You have an email address for Nate by chance. I can't locate one.

John, From the look of your picture the quiver is starting to form to your back. You can wet it down then wear it which will speed the forming process up. The arrows in mind were also making some noise and just by changing the angle of the strap with some new holes took care of that. I have a friend that hunts with nothing else, he changed his and it is totally quiet. The more you use it the better it will be.

Yes it is breaking in ok and I do love it a lot. But I want it to be like this one pictured. I am going to either buy a softer one from Craig or this winter make a softer one. I am going to keep my original and use it.

JOHN4645 Use Lexol leather conditioner inside and out. It appears it is just starting to form to your back. It will continue to get better the more you use it. It does take time. Neetsfoot oil would probably speed up the process but you may end up with a quiver too soft. I have a Steve Catts Hill style quiver that was quite stiff when it was new but has formed perfectly through use and Lexol conditioning. I would at least give this a try before springing for a new quiver. Lexol is usually found where there is horse tack or saddlery farm or ranch supply stores.

flyfish1, the best way to adjust the strap on the quiver is to use a strong clamp at the top to experiment with different positions and angles.

Beautiful quivers Lee & John. I also have the heavier leather just now softening up. I wear it all the time & wouldn't use anything else. I did add a wool collar to the top. It is now conforming to my back & very quiet.
