Take-down bow case!

I bought an MTM arrow plus case from Kustom King and outfitted it to hold my take-down bow, quiver, a doz arrows, broadheads, and misc accessories. Pretty cool I thought. The foam is the dense innerlocking matts they sell at Lowes. It is textured on one side which made gluing the three layers together troublesome, hence the drywall screws! :huh: Some better foam would make it better, but this one is staying as is, since I have better things to do with my time.

Very nice! Wish I would have seen this before I bought a case for just arrows.

Very nicely done. I made two using Plano Field Locker Arrow Cases. Finding the foam can be tricky. When I made mine, thick foam was a common packing material. Google "upholstery foam" may help.

first I gotta say it looks great, then I will say why I laughed my butt off when I read the post. . .
after you explained why you used the drywall screws the emotocon isn't working so it just said huh which instantly made me picture it being said in a Tim Allen voice from Home Improvement, lol.
But really it looks great, how much was the total investment . . . if you don't mind me asking?

The case was $28. I'm embarrassed to say what I paid for this crappy foam. I'm gonna look around for a more appropriate piece. Prolly find the perfect piece in a dumpster some where.

Nice! I soooooooo wish I would have seen this last year before I bought this fancy SKB case that holds 2 bows and arrows & all the goodies. I paid about $180 bucks for that darn thing. Two of your homemade cases would probably been a whole lot cheaper! Thanks for posting! I need to try making one.

Great job.
Hobby Lobby sells some foam that works quite well. I use a takedown double barrel shotgun case. I have custom cut different foam inserts (interchangeable with velcro) so that with the same case I can carry any two or three piece bow/quiver/arrows/accessories, my over-under shotgun, or my TC Encore.

I was just thinking about the same thing. I just ordered a 3 pc TD and was thinking about how to carry it with arrows on my motorcycle. I think you have given me a great idea!
Now I have to figure out how to take my game home on the back of my motorcycle!
Very Nice!

Very cool.
I put my 3pc takedown in a rifle case that I wasn't using anymore. Works great so far.
