Carry Case for the CTX3030

[TabWhisperer]

I think most sporting goods stores that carry guns have those Plano cases at pretty decent prices. I saw something like that at a local Gander Mountain last month. Yours looks real good.

That's a brilliant piece of work bigboar.

FINISHED!!!!!!

It took alot longer than expected. After the 6" coil arrives and I cut its spot out, all that is left is to spray glue the foam down.....

thanks jbs! I know that feeling of waiting! I was checking my tracking # 3 to 4 times a day just so I could see if it made any progress!!

I looked up the specs on this box and it says it weighs 25lbs... Is that correct??

 

[bigboar]

i dont remember for sure jart. i can tell you its definately not light. It is very sturdy, has wheels, and is watertight. Unfortuantely I sold it awhile back when I sold a previous ctx I owned. Now that I have another ctx I wish I wouldnt have. I am going to have to break down and buy me another and go through cutting again.

That stinks! I love the idea just don't think I could break down my ctx every time though. I have been looking into the bone collector bow case, looks pretty sturdy. I think it's back up to the top of the forum if you wanna check it out. Thanks for your reply!

^^^ That Plano B C box is MASSIVE. I ordered one, then had to return it.

Wish I had a hot wire setup for foam.

yes I saw it..and I might even go that route if I cant make myself decide to take the time to do another foam cut but I dont wanna end up kicking myself because I personally wouldnt be willing to check it in on a flight in the bow case. I am just not a fan of everything open inside and just being held in place by straps. Everything in the prior one I made was just so well protected and nothing is gonna even remotely have a chance of moving around. That plano case is one sturdy case and the few times it would get used a year it wouldnt bother me to break it down. I use the new ctx specific carry bag for regular transport so it is really only for a few trips per year with needing a hard case.

Bigboar,

Nice job on your custom cutouts!

I have the Bone collector case with the extra Plano pad in the lid. There is quite a bit of compression between the two pads helping to keep things from moving around. I would not hesitate to check mine for a flight. If I was really concerned I might use additional small foam peices to further limit contact.
