Best way to send a bow?

I used to do a good amount of bow hunting but just don't have the time anymore to even stay in practise. My nephew who lives 1600 miles is interested in taking up archery and I'd like to send him the bow (Martin compound) and all the goodies that go with it (arrows, release, etc) What is the best way to pack and send it to him and have a reasonable chance of it arriving in the same shape it left here in?

    Bubble wrap it all to pieces then put it in a packing box. Or best way is to buy a cheap hard case then put it in a packing box. I sent one that way a few years ago.

    Pack it up good with bubble wrap and packing peanuts in a cardboard box, insure it for the price of a new one and send it UPS. Hopefully UPS will end up buying your nephew a brand new bow to start out with[;)]

    To add to Suspension's remark. If they do lose it, they may try to make you prove its value, regardless of what it is insured for. It's better to not over-insure it, as that will raise eyebrows, and may make them scrutinize your claim intricately.

    [8D] UPS WILL WRAP YOUR BOW FOR YOU AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE AND GAURENTEE PACKAGE ARRIVES IN GOOD CONDITION. HOPEFULLY THEY PROVIDE THIS SERVICE IN YOUR AREA.

    GOOD LUCK, HOPE YOUR NEPHEW BECOMES A GREAT BOW HUNTER. IT'S A NICE GIFT.
