The 7 Best Compound Bow Cases

After investing in a compound bow it’s important to find a case that will keep your bow well protected. With any bow, it’s important to keep it safe and secure when not in use or while in transit to your next hunting or recreational excursion.

This article will outline the features to consider when buying a compound bow case, and give product reviews of the best compound bow cases on the market.


Factors to Consider

Before buying any bow case, it’s important to evaluate its features to find the case that will be the most suitable for you.

1. Level of Protection

There are two types of compound bow cases available: hard and soft.

Hard cases give your bow more protection because they act as a sturdy protective shield. The hard exterior ensures that your bow will not get crushed or water damaged while inside. Hard cases are ideal for vehicle transport or long-term storage. Compared to soft cases, they’re heavier and bulkier. And, with some hard cases, you may find that you need to take your bow apart to make it fit properly inside.

Soft cases are generally lightweight, dust proof and weather resistant. They offer less protection than hard cases, but most bows can fit inside with their stabilizer, quivers and other extra features still attached. Soft cases are well-padded, but will not offer the same degree of protection that hard cases will. Soft cases are ideal for people who don’t want to detach their bow each time they place it in a case, or those traveling long distances on foot with their bow.

2. Extra Space

Some compound bow cases have extra room and compartments for arrows or other gear you want to bring along on trips. Having a bigger case with compartments will add weight and bulk, but it ensures that all your gear will be safe and secure in one case. However, if you’re looking for a case strictly for your compound bow, it’s best to find a case that will house your bow snug and sound.

3. Weight

If you will be carrying your bow for longer distances, a soft case will be more convenient and easier to carry. A hard case is ideal for keeping your bow in storage, transporting in vehicles, or for situations where the weight of the case will not be an issue. Overall, it’s important to assess your intended purpose with your bow and carrying case to find the case more suitable for your needs.
