Flambeau Outdoors 6164SC Safe Shot Bow Case

Before purchasing I read over the reviews of those who purchased the case. Several had something to complain about. Most were about the assembly of the arrow keepers (2) and the velcro strap. It takes all but 15 min to install these pieces. The straps are adjustable to fit your specific bow size. I’m glad the option is available. The case holds and will protect my Hoyt Carbon Defiant just fine. Besides, that’s all I need from the case. For those who are on the fence about which case to purchase, this case works just fine.

A few minor issues: the rubber arrow quiver posts come uninstalled; pushing the supplied Tinnerman clips onto the plastic posts requires quite a bit of force. 30 inch arrows with field tips come close to the case edge in the top position; one might have to give up some positions if using longer arrows or long tips. Fletching vanes come close to the case with 3 vane fletching; there might be a problem with very high vanes or flu flu vanes, and/or large broadpoints. One pair of quiver notches is too close to the anti-crush posts for comfort. Case latches came installed on the bottom (part with the foam), meaning they had to open down to open the case, but it's easy to remove them and reinstall them on the top piece (part with the arrow quiver inside, brand name outside). Velcro straps are installed with screws to posts in the case, leaving the metal screw heads exposed, potentially scratching or damaging bow limbs; it's possible to work around that by placing the bow away from the screw heads, weaving the loop (soft) part of the Velcro straps around and through the limbs, then securing with the hook part over the top. Probably sturdy enough for storage and personal transport (car/truck/boat), but I wouldn't trust it to a third party (especially not an airline).

This Bow Case is a great case for the Money. The Pictures show 4 orange closure stoppers 2 on the lid and 2 on the base. The actual case only comes with 2 orange caps on the base. The Lid only has the black hollow, oval columns with no orange caps on them. I closed the lid carefully and the black hollow columns on the lid do come to rest on the orange caps of the base. I actually purchased one from a sporting retailer and returned it thinking it was missing 2 orange caps for the lid. Then I saw the same one here on Amazon for a little less so I said SWEEET. But this one from Amazon was missing the 2 orange caps on the lid too, AND Amazon Did not ship it in a Box but rather a Huge grey plastic bag. It arrived with a couple Dings, but at this point who cares. The arrows don't fit well in the quivers on the inside of the lid, they are so tight I thought they might develop a warped shaft so I took them out. There are 2 straps that use velcro to hold the bow in securely place during transport. All in All this low cost bow case is well worth the money to protect your bow. Just buy an external quiver to protect your arrows without damage and you will Be Good to Go! If Amazon did not just give every employee a raise to $15.00 per hour, maybe they could afford to ship their products in a Box to protect them during shipping.

If you have ever used a Plano Pillarlock series case, you will be sorely disappointed. I bought this case specifically for its long axle to axle length... wont hold my bow because of the brace height. PSE Perform X is a 40" axle, with large cams, and a seven inch brace. The pillars were sitting on the cables.Additionally, the four clips to secure it? Two were incorrectly attached and warped so they would not open/close without side/side manipulation.Plano pillarlocks have center pillars that join together, interlocking slightly. This case has pillars that can be manufactured as poorly as possible because they simply meet on an orange glide. No interlocking to keep them tight when compressed, they can easily slide off each other. Plastic is thin, and seems flimsy.Returning as soon as possible.

THE UPSIDE: The case itself is great, sizable, durable, almost just as good quality as the Plano competitor and they more than make up for the minimal differences with some extra features that Plano didn't bother with. Normally I'd be very happy, as Plano products just won't ship to my location because people don't understand how mail to an APO address works.THE DOWNSIDE: My only complaint is that all the internals of the product were missing. No rubber arrow holders, no retaining strap, nothing... Just the case itself. Unfortunately I don't have the time to go through the return and replace process through Amazon, so I'm stuck with finding an alternate solution to arrow storage while still using this case for the bow with strap I added myself. It seems like I'm not the only one who got screwed over like this, and I don't know if its a manufacture issue or an Amazon issue, but it can't be fixed now. Really a bummer because I want to recommend this case over the Plano models, but getting it incomplete just killed my ability to endorse it.

It's a real good case I am happy with it. It has the 3 and 4 blade broad head tighteners built in to the case. Very sturdy case little hevyer than my old one and is thinner also. The only thing is that it didn't come with is the caps for both the sides of support towers. It only came with 1 side of caps. Have to say it is alot better than my last one.

This case was heavier than I expected. I originally purchased it for my 8 year old boy (built like a 10 year old). His bow fit in it well but was to bulky for him to carry a long distance.I ended up putting an adult size Hoyt compound bow in it. I like that I can put the straps where I want them to fit to the bow and having the arrow holder is nice as well. I have to remove the quiver to get it to close with the arrows placed in the case. The sight and stabilizer fit fine but it’s snug.

Those of you considering this case. It provides good protection for someone transporting their bow in a car. Not sturdy enough for air travel as they throw cases around. It is a big case but if you have a target bow with sights you need one this big. Has tie straps inside case.
