How to Store and Protect Your Bow

Bowstrings and cables are the Achilles heel of any compound, recurve, or crossbow.  If an object vibrates against a string or cable, it can quickly cause failure.  Whether in the back of your truck or the cargo hold of an airplane, a hunt can be ruined without proper caution.  MTM Case-Gard specializes in protective gear and introduced two new storage and protective products at the 2024 ATA Show.

Bow Case and Suitcase Combined

The MTM Traveler is built to store and protect.  It has room enough to store you bow with the quiver installed or your arrow holder can attach to the inside top of the box. Its size fits bows up to 44 inches and meets airline specifications so you will have room for your hunting gear inside the case.  I often pack boots and heavier clothing inside a bow case which can save the cost of checking an extra bag on a round trip flight.

Safe and Secure

The bow case locks with sturdy latches and has holes drilled for padlocks for extra security.  I always fly my binoculars, rangefinder, and release in my carry-on luggage so that they can’t be stolen or repacked by TSA in a vulnerable position.  Make sure that all strings and cables are cushioned by soft clothing and no sharp or metal edges can vibrate against them.

The Mule- The Ultimate Storage Box with Wheels

“I know I have that, but where?” Hunting is gear-prolific and it’s easy to accumulate numerous hunting objects and products, but then forget where you stored them.  This great product from MTM figuratively “packs like a mule.”  It can be used for long, large objects, smaller gear like all of your scent elimination products, broadheads, or game calls.  It’s great for clothing.  Fold all of your face masks, gloves, and smaller items in one box, use the second for base layers and put insulating vests and jackets in the next.  Plus, it has wheels.
