QUICK TIPS
Hard or Soft? Which Bow Case Is For You?
There is no question that the best way to protect your valuable archery equipment is with a proper bow case, but which is best; hard or soft? Hard cases are more costly than soft ones and they are larger so take up more space in the boot, but the real answer depends on how you use your bow and the type of traveling you do.
If most or your bowhunting or target archery is local and your travel is limited to trips to your local hunting block or archery club, a good soft case is fine and will prevent scratches and other wear and tear from travel in the boot or in back of the ute can cause. If, however, you do a lot of travel on airlines you should invest in a good hard case. A soft case will be better than nothing on an airplane, but many airlines will ask you to sign a disclaimer absolving them of any responsibility for damage. So if your soft bow case falls off the baggage cart and gets run over by a landing 747, you are out of luck. If your bow is in a hard case, the 747 will still destroy it but the airline will reimburse you for your loss (After you fill out the brief 29-page claim form, of course.)
