Safe storage and transportation for your bow and arrows
Sturdy bow cases
Sturdy bow cases are indispensable for the safe transport of bows across various modes of transportation, including vehicles, planes, ATV/UHVs, and boats. Without the protection of a sturdy case, the bow is at risk of being bent, cracked, or broken during transport. The delicate components like cams, strings, and limbs are particularly vulnerable to impact and mishandling. Arrows can easily bend or break when not properly secured. Damaged arrows can be dangerous to use and may as well affect shooting accuracy.
These cases provide protection for fragile equipment, ensuring that bows arrive at their destination undamaged and ready for use. High-quality cases shield bows from impacts and vibrations that could compromise their structural integrity.
Storing broadheads
Proper storage of broadheads is another aspect of bow maintenance and safety. Broadheads should always be stored in a protective quiver designed to shield their sharp edges. This practice not only preserves the sharpness of the broadheads but also prevents accidental injuries during handling and transport.
Heat sources
Additionally, bows should be stored away from heat sources and anything that could potentially damage or bump the cables, strings, sights, or rests. Extreme temperatures can affect the bow's materials and tuning, while impacts can misalign carefully adjusted components.
By investing in quality bow cases and following proper storage practices for bows and broadheads, archers and hunters can protect their equipment, comply with regulations, and ensure optimal performance when it matters most.
Legal requirements
In many jurisdictions, it is not just a matter of good practice but a legal requirement to have bows cased whether in an ATV/UHV, vehicle, boat or plane.
These regulations serve to reduce the risk of injury. Exposed bow parts and arrow tips can pose a safety hazard to the archer and others handling the equipment. Sharp broadheads, in particular, can cause serious injuries if not properly contained.
