I am in need of a case for my 3 piece takedown RER longbow. Any recommendations. RER recommends the SafariTuff case carried by 3 Rivers. These limbs have a pretty good curl when unstrung. Was wondering if I wanted something suitable for a recurve.
U can buy one of those mtm Black arrow cases and than cut the foam to fit your riser and limbs.
Safari Tuff!
Safari Tuff! Call Rod and talk to him about your bow. He'll hook ya up.

Just sent you an email Tony, but also recommend safari tuff. Rod has an RER LX exactly like the bow you have now.

Oh yeah, Safari Tuff. The big case that holds two sets of limbs.
Well
How does the lx shoot?..
I made one out of the MTM arrow case. It works good. But it turns out that it is really for throwing all kinds of stuff in there. I'm going to buy a bigger one. I'd like the have the Blackwidow hard case but $$!

I ordered the hard case from Bob Lee when I ordered my new bow. Don't have it yet but it looks awesome.
Safari Tuff all the way. If you have any questions, Rod will get you lined out. He ships free to boot.

Thanks for the recommendations. Safari Tuff case looks good as well at the tube from Far North Archery. The tube sure looks like it would protect my investment.
S-a-f-a-r-i T-u-f-f...
Anybody have a pic of the SafariTuff opened up?
I use the SafariTuff with an RER recurve and it works perfectly. I slip it into a hard bottom rolling duffle packed with cloths for padding and hand it over to airline goons without a bit of worry.
Joe, there is a picture of an open Rhino case in the upper left of the home page of Rod's site.

It is a great case with plenty of room. With an extra set of limb sleeves can even hold two bows.
Safari Tough makes a great case. Make SURE you get one long enough. Mine is made for a recurve and my LB limbs won't fit inside.

Joe, thanks for that link and note. I did see this pic but it's so small. I was hoping for a better details.
I took two bows in my Safari Tuff packed in a rolling duffel to Namibia this summer, no problem at all..
Safari Tuff does it for me too. Judging by this thread I would hate to work for the competition! LOL
Safari Tuff Traditional ordered! Just got off the phone with Rod. Very helpful and knew just what I needed especially since he has the exact bow I wanted this case for. Even gave me some recommendation for brace height and arrow spine for the RER LX longbow.
Safari Tuff !
I have a Safari Tuff for my Pronghorn and it is a very good case. Kathy Kelly is very good, also.
I don't know if somebody mentioned it yet, but I would suggest Safari Tuff :)
I'd put it in an AR case with foam cutouts for it, arrows, binoculars, etc
Safari Tuff case Traditional arrived today. Very nice piece of gear. Quality of the workmanship is outstanding and the layout is excellent. Extra pockets for essentials is a nice touch. Thanks again for the recommendations.
I put my three piece in one of those bow socks that have an opening at each end with stiching to keep the three parts separated. I pack clothing around it in a hard bottom duffel. With luggage fees these days I am a minimalist.
May consider an ~30" airline approved rolling suitcase. While some may be a considerable investment, having bow and gear arrive in one piece is the objective and one won't have to advertise what they are carrying and/or that they are hunting.
I made a wooden case a while back:
