Thanks, they are 35mm film cannisters.Bullzeye wrote:Thats a nice set up. What are those 8 white cylinder looking things ?
I keep extra stuff in there, field points, grapplers, and broadheads packed in cotton. The one by the trigger has the 2 screws for the riser/limbs.

film bottles, Excellent idea!! I like that, I been looking around for a small covered box to strap into my case, but I think I will borrow your idea.

Stop by your local Wallmart photo, they usually have a box or bag of them set aside for recycling and are happy to give them away.Bullzeye wrote:film bottles, Excellent idea!! I like that, I been looking around for a small covered box to strap into my case, but I think I will borrow your idea.
Make sure to get the white ones opposed to the standard black with a grey lid, they have a convex lid that seats the stem of the broadhead perfectly.

Thanks for the tip, I will see which I like best, the white film canister or these small pill bottles I have at home. What I like about the pill bottle is the see through cap so I can see whats inside.

Re: Hard side case for Excals????
Great idea pydpiper. What model Plano case did you use?
Re: Hard side case for Excals????
Pydpiper, as long as we (I) are being nosey, what is the yellow thing on the left? It looks like a carabiner.

The case is a Plano Pillerlock. I got it on clearance at WallMart for $20, I bought 2 (all they had) so I could get the extra straps and foam.rich l wrote:Great idea pydpiper. What model Plano case did you use?
If you look close you can see the stirrup goes perfectly around the carrying handle, takes any stress off the straps as the case is sitting in it's natural position.
I would swear they made this case for this purpose, it all fits flawlessly.

That is a Lansky combination broadhead wrench and sharpener.Allan wrote:Pydpiper, as long as we (I) are being nosey, what is the yellow thing on the left? It looks like a carabiner.
Below that is a blue "T" handle wrench to assemble the bow.
To the far right is a nylon bag containing a spare string, spare stringer, spare rope cocker, some extra hardware and allen wrenches.

Re: Hard side case for Excals????
Not terribly sure, I can't seem to find any writing besides the "Pillerlock". It's a great case, I can jump up and down on it with no ill effect.. Not bad for 20 bucks.robertyb wrote:Is it the Plano Pillerlock 18 arrow model?

Re: Hard side case for Excals????
Believe it or not, I worked for Plano molding in Plano, Il in the late '70's. I was one of only two tool and die makers there. It ended poorly, lol.
That xbow case looks too much like a portable hangar for a Piper Cub for my tastes.

I'm cool with it though, if you were there behind the design it would explain why I can jump on it!

Re: Hard side case for Excals????
I have the same case as Pyd
Saw it a couple of years ago and made one the same
Just a great idea David
My case is a Pillerlock Protector, works great and
is exactly what I was looking for.
