One of our club members who travels a lot has a Everst 44 and a few trips ago a luggage handler pulled off the strap on his case. I've got a Legend Atom for my recurve bow and associated gear and I love it. Lots of space and pockets, fits everything including my scope & tripod as well as hip quiver.
I got the missus one for her bow a few years ago.. Its saved my ears from the moaning. 'My archery kit is heavy' I like the added protection of my bow bunker hard case tho the added room of the Everest 40 would come in handy. The large zipped mesh storage cubbies are great.
ok! I'll add my 50p I'm in the UK & 2wk's ago I purchased the 44" version of the Everest compound cases "I believe its the newest version out, I could be wrong???" anyway this was literally 2 weeks ago now. my PSE Citation 37" target bow is 46" in total length (anyone needing to know the full size of the PSE Citation 37, its 46" end to end) the Everest 44 was the largest case available in my local archery supplies store, which I've purchases parts from online etc for months now... anyway, yes it fits x2 bows, my PSE 37 Citation can't fit straight in the case its more angled corner to corner& it pushes out slightly (not sure/confident the cam covers would actually offer any real protection if the case is dropped on the edge's where-by the cam is most proud etc) my very 1st storage of equipment (listed below) highlighted the very same issue talked about... one of the side handles I held & rotated the case around ready to stand the case upright & literally the 1st attempt to picking the case up "one handed" the handle popped the threading to the handle on one side (so the handle is literally very very weakly fitted) what was inside the case at the time, ok 1 supplied plastic arrow tube with x12 carbon arrows within 4 rolls of targets Triple vertical style target sheets maybe x20 in total, Triple in the triangular style target placement style again maybe 8-9 in total, lastly x8-9 60cm target faces x1 old 30" stabiliser bar with a stock weight on end (not multiple weights on a single item) my original classic Browning 50# compound made of fibre glass & weights more then half the weight then the PSE Citation (like for like, with no accessories) small parts ie spare fletching's, arm guard, nocks, spare arrow rest etc THATS ALL so yes, anyone claiming the handles can handle weight or are well fitted sorry my 44" Everest case doesn't display this, I can & will video & upload my case, for ppl to see (its not fully off but if I lifted further up, or rotated the case etc it would be hanging loose now) so for future use etc, yes I'm going to be adding re-enforcement's to the handles & surrounding area's including adding added stitching to the basic handles fitted, the shoulder strap, I've fitted & after experience the happenings with the one handle snapping the stitching's etc (as above) I've not even tried, nor want to try lifting certainly a very light case load.... as again each end of the strap locating points are to a single small patch added to the external face with no re-enforcements added so this would snap-loose incredibly easily.... the wheels etc seem on & pulling the case my help, however travelling via plane or with 3rd parties involved expect to receive a damaged case upon arrival.. so yes, in the next few days I'll take a video of the case & the contents, pointing out the damaged handle etc (I'll even put my citation within so ppl can see the fitment etc)
i ordered my everest 44 from germany ended up being 450 AUD including shipping took about a month but was worth it because i couldn’t find anyone in australia with the one i wanted brand new for under 500
That is why we do not buy Legend, we need to be able to use it with 23-30kg 1 or 2 bows + complete equipment + clothes) and this works without problems with the Easton while the Legend is just breaking immediately. Just heard you said the Easton is probably made in the same factory, I do not know about that but the Material, quality and longevity are completely different to Legend (and most probably all the others). For those who travel a lot, absolutely worth every penny.
Irony on the warranty complaint. Lol I would be way more concerned about the case being crushed in transit. Straps that wrapped around the entire case would be easy and supportive.
Had a Legend recurve backpack, the plastic buckle on the strap broke first day of use. Contacted Legend about a warranty and all they would do was send a new buckle and told me to find someone to sew it on! Terrible service and won't touch one of their products again.
Seems sensible to me... What was you expecting? You wanted them to take your case back, postage paid, repair it or send you a whole new case and then send you it back? All for a plastic buckle that costs $1
@@sahhull it was the cheap plastic buckle that made the bag useless once it broke first use. Lancaster who sold me the item offered a full refund no questions asked which I declined as I didn't think it was fair on them to wear the cost of poor manufacturing. My issue is don't offer a warranty if you dont fix it.😀😀

