Hahaha!!! Great suggestion!!!! The only draw back I can see is....


.................wait for it......................

 

Ask joevan125 how many ski shops he's likely to find in Alabama????

But for those who live in areas that would support a ski shop, I think it really is a great idea/suggestion.

Swampdrummers 1x3 pine frame is what I did for a recurve I just sent to New Mexico from Nova Scotia. Heavy cardboard sides and yards of duct tape around and around. Bow wrapped in a flannel sheet with balled up newspaper for packing. Will be a big challenge to open, but I felt pretty good about it.
Sent it through the Post Office, $45.00 with Insurance.

Joe because I ship a lot of bows myself I kind of stopped scrounging and using used boxes mostly to save time.I went with all new arrow boxes of which 2 taped together make a great bow box and are pretty strong mostly because there new and are still nice and stiff along the edges.However I would like to mention if you purchase new arrow boxes shipping on 24 new arrow boxes cost more then the boxes do bd

Lowes or Home Depot have the plastic downspout pipe. Light in weight, but sturdy. Make caps for the ends, wrap the bow in bubble wrap and good to go. Works for most recurves and all longbows. But for longbows, I like the carpet tubes.... Free for the asking.

As I stated before most bow boxes can be made in less than ten minutes using some simple instructions and a few tools. A straight edge, utility knife, cardboard and tape. A good source for cardboard is a appliance store. They will usually have a refrigerator or other large box that is free for the asking.
