Wow, this is a little surprising to me. You all have spent so much coin on your bows and other goodies and when it comes to protecting it you use the plastic cases. So if it falls out the back of the truck, do you think your bow is really going to be "protected"?
My $700 bow rides in the back seat, not the bed.

I have aluminum for any weapon I have, it is way stronger and if it were to fall off the back of the rig I can pull the bow, or rifle out and know that the zero is still correct. My sight pins are safe and that is the greatest feeling of all. I tell alot of people at the club, the same when they scream in pain when they find out what a real case cost you for piece of mind.

I am not here to bash any one, just surprised at the responses.

Just my .02 worth
Welcome to the board!
My bow will not be falling out of my truck I can guarantee that. If I thought it would, I would definitely use an aluminum case. But it won't. I'm sure of it. Maybe you need to examine how you pack or drive?

I use a SKB. I love it but I need a larger one that holds my quiver.

I have a hard plastic case that I use to take it two and from hunting, or when we'll be camping as it will keep it dry as well. For going to Tournies or shooting with my friends, I use a soft case... And as far as aluminum vs plastic, Id go with plastic all the way. Pelican makes some great protection cases, and I wish they made a bow case. Aluminum will bend where as plastic will flex and snap back. Just my $.02

My bow rides in the cab with menever in the bed.

I also use soft cases for all of my firearms. Now, if I travel (airline)I put them in hard/aluminum cases. Other than that they stay in the soft cases.

Welcomeaboard.
