    What do you use and why?

    I'm looking to get a new case, just don't know what to get. Right now I just have a cheap soft case, but I'm looking for something with a little more protection during travel.

    I don't expect to fly with it, so really just a good quality case. One option I think I would like is to be able to store it with my quiver on.

    I would suggest the Plano All Weather Case. It's a durable, hard plastic case with a rubber seal with locks built into latches. I have one for my Elite I bought this year and I love it.

    I am a huge fan of the Lakewood cases. Can store your bow with quiver and arrows still on it and you can get an arrow case and accessory case that will fit inside the case. I can get you great pricing on these if your interested!

    I really, really, really, really like my Lakewood bowfile case. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is really bulky compared to other cases. But it is worth it IMO.

    I really like my Plano Bone Collector case, its good for real travelling like flying, has locks, can hold the quiver w/ arrows. One bad thing is it weighs a ton. My old normal Plano Protector was fine too, but you aren't flying on an airline with it.

    Whatever you do, do NOT buy the Plano Parallel Limb Bow Case. It looks kinda cool but the plastic is about half the thickness and durability of the Plano Protector.

    Tarantula hybrid structured soft case. Lots of pocket space for all my crap and holds the bow real secure

    I am buying a Lakewood Double Bow case on Monday! I have heard nothing but good reviews on this case. I have only used hard cases in the past, but this case seems to be best and most practical for me.

    skb hard case for travel, can fit 2 bows if quivers removed. When I travel to texas to hunt hogs I can fit my bow and rifle in the same hard case. Hoyt case for normal/driving travel. hoyt case has pockets inside for gear, also big enough for my CST with the BG 6" dovetail.
