Default Bow case

Just wondering what everyone is using for a bow case?
Have a new PSE EVO, and all I seem to find are the cheap plastic bow cases.
I have looked at bow shops and the usual places.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm kind of in the same boat - looking for a sturdy case that won't break the bank but is more on the compact side of things.

Currently I have two cases; one is a zip-up cloth case for everyday transport (when I am loaded light and there's less chance of someone in my party throwing something on top of it) and when things get a bit rougher, I have a standard Plano case. It becomes a pain when there's several bowhunters traveling together with that case style; they are quite bulky.

Some of the slimmer/more compact cases strike me as being too flimsy.

I don't fly with my bow, so I don't really need a flight case, but I'm liking what SKB has. Just a bit on the pricey side.

I’ve got an SKB that I bought off Amazon for about $250. It houses my gear, I’ve flown with it many times and I expect it’ll last a lifetime. Money well spent.

SKB. Buy once cry once. They are also a pressure fit between the foam when you close the lid. No straps needed.

I picked up a 2 rifle Plano case from cabelas on sale. I think it was under 200.

I just cut out foam to fit the bow, you have to get a little creative but it works good and it is very sturdy. Almost a little too heavy. Just something to look into

I have a brand new Plano AW For sale if you’re interested. It’s the Plano one not the Cabelas one that they sell for $200. Message me directly if interested, can provide pics.

I went with the Pelican Air bow case. I had trouble finding a decent hard case to fit a Hoyt RX-5. I figured if I was spending a fair amount on the bow, I might as well pay to protect it. I was blown away by the quality and versatility of this case. Very pleased with it.