Hey mate! Seems that you are having alot of warranty issues lately.. cases , arrows, strings, limbs.. I really like your videos but worked in customer service and sales for 30 yrs. As fun as you being knowledgeable and helping people get the right stuff. I got out of it. Too many outside parameters and people that prevented me of giving the best customer service with my awsome knowledge. So basically I wasent my fault, it was all the incompetent people screwing up my orders and companies screwing up and not stand up to their products. Couldn't cope with that as much as I loved working in the business. You went through hard times with your health, really scarry. You are obviously doing well. Maybe you should take time off for you and step off retail selling. Take care of the business but don't get involved that much in warranty problems. I know you want to inform people about stupid claims, but it's irritating as a view. Not hating mate! Love your channel! Just giving you my feelings about your last videos.. cheers!🎯🙏❤️👍👌
Today is another claim on this case. I do these videos to inform people. So that they understand before buying what the warrenty is and is not. The likely hood that they will be looked after. I find it does help. Because the customer can decide what to buy and not what to buy. We will still get complaints. Several a day. But it is easier to reference the video.
This is why I watch your channel. You are the only person who tells it like it is, and doesn't care what the company thinks.
Can you imagine Lancaster archery being that honest!? 😅😅😅
Yes he is !!

Glad to see that you are doing better. Waiting for your review on the PSE Shootdown Pro. Keep up the great reviews !! --JP

I have the same case, made a trip with two bows to Namibia. Works great!
ok! I'll add my 50p I'm in the UK & 2wk's ago I purchased the 44" version of the Everest compound cases "I believe its the newest version out, I could be wrong???" anyway this was literally 2 weeks ago now.
my PSE Citation 37" target bow is 46" in total length (anyone needing to know the full size of the PSE Citation 37, its 46" end to end) the Everest 44 was the largest case available in my local archery supplies store, which I've purchases parts from online etc for months now...
anyway, yes it fits x2 bows, my PSE 37 Citation can't fit straight in the case its more angled corner to corner& it pushes out slightly (not sure/confident the cam covers would actually offer any real protection if the case is dropped on the edge's where-by the cam is most proud etc) my very 1st storage of equipment (listed below) highlighted the very same issue talked about...
one of the side handles I held & rotated the case around ready to stand the case upright & literally the 1st attempt to picking the case up "one handed" the handle popped the threading to the handle on one side (so the handle is literally very very weakly fitted)
what was inside the case at the time, ok
1 supplied plastic arrow tube with x12 carbon arrows within
4 rolls of targets
Triple vertical style target sheets maybe x20 in total, Triple in the triangular style target placement style again maybe 8-9 in total, lastly x8-9 60cm target faces
x1 old 30" stabiliser bar with a stock weight on end (not multiple weights on a single item)
my original classic Browning 50# compound made of fibre glass & weights more then half the weight then the PSE Citation (like for like, with no accessories)
small parts ie spare fletching's, arm guard, nocks, spare arrow rest etc
THATS ALL
so yes, anyone claiming the handles can handle weight or are well fitted sorry my 44" Everest case doesn't display this, I can & will video & upload my case, for ppl to see (its not fully off but if I lifted further up, or rotated the case etc it would be hanging loose now) so for future use etc, yes I'm going to be adding re-enforcement's to the handles & surrounding area's including adding added stitching to the basic handles fitted, the shoulder strap, I've fitted & after experience the happenings with the one handle snapping the stitching's etc (as above) I've not even tried, nor want to try lifting certainly a very light case load.... as again each end of the strap locating points are to a single small patch added to the external face with no re-enforcements added so this would snap-loose incredibly easily.... the wheels etc seem on & pulling the case my help, however travelling via plane or with 3rd parties involved expect to receive a damaged case upon arrival..
so yes, in the next few days I'll take a video of the case & the contents, pointing out the damaged handle etc (I'll even put my citation within so ppl can see the fitment etc)

I have one of these. Great for car boots, no good for planes.
