Plano Field Locker Bow Case Review
Modern compound bows are not cheap. Are you tired of your investment flopping around loosely, in a poorly sealed, flimsy, plastic case, barely restrained by an inadequate amount of Velcro? If you want next level, mil-spec protection, then check out the Plano Field Locker Bow Case. In my opinion, this is one of the best bow cases currently made.

“Dri-Loc”
My biggest complaint about my old bow case: a poor seal. I travel a lot of gravel and dirt roads during the hunting season. It is incredibly disappointing to uncase a relatively new bow, or any bow for that matter, to find it completely “camouflaged” in brown dust. The Field Locker is an excellent choice for any archer looking for extra protection from the elements for their bow this fall and beyond. According to Plano, an accredited test facility certified that the Field Locker meets military specs per MIL-STD-810G in immersion, vibration, dust and transit drop. The Field Locker’s “Dri-Loc” gasket effectively seals out dust and rain, allowing worry free transportation in uncovered pickup beds, trailers, or other situations exposed to the elements. I put this case to the test over the course of the past year, and the inside of the case has remained dry and virtually dust free through heavy rains and countless trips down dry, dusty roads.
Pluck Foam
The Field Locker’s pre-perforated pluck foam provides easy customization, allowing the owner to pluck out a totally secure fit for almost any bow brand and model. I found using the pluck foam to be incredibly easy. With the pluck foam sheet flipped over, I traced out the shape of my bow and stabilizer with a Sharpie. Once I plucked out the shape, I flipped the foam sheet over and re-installed it to hide any remaining Sharpie lines. Properly installed, the pluck foam creates an incredibly secure fit for the bow and any accessories. No more inadequate Velcro, no more rattling, no more jostled sights or arrow rests.
Nice investment. I wish you the best in your plan and that you save your $10,000.
Currently deployed and boy I miss the woods. Good luck and God bless.
