on them 3 times in the past years, last one was 2 years ago, bow case always went as free checked luggage as long as it was under 50 lbs.
check the luggage rules on their web site, things like golf bags, bow cases etc are often excepted from the size limits.

I agree with Bob H, When I flew to/from quebec last fall, our bows were under 50# so they were free as our 2nd piece of luggage. Make sure to PRINT off the luggage info from the airline you are flying. They tried to charge me for my bow case at the airport, but I had the papers right with me.
