I taken the idea that  Apex Predator  did to his hard case in this thread     http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=092780     & made my own quite similar to his but a little of my own ideas.

Same MTM case & same foam material that he used I just had to do some modifications to my case to accomodate the recurve limbs & I was able to use Glue to hold my sections together.

This picture you can see everything.
Zona T/D Recurve & Custom Limb Bolts.
12 Gold Tip Trad 35/55 arrows, 4 w/ Woodsmans & 8 w/ target points.
2 strings in baggies.
Stringer.
EFA Bow Quiver.
Arm Guard & Tab.
Bow Square.


A closer look.


Another closer look.


I used Gorilla Brand Super Glue to put it all together & even though I like how it turned out my second one for my Sky Hawk I think will be better because I learned a thing or two while doing this.

Believe it or not, my risor is not touching the plastic case, the foam at the lower end holds it just right where it's wedged in place, also great that I do not have to use any restraints to.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".
Sky Sky Hawk Recurve: 60" 47# @ 27.5".
Genesis 27:3 Now therefore, please take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me.

Nice setup!. Do you place anyhting in between the broadheads and everything else to keep any mishaps from happening?

Looks like a solid setup!  :)

Your pics are too large and will probably be removed by admins. Think 640 pixels is widest allowed..
You can easily resize using Paint in Windows  ;)

It's the MTM Arrow Plus Case designed to handle up to 36 arrows but it's the perfect size for a compact T/D Bow Case & still have room for up to 18 arrows.
I got mine from Kustom King Archery.

Not yet but I'm thinking of using some of the left over foam arrow retainers to accomodate that or something similar.

I've resized the pictures, thanks for the heads up.

Nice work there.  More details on the MTM case please?  I have been thinking of building something similar from scratch.

As far as more info on the case, This is from the 3 Rivers sight:

Protects up to 36 full length arrows
Includes 4 large compartments for accessories
Made of high density polypropylene
Padlockable & cross vector latch system
36" x 9" x 5"

I had to modify one of the compartments "you can see in the picture" to accomodate the recurve limbs but basically I have 1 layer that is not cut to lay the limbs & risor against, then I just made my layers the same way but instead tracing out the profile of the limbs & risor.
My cutting skills with this material is much to be desired but workable with some really good sizors & a knife.

Once I got all the layers cut I just used the glue to assemble them & used some 5Lb. weights to lay on top till the glue set.
In all I think it took me 3 hours of doing this project from start to finish with the most time cutting & then gluing the layers together one at a time.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".
Sky Sky Hawk Recurve: 60" 47# @ 27.5".

Is it just a pressure fit to keep everything in place? I think I saw this case at Gander Mtn and thought it could be converted. You beat me to it! How solid a fit is it inside?
