I use foam in each end and duct tape the ends like crazy. Just be sure to cut the tube a little longer than you need it to make room for the foam.

I've used foam or wad a bunch of plastic grocery bags into each end and then cut circular caps for the ends from other cardboard and duct tape the ends well. Never had a problem.

If the bow is in a "bowsock" all you need is to cut the tube to the length that allows 2-3" of compressed bubble wrap inside each end and duct tape each end securely.

If the bow is going across the border to Canada ,the customs people will take the package apart. I've have thought that a couple pieces of garden hose placed over the limb tips would have helped As well. Maxx

I have used cardboard carpet tubes in the past but I prefer a piece of 3" schedule 35 sewer and drain pipe. Put the plastic caps on and tape them with packaging tape. The reason I do this is because while the carpet tube is great, it is also pretty heavy and the shipping charges go up.

On the ends I use those swimming noodles the kids use. Don't glue the wood caps in like I did.
