Choosing archery cases and storage

Compare the case’s internal fit with the exact bow or crossbow and the accessories you plan to leave mounted. If equipment can shift, check whether its contact points meet the padding or tie-downs.

The short answer

Choose a case by its listed compatibility and interior measurements, then confirm it clears your bow with mounted accessories.

Bow or crossbow fit

Check listed bow or crossbow compatibility and any published interior measurements. Mathews says the SKB case fits bows up to 41.25 inches long, 8.25 inches tall, and 16 inches wide. Compare those limits with your exact bow and mounted setup. (Mathews SKB case listing)

Padding placement and contact

Check where the padding contacts your equipment. Overall thickness alone does not show whether the case holds your setup in place.

Tie-downs for mounted accessories

Use the case’s tie-downs to secure mounted accessories such as sights, quivers, and rests. Remove or secure loose items before closing it.

Trapped moisture and damage

Dry equipment before closing the case, and follow the case and equipment makers’ care instructions.
