Title: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: 2fletch on January 05, 2016, 05:14:00 PM: Someone asked me that just the other day and I thought that it would be a good time to answer that on this site. Karen and I have been busy so far this winter and it's just slowed up a little. Thanks to many of you for the business. We sincerely appreciate it.

Now let's look at the upcoming year. We have several new products that I'd like to show you. One of them is our Mesa series bow quivers. We now make them for 1, 2, 3, and 4 arrows, in different sizes for different length broadheads, in a variety of color and types of leather. Of course, as with all of our quivers they are available in wrap, limb bolt, or side mount attachments, and with the Totem and/or Wing setback feature. We have also furthered our Cochise line of bow quivers to the point that we are very pleased with them.

It's close to chow time and I'm going to have to hurry this. I'll try to show more photos later. Right now to concentrate on the Mesa. Please give me your opinion.

Post by: Possum Head on January 05, 2016, 07:41:00 PM: Very well constructed and I would imagine the edge of a broadhead would never come into contact with the cover, a real plus. I still favor your hooded versions and as soon as I order my new stick I'll opt for another. Wasn't it you that posted a pic awhile back of an all green version? It was a real looker and needs to be shown on your site. No consultant fee just sayin!

3 arrow Tall Mesa with sharkskin face on one of my favorite personal bows. I have been shooting with it this year.

Post by: meatCKR on January 05, 2016, 10:14:00 PM: Wow! Just Wow! Gotta get me one of these! I shoot the 250 Cutthroat screw in. Two blade single bevel and the blade is 2.25 inches from tip to back of the blade. Which Mesa would you recommend for such a broadhead? My bow has a bubinga riser with black limbs so for color, I am thinking that one pictured on the far left would match perfectly!

Thanks!

Steve

Post by: meatCKR on January 05, 2016, 10:15:00 PM: Also - will the standard gripper work with Axis Traditionals? Or is there a special gripper I would need to order for that arrow?

Thanks!

Steve

I'll have a few at the Kalamazoo Expo the end of this month. Of coarse they'll have my Shrew Logo on them. :D

Post by: Jwilliam on January 06, 2016, 01:55:00 AM: Good looking quivers Don. :thumbsup:
Title: Re: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: 2fletch on January 06, 2016, 09:44:00 AM: Ron, that's a great combination...,a nice Shrew bow and a nice 3 arrow Shrew Mesa. I think that lightweight high performance bows like the Shrew benefit from being matched with a matched quiver. Good luck at Kalamazoo. I wish that I could see you there.

meatCKR, that color is what we call Osage Gold. It's a new color for us and one that we like also. For Axis shafts you would benefit by using a smaller gripper. Give us a heads up when you order to be sure of getting the smaller gripper.

More photos will be coming.
Title: Re: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: 2fletch on January 06, 2016, 04:18:00 PM: If it works out then the next photo will be of a 2 arrow Tall Mesa on the bow. This quiver will hold up to a 3 1/4" broadhead.

Funny how I was looking at the EFA two dbl blade for my new shrew when I read about the 3 dbl blade coming out and said to myself I'll have to wait. :pray:

Then Ron had to post his shrew with the new 3 dbl blade on it. Called Ron right away and ordered one. What choice did I have? :dunno:
Title: Re: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: 2fletch on January 07, 2016, 09:01:00 AM: Just to be clear, the Mesa bow quiver series that we make is strictly for two blade broadheads.
Title: Re: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: Terry Green on January 07, 2016, 09:24:00 AM: If I was a 2 blade shooter I'd be all over these!!!

Really nice looking quivers!

Title: Re: What Has EFA Been Up To?
Post by: 2fletch on January 20, 2016, 01:59:00 PM: Well, I love it when things slow down a little bit and allows some spare time. That's when I get to work on ideas that have been simmering for awhile. One of those is the Geronimo quiver. I'll be posting it shortly on Sponsor's Classified if Photobucket cooperates. Also, will be two armguards with different color combinations.
