Luggage that will accomodate full length arrows?

[razorsharptokill]

Looking for a rolling duffle preferably hard side that will be long enough to place an arrow box inside. I am taking a take down recurve and a compound to SA. I want to separate the two bows so that in the event of a lost bow case I will still be able to hunt upon arrival.

You are going to have to measure your arrow case and then find a bag that you'll be able to put it in.

I have a Cabela's Alaskan Guide rolling duffel that you can put something that is 29" long into the bottom compartment but the X-Large one will go up to close to 36". But it is out of stock right now.

They have another one that is 36" long.

Those look plenty big enough. The zippers concern me though. Zippers can be breached and rezipped like it never happened. A hard side case can be locked. All of my optics, electronics etc... will be in my carry on though.

Any bag or case can be breached. If you are worried about them being unzipped and then closed again you can use TSA locks on them but if they want in they will just cut the locks and the TSA locks are only good here in the US. The green bag has double zippers on the bottom which can be locked together.

Your problem might be the length of your arrow case. I myself shoot a 31" arrow and by the time you add the tip if you leave it on and a couple inches for the case itself I would be real close to 36"

I had no problem with mine on my trip but like you I had my optics and camera gear with me in my carry on.

You could take two hard cases as luggage. One smaller one for the recurve and arrows and the larger for the compound and it's arrows and acessories. I sort of did that my first hunt with one for bow, the other for rifle. Various accesories got spread through each. My ammo went in the bow case.
Worked fine and everything was behind locks to at least slow down/complicate theft.

Clothes and optics went carry on.
