Default Need a bow case

I just recently purchased a new bow and need a case. I have been leaning towards a hard case but am not totally against a soft case. I have around 130 bucks to shell out and really can't afford anymore at this time of year just after Christmas and all.

I have looked at both the Plano all weather and the SKB hunter and am kinda leaning towards the Plano? Any thoughts on either of these? or are there better options out there at this price point?

I just bought the Plano case and I'm very happy with it, could probably run it over with a truck, very solid case

I have a Tenzing "soft" case and it works awesome. It protects my bow really well but is easy on the seats in my truck. I wouldn't use it to transport a bow on a plane for example but it more than protects my bow while at the range or while hunting, without weight a ton, and it also has extra storage pockets.

I bought a hard case first, with the intention of getting a soft case later.
But I never did.
I think the hard case offers the best protection.
I like the soft cases....maybe one day I'll get one.

This looks good for a soft case..I will have to see if any of the shops here in Calgary carry these so I can have a look at one.
Thanks.

I had a Plano and plastic closures broke after while. I now use this SKB and am loving it. http://www.basspro.com/SKB-Cases-Hun...duct/10204489/

I think WSS has the Tenzig...Jimbows also carries some soft case options.

I was at WSS Calgary on boxing day and didn't see any? I will give Jim bows and the Archery centre a look this week.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I love my SKB cases they are awesome. A bit heavy but I will take that for the protection they give.

For the money the Plano works well for local hunting and everyday use...
however if flying anywhere for the extra money you cant beat the SKB.s

They even have a $1500.00 insurance on contents if broke during a flight...

also an awesome no questions lifetime warrenty...outstanding company to deal with...
