Thread: Transporting a long bow

Hi Team,

After some advise on transporting a bow to the South Island. It’s a 64” and I just wanted to check if you could take it on the plane as oversize luggage? Otherwise is it best to ship it and if so, who would you recommend?

Appreciate any feedback.

It wasn't quite as long as that but I sent some fragile 1.4m stuff via Aramax inside a length of PVC downpipe. It turned out to be a good rigid form of packaging. I guessed it would need to be able to handle a bit of abuse.
Depending on the amount of curve in it unstrung a larger but slightly flattened pipe may work for you.

I was wondering that myself. I think it might be the best bet

Or a thick cardboard tube
