Have Bow Will Travel // Flying with your bow

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

I have flown with my bow a couple of times and had zero issues. In Jackson Wyoming they even put it behind the check in counter when I arrived as an added security measure so someone else didn't walk off with my gear. The ladies at check in even put "Handle with Care" tags on it when I asked them nicely in my thickest Aussie accent.

Nice!

Love my Pelican Air case.

[@Landongold24k]

I love my pelican air 1745. It’s been all over North America and Africa with me with zero issues

[@jayonez137]

The pelican is a nice case. I’m kind of stuck on the SKB I series. Where are the pelican air 17 45s made? Are they made in the US? I try to buy everything I can that’s made in the US

Grim Reaper makes some awesome heads. I used the 3Blade Hades micro on my whitetail last season, and had a 25 yard runaway truck ramp to follow the blood trail... where he basically snowplowed 10 yards to a stop.

[@josephdipietro8367]

that was cool, great heads up! 👍

[@MrChabon]

Great video and great add on at the end.

[@steven_farmer89]

This is perfect, great video. I am looking at the same case.

[@ElkShape]

Glad it was helpful!

[@southernbowhunter]

What case is that?

[@steven_farmer89]

@@southernbowhunter I believe it's the 1745...I just spoke to the SVA guys and they said they are making a case that's very similar for a fraction of the price.

[@drewmalcovsky9068]

@@steven_farmer89 Any word on that case?

Be interested to see a video on best binocs for large game hunting

nice setup

[@ElkShape]

thanks G!

[@stephenchenier5005]

Awesome video thank you for the detailed gear list! What quiver is that on your bow? Also this now case looks prime I might have to upgrade!

[@jayonez137]

It sucks flying with my bow. I’ve had TSA people mess with my stuff. I personally know people who had their bow stolen. Another one of my hunting buddies had a TSA agent open up their bow case and opened up his container of broad heads and threw the Broadheads back into the bow case and one of them cut his cables 1/4 way thru. When I hunt Kansas I drive the 21 hours. First off it costs Way too much money to bring a lot of stuff on the plane including a back up bow and in Eastern Kansas end of Oct beginning of November it could be 70° or it could be below 25° So I like to bring by early, mid and late season Sitka gear. Just way easier driving. However it’s not always feasible if you don’t have the time. Sometimes I have no choice but to fly. I use Large SKB I series cases. The large holds my bow plus a lot of my clothes/gear. And always have 2 bow cases with me

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Mate that sucks for your buddy. I have found being proactive and walking the TSA through what is in the case, and explaining how delicate it is has worked for me. You'll always have someone that doesn't care and will do what they want, but if you can get ahead of it all the better.

[@jayonez137]

@@WillsGoneWalkabout Yeah and it definitely matters where you are from. I’m from New Jersey and fly out of Newark airport. That place is straight up ghetto. Nobody gives a crap about anything. If I fly out of Allentown PA airport it’s a totally different world. Unfortunately a lot of flights do not leave out of Allentown so I don’t always have that option. And considering how much it costs for luggage I try to drive If I have the time for the traveling. If I do fly I don’t keep my Broadheads in my bow case.

Coming out with a video on your Texas hunt?

[@5MinuteMaj0r]

I also went with the Pelican Air Bow Case. I haven't flown with it yet and am curious of the experiences for a out and back with airport security. Should be easier than travelling with rifles and ammo.

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Rob, I have flown with my bow a couple of times and had zero issues. In Jackson Wyoming they even put it behind the check in counter when I arrived as an added security measure so someone else didn't walk off with my gear. In Houston Texas they had a dedicated area holding it until I arrived. Zero questions at either other than show us your ID to verify it is yours. Good luck on your trip mate.

[@jayonez137]

Where are the pelican air 1745 bow cases made?

[@5MinuteMaj0r]

Isn’t everything made in China? My Google-Fu found only Vault cases are made in Mexico and all other Pelican cases are made in USA.

[@jayonez137]

@@5MinuteMaj0r No, everything is not made in China. SKB is not made in China

What is the best way to fly with the horns and cape

[@danielschultz955]

So you shoot 5mm Rip Tkos and have 4mm spare arrows in the tube? Bow retune in between? Sight tape? Or did I miss something?

[@ericandlindydubbelde3538]

Dan what do you use to get meat back home? Economical and best in your opinion

[@HaveBowWillTravel]

Thanks for the shout out😂

[@crossbowhunter9118]

What case is that for the compound bow.

[@wyattmills5487]

Why aren’t you using the pelican case you cut out for your bow? In the near future I am looking to buy a hard case for my V3 31” and I am not sure which one to get. Pelican bow case, SKB Mathews, or a Pelican 1745…?

[@johncannady6105]

Why did you choose the Pelican over a SKB? I'm asking because I am in the market for a good hard case for traveling. Thanks!

[@ElkShape]

They're both solid!

[@jayonez137]

Anyone know where the pelican cases are made? They are pretty nice I seen them recently at one of the archery shops in my area. I’m a huge SKB guy. The SKB cases are heavier which may matter when paying for luggage on a plane. I don’t know how much it would matter though

[@markbarefield7570]

That’s the case I’ve been eyeballing. How do you like it.

[@ElkShape]

all good thus far!

[@vancejohnson1778]

What arrow tube is that one?

[@Allegiance_Outdoors]

Probably a silly question, but where do you stow your stabilizers?

[@jayonez137]

In my SKB cases I cut slots into the foam and my stabilizer and back bar fit right in perfectly. That’s also how I hold my hand releases

[@Williamaimstrue]

What camo is that

I have flew with a bolt action rifle to florda 1 time it was not bad from Ohio

you don't have to check in those 2 guns you're carrying?

[@ElkShape]

No firearms for me on the trip down to TX... otherwise yes I would have.

[@caninphx]

why are you donating knives to security? they actually can store them or you can ship them back to your address. I've had to do that a few times in the past when I forgot my Chris Reeves on me. I just walked out of the line went to the shipping area grab the padded envelope and shipped it off. presume it's going to depend on what airport yet but a lot of them have that option.

[@ElkShape]

word!

[@jayonez137]

I never knew that. I’ve never donated anything to TSA. I try to make sure I don’t have anything on me that I have to give away
