SDG's Review of Plano Protector Series Single Bow Case
I almost didn't buy this case because of less-than-stellar reviews found at other vendors' websites. For me, it was the only case I could find large enough for my ancient Bear Whitetail II which didn't cost multiple times more than the bow was worth, sentimental value excluded.
For my application, the bow (46.5" × 15.5") fits nicely, with the cams just dropping inside the outer edges of the shell and resting on the edge of the foam, and there's even room at the front for my stabilizer without having to remove it for storage. There's even room for twelve arrows in the holder at the top with the bow in the case and the quiver detached and held down with the center strap.
The tradeoff for having a big, cheap hard case is that, well, it's big and cheap. "Big" speaks for itself, but...
..."cheap" needs further explanation. The retention straps are as cheap as they come. They are made with flimsy nylon and cheap metal grommets pressed in. I fully expect them to fail over time, and not a very long time if the case is stored handle-up with the bow is pulling on the straps. The two limb straps will take the brunt of this stress, and, thankfully, they are replaceable as they are held down by screws.
All other attachments (center strap, arrow holders) are held down by cheap little metal rings that are pressed onto plastic studs (some assembly required...but they supply a cheap plastic tool for it) and are not likely fixable if they fail. Also, the foam is fairly thin, but it does what it's supposed to do.
Overall, it's a decent value, and does exactly what I needed it to do. Your mileage may vary.
