Do You think this will work with a EFA quiver?

Guru - very good idea. thanks, nice presentation.

Mooseman - 3rivers carries an rubber strap attachment point for a fishing reel that well also take a string tracker.

I sure think a string tracker is a good idea when hunting turkey.

Bretto, Not sure,the EFA's are pretty soft leather....


MM76, Like Rusty said....3 Rivers and some others I'm sure carry rubber strap adapters from AMS and Great Northern that can easily be used on trad bows....


Last year I had Miss faith for a weekend of hunting and this is the set-up I used...An EFA quiver(that I didn't want to drill)with the AMS adapter...

or you can use a home-made tape on bracket a la Ferret...I'll get a pick of one I made for one bow I was gonna use.....


Thanx fellas...always glad to help [Not Worthy]

Thanks trashwood and Guru. I forgot all about those brackets.

Guru, is there an advatange to mounting the string above, as opposed to underneath the arrow?

This should work out good. I shot a bird two years ago that took off running and I heard him flapping around on the ground, but we could not find him (he stopped moving by the time I got out of the blind). By luck we happened upon him in some pretty thick laurel by moving slowly in the direction he ran off. And you are right about no blood trail! Thanks for your help...Mike

Ed Blankenship, custom call maker, makes a wooden tab that goes under your limb bolt. a brass boss drilled into the wooden tab projects off the limb butt over the riser. works nice for take-downs

The strap-on adapters will work for ya......

And on your earlier question...probably doesn't make a diff., but I figured it certainly doesn't hurt having it above the arrow to off set the drag a little. But like I mentioned earlier at close range, I've never noticed a diff. in a shot with or without the string attached...

Here's the little home-made bracket I spoke of earlier....It's very easy to bend one up...and can be taped on and bent to fit about any bow....

Great idea Drew [thumbsup]
