Title: DIY bow case
Post by: BigBucksnTrucks on August 31, 2012, 10:01:00 AM
First Off..Hello Y'all!  I'm new to the forums, been bow hunting for a few years,  instinctive trad hunting for about 2 years,  still have LOTS to learn.  Anyways, thought I'd contribute with my home made bow case.  
    I was helping a friend move and she was tossing out an old violin case,  this was shortly after I bought my bow and I needed a case and I thought...hmmm,  I can use that,  so with a little bit of gutting out and some foam, glue and felt I built myself a great case for my TD bow. I cut the foam so the bow sits nicely inside the foam and is held in there with velcro.  the top of the case holds 8 arrows,  I may change the top and pull the arrow holder out of my compund case and install into this one, well see.  Last year I purchased a quiver for the bow so I may need to alter the foam so it will hold the quiver while on the limbs, right now I have to remove the quiver when I put the bow in the case.  Anyways, heres a few pics of the case along with the bow, It's a custom made bow based on the black widow, bulder named it Casper.  Draws 65#'s at 28".

Not only is the case itself very cool, even more impressive is that your first post here is one that contributes knowledge and helps others.  
Love it!!
