I would'nt think that they would,there's a lot of curve on the psr.

Might be careful sending them in a tube. I sent a SAG in a 6" pvc pipe and managed to twist a limb on the way to the buyer. Black Widow straightend it out for me, but I have stayed away from tubes and recurves since. I may have just packed it to tight. Others will know more than I.

Thanks guys, now where to find a decent box to fit a PSR. One is a takedown so that should be easy to find I think.

I'll be selling more than one PSR, and a Saluki.

I have received 3 Salukis and a 1pc recurve up to now and they all arrived OK with cardbord boxes.  All senders used homemade cardboard boxes which were tear down from other packages.  Wrapped the bow with a bow sock. extra bubble wrap all around the bow, especially around the limb tips and siyahs.  Then filled both end of the box with more bubble wraps or newspapr for more cushions.  Of course they are all insured.  I noticed that the shipping and insurance total is about < $40 each time.

It's diffcult to get a large enough tube for shipping recurves.I just make flatboxes for them and packed them well and insure them.I ship longbows in tubes.
