    What's everyone using for a case? My new bow doesn't fit too well in my old case. Any recommendations? New bow is 2016 Hoyt Powermax. Thanks!

    I've used a hard case SKB for my past bows. My new Halon doesn't fit well in it. I'm wondering about the SKB Hybrid. Subscribing to this.

    This is the Flambeau hard case I bought a few years ago for my Carbon Knight. Inexpensive and my bow even fit with the Tight Spot quiver attached. Holds 12 arrows as well. Has worked really well for 2 1/2 years. I've never put it on a plane but for general good protection like a pickup bed, I don't think you can beat the price.

    SKB here too. There are alot of nice cases out there though. I wish my SKB had a compartment for accessories.

    Yeah. I like it but won't feel comfortable putting it on a plane.

    I use a Gameplan Gear Sniper soft case for most of my bow transporting. If I was flying I would want a hard case for sure.

    Jeepwillys,

    It comes with a shoulder strap and some arrow holders that velcro to the inside. There is a slight indention in the bottom where you could put stuff. The push is pretty big and holds a lot of stuff. If you want more pictures let me know.

    Thanks Cooper. I like the looks of the inside. Seems like it would clamp down nicely on the Halon limbs and hold it secure.
    It is rigid, correct?
