Kip- I just discovered the trick to this packing problem. I had heard guys mention this before but I assumed they were talking about a hard shelled golf club travel case. I was beating the bushes looking for a single bag that could handle everything when I remembered I had bought a very heavy golf bag cover w/wheels that holds everything-arrow case, 2 takedown bows, sleeping bag, 2pr. boots, clothes-the whole deal. No room left and it weighs a ton but it seems like the way to go. PM me and we'll go over whatever issues you are having. I really wanted to avoid using two bags also. Grant
