I'm trying to decide on a bow case, What do you guys suggest? Has to be strong enough for air travel.
Thanks
Justin

I have an ADG case and my 2and 6 year old grand kids jump on it. It also has locking latches. I got mine from swamp donkey outdoors a few years back. The only other ones that look a lot tougher would be to ones trophy book carries.

Hands Down SKB Bow cases for travel...heavy duty tuff...so tuff in fact they have a 1000.00 or better warranty on anything in the case if it gets damaged...

If the case ever does get damaged they replace in free...outstanding customer service......

But you will pay for it in the $250.00 Range in some models...but cheap insurance in the long run.

I wouldn't trust many cases when it comes to airline travel...

Thanks I checked out that site looks like a very good product. Once my bow gets here I'll check them out and see what's the best fit.

I will second the SKB cases - my bow is in my truck and I have travelled to places that would make mountain goats faint - the case is a little scuffed but the bow is mint.

Default Best bow case

http://www.nalpak.com/TuffpakCases
People tell me this case hands down is the best. We are about to find out. I ordered one last week for my bow. Check the weight difference of your case you are interested in getting if you plan on doing any fling.

Cost a 100.00$ to ship it. I went with the case that holds two bows. I believe all in shipped and with a name plate on the case with address ect it was close to 600.00$ tax in.

The SKB Hunter XL Series Bow Case...Model: 2SKB-4120 should fit nicely and you wont have to donate an arm or leg for it...

According to their website only airline rated cases offer content warranty and only to damage caused during air transport - as for product warranty depending on the model the warranty is anywhere from 1 year to lifetime
