Anyone have a picture of how a bow is secured in the bag? Is it snug enough to climb a stand (or pull the bag on a haul line) with the bow strapped?

The bow works great. It's tight the first few times, but it loosens. Have fun with it!

Hi, I love this bag purely for its looks, and not for its practicality. It has two straps and one carrying handle. The bag is only suitable for a small guitar, and I ended up buying a parlour guitar solely so that I could use the bag as my regular guitar was to big by far. It doesn't provide much protection, and is more a dust cover that a gig bag. Having said that, it was what I was looking for in that it is entirely different from the usual, and I love it for what it is. However, there is no doubt that it has limited use, I wouldn't trust it for going in the overhead locker when flying etc.. It's a shame that it wasn't an altogether bigger and sturdier bag and if I found one that was, I would buy that instead, as I never really feel safe taking my guitar out. Hope this helps.

Well my mission craze bow fits in it perfect, but with my sight on there its about a half inch to narrow. Other than that it's a solid case and I wish it would have worked out. So depending on your accessories it would be a good case for a mission craze.

Yes :) I got it as my beginner bow. Also because I am a very tiny woman lol. It's got great pull and sturdy.

The bag will not stand on its own. There is a dowel that runs up the top half of the spine, but the bottom half is soft. I hang mine by the strap at the range to keep it upright.

In my opinion, absolutely not. It is a great case to bring your stuff to and from the 3D archery range, or even for hunting (while in your immediate control)...but definitely not strong or secure enough to keep your bows secure for airline travel. If you plan on traveling with your bow on an airline, invest in a much better case.

Instructions given are for use with the cargo carrier specified: one that has the slots through which the short end of strap attaches via the oval ring. If you have that carrier: at top of bag feed the long end of s strap under the buckle attached to the top of the bag and up through the second slot and down through the first slot. If done properly you can pull on the buckle end of the strap without the strap slipping and you can pull on the short end to tighten the strap. Repeat the process with the short- end after feeding the short-end of strap through oval ring. Place the ring through the slot in the carrier and tighten. If you're like me and have a different carrier, buy some ratcheting tie-downs and wrap them around the bag and carrier once filled. I think that is a better solution anyway as the rubber attachment points on the bag could tear out. The bag is waterproof and I'm satisfied with it.

I used a guitar strap for mine and would recommend a strap style which would allow you to pull tighten to keep the bow close to your body.

It is stuffed and ready to go. The stand however is not very good. You can hang it by arope or hook and it works well. Easy to get the arrows out and has a deer silhoutte on the back with the vital parts.

I didn't seem to have a problem with this when i set it up. Unfortunately I do not have access to my bow where i am today but my quiver is very secure with the bolts that came with the product.

As I've said in prior posts this is a great bag i've owned it for a little over a year now and it's getting ready to go on it's second hunting season. This bag will absolutely accommodate a bow or rifle it's all about how you lash it on to the back. For the money you cannot go wrong with this back I highly recommend it to anyone.

I own two Alps packs and they Abbott excellent. The Dark Timber does not have a place to strap a rifle but if you take a look at the Pursuit pack, it will facilitate a bow or rifle. Again, both are excellent packs!

I have a Bowtech Assassin in this case, but I have not attempted to store it with the quiver attached. I have to buy the mounting bracket to connect the quiver to the case, so I currently use the included velcro straps to store the (loaded) quiver on the lid with the additional arrows. Great case, just still have to buy the bracket for the quiver (don't think there's a way to store it with the quiver attached).

I am using my ultra light carry bag. I have to tie the bottom straps but it works fine. I am going to go to my Ping carry bag but I am just to lazy to dig it out of the basement. I think you could use whatever bag you want.

I purchased this as a gift, the case did not close because of the scope. I returned the item. I answered another question concerning this item. The guy who asked the question took his bow to a sporting goods store & his bow did not fit into this case. Maybe you should do that. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Well, just like everyone else has already told you, Yes, you can put a padlock in the two pull handles for the zippers. AND, again as others have expressed, I suspect you will really like the bag. I took the center section and sew in some Velcro straps. The barrel with a LOOOONG Scope and bi-pod fits and straps in on one side while the stock straps in on the other. There is still room for extra mags and a few other goodies. I am elated with mine.If it were just a smidgin longer, it would not hurt my feelings.....It certainly does NOT lQQk like a gun case.
