Bow case or Bow bag?
Every archer, whether they practise with traditional longbows or train with professional sports bows, needs a high-quality storage solution to protect their beloved bow. Depending on the type of bow, different requirements are placed on its storage. It is clear that compound bows can only be safely stored in a compound bag or compound case, and suitable recurve bags and cases are also produced for recurve bows. But the question remains: Bow case or Bow bag?
Both bow cases and Bow bags have obvious advantages and disadvantages. A Bow bag is lighter and more flexible than a bow case. It is easier to handle and offers a high level of carrying comfort. A somewhat heavier bow case with a hard case, on the other hand, scores points above all for its high protection factor, even in the event of rain, falls and knocks. The decision between Bow bag and bow case should therefore be made according to the intended use and aspects such as transport time - a wheeled case can shorten a longer transport route considerably. A look at the manufacturer brands also helps to assess the quality of the bags and cases.

sleeves, backpacks and belt pouches for archery
We also have bow backpacks from manufacturers such as elToro, Aurora and Avalon for the safe storage and transport of bows, arrows and accessories. In addition to offering plenty of protection for your bow, they are also very comfortable to carry. Of course, you will also find other protective items and storage solutions for your long, recurve or compound bows, such as bow sleeves and bow stands. We have the right arrow boxes and quivers for your arrows, either with or without arrow tubes. Useful accessories such as arrow pulling aids, spare nocks or replacement tips can be stored in a handy belt pouch for easy access in the field.
The bow sleeve has two major advantages: it offers reliable protection against scratches during transport and when storing the bow. During storage, attention must also be paid to the weather conditions. The bow sleeve protects the bow from moisture or direct sunlight, which can damage the material. It also has the advantage of making transport easier, as it takes the strain off your hands and arms.
Bow cases are particularly suitable for transporting recurve and compound bows. This allows you to store everything you need for your training safely and neatly. Separate compartments are used to store other equipment. This means you don't have to carry your bow or equipment individually - transport can now be effective and comfortable. The bow case also protects your bow and accessories from moisture, dust and sunlight.
With the help of a rucksack, all your archery accessories can be easily and conveniently stowed away. This means you can find everything in one place and take it with you on every outing. Your accessories are also protected from scratches or other damage. There is also often space for personal items such as a water bottle or jacket. Several pockets and compartments help to organise the individual items. Carrying it on your back makes it easier to transport, especially on the course over longer periods of time.
The Bow bag has been specially developed for transporting bows, limbs and archery accessories. The padding on the inside keeps the bow neat and safe. It protects against scratches, moisture and sunlight. Carried with a shoulder strap or carrying handle, the Bow bag is a reliable helper in the everyday life of every archer.
Belt pouches offer the advantage that accessories such as Finger tabs or releases can be stored conveniently and safely directly on the body. Thanks to the soft padded pockets, your ‘small items’ of archery equipment are always ready to hand. If this useful accessory is simply attached to your belt when travelling, your accessories can of course be stored here at all times.
