Crossbow carrying case

A carrying case for an assembled crossbow including a stock comprising

• opposed base and cover sections made from sheets of a flexible material and having a generally triangular shape, an end portion and a pair of side edge portions diverging toward said end edge portion and each having opposite ends, a first end joining said end edge portion and a second end joining said second end of the other side edge portion;
• an end section interconnecting said base and cover sections along said end edge portion to permit movement of said cover section relative to said base section between a closed position wherein said base and cover sections are in facing relationship and cooperate to define a compartment for receiving an assembled crossbow and an open position wherein said cover is folded back away from said base section to permit access to the crossbow;
• fastener means for releaseably fastening said base and cover sections together along said side edge portions when said cover section is in the closed position;
• retainer means for releaseably securing the crossbow, a quiver carrying arrows and a crossbow cocking mechanism to said base section inside said compartment including
• a first pair of longitudinally spaced tie down straps secured to the inner surface of said base section at locations corresponding to the vicinity of the narrowed hand grip section of the crossbow stock and to the vicinity of the portion of the crossbow immediately forward of the forehand grip of the crossbow stock, each of said crossbow tie down straps having opposed free end portions with a combined length sufficient to surround respective portions of the crossbow;
• a second pair of longitudinally spaced tie down straps secured to the inner surface of said base section at locations laterally spaced from one side of said crossbow tie down straps and corresponding to longitudinally spaced portions of a quiver, each of said quiver tie down straps having opposed free end portions with a combined length sufficient to surround respective portions of the quiver, and
• a third pair of longitudinally spaced tie down straps secured to the inner surface of said base section at locations laterally spaced from the other side of said crossbow tie down straps and corresponding to longitudinally spaced portions on a cocking mechanism for the crossbow, each of said cocking mechanism tie down straps having opposed free end portions with a combined length sufficient to surround respective portions of the cocking mechanism;
• gripping means on said free end portions of said crossbow, quiver and cocking mechanism tie down straps adapted to permit said free end portions to adjustably and releaseably grip each other;
• and
• a strip of wear resistant material on the inner surface of said base section and on the inner surface of said cover section and extending substantially between the juncture of said side edge portions and said end edge portion and at a location corresponding to that of the crossbow stock when crossbow is secured to said base section.
