    What is this "off season" you speak of? After whitetail season it is time to hone your skills and compete with friends.

    I wish I had a case for my bow. My wife likely wishes I had one also. My bow hangs on a hook on our master bedroom wall.

    Hard Case in a cool spot down the basement with a lot of wax on the string. Though it doesn't stay stored for long as I shoot year round, down the basement if need be.

    I keep mine in a hard case year round. I get periods where I can shoot a little in the yard.

    She stays in the hard case all the time... if I'm storing it for the winter she gets cleaned, some parts get oiled, string is waxed, and I usually back the limbs off a couple turns to ease up pressure on the string (not sure how important this is, but it's a habit of mine)

    Mine hangs by the door. Be hard pressed to forget it as I just about have to duck and weave to miss it!

    I shoot a couple times a week. But if I didn't, I would still keep it on the hook in my office.
    - I wouldn't store it in a hard case. Unnecessary pressure on bow in certain spots. IE; cams , strings etc
