    Just in a hard case in my room but I shoot it pretty regularly and I take it out and make sure the strings are nice and waxed periodically.

    I shoot it every day at least 5-10 arrows, but keep the string waxed. I also keep the case out direct sun light or hot or cold areas.

    I guess this question was directed at me. In my basement 16 yard shot, 5 ring target. Working on setting up something for outside to work on my distance shoots. My lot is 400' deep so I think I can get a 100 yard target in.

    I keep mine in a hard case, but there is no off season for me. I can pretty well shoot all the time.

    I waxed my strings and put my bow away after my season. The weather is just too frightful to shoot during the winter and we don't have an indoor range.

    I keep mine out in the lower garage sitting on the soft case on a table. I heat the garage in the winter and open the door shoot six arrows and close the door while I retrieve the arrows. Kinda nice to have a heated outdoor range.

    I turn my bows down 5 turns and leave them in the hard cases in my basement. I may shoot in my basement a few times. I can get 16 yards. Come mid-March and I can snow blow a place to shoot outside to get ready to turkey hunt.

    Since I shoot almost daily, it either hangs on a hook or is leaned against the wall. I`ve never owned a hs case.

    I have only transported my current bow twice once when I bought it and once when I had new strings and cables put on it. Not sure why I ever bought a case.

    Unless I'm shooting, it stays in its hard case. That way it says clean and damage free.

    Every now and then it is in my SKB case. Mostly they lay on the bed in the spare bedroom.

    I store mine in a hard case unless I'm hunting or target shooting with it.
