Joe, just buy the Excalibur case, there are two, padded and non..
The cost is the same or less than what you are looking at. Excals are a bit longer (wider) than most, so don't take a chance, just get the right one.
The padded case can be folded and used for a seat, the non padded folds into a pocket..

awshucks

That's good advice for a short hunting trip or for areas that have the "must be cased" laws. For longer sorties, lol. most of us go to Mal-Wart and get a double gun case.[$15-19]Youcan take the two Allen screws that hold the riser to the rail out and all will fit nicely. Unlike a firearm, when you re-assemble your Excal in about two minutes, voila!! It's still dead nuts!!To the best of my knowlege, there is no hard, formed plastic case available for the Excals. Most of us would not get off the bucks for one if it were available, prolly why they ain't, lol.

Joe, everyone above gave you great info for a case. For short day cases, the soft or soft-padded cases work great, espically if you need to have your bow in case before or after sunrise/sunset(by law). You can easily store the case or use it like mentioned above, as a seat cushion.

As for long trips which you might need extra protection for the bow, the double rifle case as pictured above. The hard cases that are shaped for crossbows take up way too much room when packed for a trip (I believe extra fees for an airplane because of size and shape). I personally saw Digger remove that setup, put it together and shoot a bullseye at 20 yards with 3 shots in a row (no adjustments needed).

Good luck and how is your bow shooting, have you got out of your hockey equipment yet .

GrumpyTom, I haven't shoot it yet, I really want to.I just sent the broken stringer back to Excal today, I watch the video that came with the bow and tried to string it with out using the stringer like they show you, just felt like I was going to break something, I'm going to wait till I get the new stringer. That will give me time to fine my hockey gloves[/align] Talk to you later[/align] Joe

ive got the allen case, works great , and i think my scope sits higher than yours, i ve got the
Quad 400, but i love my padded case

Joey, if you find yourself getting paranoid the just take a good strong cord and make a loop that is large enought to go around the limb like the blue plastic end and attach it to the cord of the stringer. If the stringer plastic end ever blows up again(which it probably won't do) then the end of the stringer can't go anywhere.

GrumpyTom

Joe. when string the bow by hand, I do not think you can do dammage unless you apply pressure to the stock.
DO NOT PRESS AGAINST THE STOCK, WHEN PULLING BACK ON THE FREE LIMB.

Follow the instructions I gave you in the PM and I think you will be OK. I have been stringing my bow by hand for over 25 years and I do it every trip hunting (I do not leave my bow strung, string and unstring for every hunt). It just looks intimdating, but it is not actually that difficult.

Good luck.

joeyd50, I have a nice Allen padded case that I had for a barnet years a go and it just fits my new Exocet about perfect. Lee
