Soft bow case - yay or nay?

[sdfrench]

The soft bow cases take up less room. But, they don't appear to provide the protection of a hard case. Do you use a soft case? Only for trips to the range or for hunting trips too?

may just be in my head but for day to day use I still use a hard case. I personally feel my bow is better protected. I have spent to much time makeing sure everything is right to get out and have it off because it got banged around.

I thought I would never use a soft case untill I won one in a door drawing. I have had it for about 6 years now, it has made lots of miles including 2 trips to Nebraska, never had one problem, because of the size most of the time its in the back seat. I love it. Would not get on a plane with it though

I use a soft case for trips to the range and most hunting where I drive.

For air flights I use a Brownell case... http://www.brownellarchery.com/brownell-bowcase.pdf this case has been across the country at least 20 times without any trouble...

Both
when it is raining and no room in the truck, hard case is the ticket.
My soft case is bigger, it hold 2 bows.

I got one of those Plano hard bow cases with the pillar supports. The only case I use. Been thinking of getting a soft case, but then I would have the storage issue. Plus, with the Plano, I can store a dozen arrows (without bh) in the lid.

My soft case has a poket that holds a hard arrow case, good for at least a dozen arrows

I got a soft case, a cheap one at Academy to go in the back seat of my truck for quick runs to the shop or when I'm out hunting. I like it b/c it pads my bow and keeps dust off it without getting in the way like a hard case does.

Now if I go on a long trip and need space... Bow goes in the hard case and goes in the bed.

I use a hard case when traveling from the house. Once I get to the lease, I switch to a soft case, just to keep the dust off.

If I am going local, like the range or bow shop then a softcase (SKB). But if I am traveling any great distance then its my hard case ( Plano Protector Bow Max)
