Hi I want to upgrade from my little field locker, as it is just not big enough. I would ideally like to get my quiver in, aswell as bow/arrows/tools/etc. My budget is around £100, but could stretch if worthwhile. What do you recommend? Vic _________________ . . .www.VictoriasPortraits.co.uk . . .

Well I have my recurve in one of those Shoqq hard cases they are very good and can get almost everything in and being a hard case is very well protected and can be thrown in the boot without fear. they cost about £50 - £60. Then for my quiver, clothing (jumper etc), and other misc soft stuff, I use a Hockey bag, cost me £6 from one of those sports outlet shops. the quiver fits nicely in the hockey stick section. _________________ My shoes are too tight, but it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.

There are quite a few about like this at Merlin http://www.merlinarcherycentre.co...ABS_Recurve_Case_with_Wheels.html Similar at www.Quicks.com Some are quite large but you can get everything in or something smaller and another bag like Mjollnir has suggested I have an old Gompy which is a bit the worse for wear now so I may be looking soon too _________________ aka Cherrie Secretary Black Arrow Field Archery Club

Hi Roadrunner No you haven't missed anything! beer money sounds very sensible. Unfortunately I am a sucker for buying new kit, especially if I can justify a need for it - which I can here! Vic _________________ . . .www.VictoriasPortraits.co.uk . . .

These things are a little personal, but I bought a shotq case online and didn't like it at all. I ended up selling it on ebay (and amazingly getting more than I paid for it ) My main reasons for not liking it was I thought the hinge mechanism did not look robustly engineered and more importantly the lid which held the arrows only hinged back to 90 degrees rather than opening up fully. I now use an Aurora Back Pack case, which is comfortable to use, soft pads everything for protection and holds everything I will ever need.
