I'm unsure of airline regs but as far as shipping I will say from my own experience fed ex ground seams to be the best rates and fast shipping aswell with tracking and insurance aswell. For something as big and heavy as a blind I'd definitely go with fedex. Smaller stuff I prefer usps for convenience. my $.02  Skippy

I would only use USPS PRIORITY INSURED to ship bows. I have heard too many horror stories about the other guys.

You will not get your bow on board the plane in your carry on. It has to be in your check on luggage.

FedEx Ground does a good job on big packages-takes 5 days. They will be cheaper than USPS on big packages. I would not use UPS regardless of price.
