This customizable lower compartment houses up to 10 arrows, which can be stored with broadheads attached. Additional space houses a quiver and other accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case is impregnated with a Zerust vapor corrosion inhibitor (or VCI) insert that protects metals from moisture and rust for up to five years. The double wall construction creates a small air pocket that acts as a shock absorber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Note: <\/b>Interior dimensions are 40.62 inches long by 14.44
