I was in the all famous knife swap that Jeremy holds. Timing caught up with me, and I had to bail, much to my disgust.
Anyway, I have some leather and Im getting ready to make a quiver or two. I know there are alot of people out there who do the same so I figured I would put this out there...besides...can you ever have enough quivers? :D
I was thinking rules would be simple. Has to be functional(read huntable), something you made or "upgraded". I figure if we're making em, rh/lh shouldnt be an issue, as we could change it as needed. Capacity of a minimum of 3 arrows...
Well, what say you? Ideas...suggestions?
If you are interested, respond here. Maybe if there are enough takers we can go from there...
-
I'll play :)
I'd recommend changing it to a minimum of 3 arrows though... that opens up the mini bow quivers which are a great project - I think there's a 'how-to' somewhere around here for one as well.
-
Sent this on to my dad...I think he may want to join in.
-
Count me in. Got a few that I have built.
-
Good call Jeremy, forgot about the minis...edited.
I was thinking of a material list...but I think as long as it can hold up to the wear of hunting and possibly getting wet, anything should work. This opens it up a little...you know bark, reeds, leather, heck I even have a bunny brush busting home made job made from PVC.
I think this is gonna be fun.
-
TTT, any more takers?
-
How about any type quiver: target quivers. I would be willing to join if any type of quiver goes.
We had a quiver swap a couple of years ago and all types worked, from store bought to homemade. As long as it was a functional quiver, it could be traded.
Edit: I guess I should've added that the last quiver exchange was more along the lines of a White Elephant; send yours to the person that posts after you, so on so forth
-
I have a six arrow Kwikee that I want to trade for a four arrow Kwikee.
-
I was thinking about store bought/production quivers...but I dont know. I thought the variety of everyone making or tweaking something would be fun....if you have a store bought quiver, dress it up....snake skin...leather. Something that makes it unique... :D
Target quivers, as in the 3d tubes side quiver? I know a few who hunt with those... :thumbsup: Im sure that would be fine...
-
o.k. mine won't stand up to most, but it'll carry arrows.
-
How about sign up by July 15th, and we will swap somewhere towards the end of August or early September?
-
TTT
-
5 of us? Thats it?!
-
what about lefties?
-
Shouldnt be a problem Ian, as they will all be made/customized...
-
count me in too
-
I'll play!
-
count me in
-
This is starting to pick up! :D
Those of you that are in, PM your addresses and what type of design you are in for...this way I can figue out a way to randomly select names. I will also need to know if each of you are RH/LH so I can make sure ya get what ya need....
This is going to be fun I think...8 by my count, and rising. :archer:
-
TTT
-
Is this for homemade stuff also, If so I may get on board with a project?
-
Absolutely Ron. I was leaning towards home made only, but decided if it was dressed up or tweaked it would work too...What comes to mind, skinning a bow quiver, making a bow quiver. I think as long as it isnt a store bought mass produced item, it should be fine. Any suggestions or comments on that from anyone?
As long as everyone knows its a random thing...I think Im gonna put names in a bag and have my two year old pick em out then pair em up as he draws them.
Some great stuff in here already...Im gonna have to up my game!! Some of the pictures I have recieved are amazing...and Im sure everyone noticed a few "pros" signed up. No pressure. :saywhat:
-
Ok ,I'll play also I have to go visit my daughter for a few days then I'll make a quiver of some kind. I have to make one for Adk Ken also, maybe have to do 2 at once...assemmbly line.....lol. I'm in.
-
count me in as well.
-
Looking good. I still need quite a few addresses and whether you are RH or LH....Pm me the info, as long as I get it before the swap actually happens.
Also getting a lot of Pms about the "rules" so here goes...
Any weather ready material is good to go. Of course, the more "traditional" the better...
Must be able to hold up to hunting use.
Store bought, mass produced quivers are ok IF YOU HAVE IMPROVED/TWEAKED them...ie, added snake skin
Three arrow minimum.
Doesnt matter what type of quiver it is...
No serious modifications needed to use the quiver...ie, no drilling into someone's stick bow for quiver inserts.
Sign up by July 15th.
Be prepared to make RH or LH compatible quivers, or ones that can easily be switched accordingly.
Well folks, I think that about covers it. If you take the time to see some of the names already entered, I think you, like me, will try your hardest to make something-for lack of a better word-worthy of some of the talent involved.
This is strictly for fun...with the intent of everyone getting a special piece of archery gear.
Lets have some fun...
-
Up...
-
:archer:
-
Few days left to sign up...
-
Everyone in the pool!!!!!
-
i would like to play. :campfire:
-
Shoot me a PM WWB, need your address and whether you are righty or lefty....
A few more would be nice...I know some of ya are thinking about it.... :D
-
i wanna play!
-
Got your PM. An even dozen so far...looking good.
-
ttt I got a buddy that should be signing up soon, cant wait to see how the quivers turn out, I just got done getting the design on mine worked out
-
Up
-
ill play but alls ive got that id want to trade is an all leather tube back quiver.. is that acceptable?
-
Sounds good to go Dave...
-
So when we gonna make this happen Ishi? I built a Side Stalker quiver for this thing and all it is lacking now is a strap. Just tell me where to send it.
-
Odd number now...anyone else want to get in on this?
I have been really busy at work, so Im sorry for the lack of action...
Im looking at the end of August for the actual swap. This way, those building the quivers, like myself, have time to complete it.
So far we have 13, I would like another or three to make it an even number, but if not, we will make it happen. Gonna extend the enrty date to Saturday.
Ian, I never heard from your friend...
Thanks for the patience all...
-
ttt
-
Down to twelve...
-
thirteen, im in. im ian's friend.
-
Thirteen it is. Im off to work again, after sleeping most of today away.
I will draw names out of a hat or something tomorrow with my son and we go from there....
Should be interesting...
-
OK need some info from Gatorgar...address and RH or LH. Ron W....need your addy too.
I will be putting names in a hat at some point today.
-
Results are in!!
I put all the names in a hat and we had fun pulling them by one...two year olds dont know what one means. He helped, until he decided to de-book a bookcase. The names are paired, simply contact that person, or me for an address and go from there. Swap must be done by the last day of August...before then is fine, just realize some people have to make the quiver still so a delay may be needed. :saywhat:
Here we go...
Tim Roberts and Larry Surtees.
Jeremy and Deadpool.
Shortstroke 91 and Gatorgar
Ian Johnson(LH) and Wisconsin Wood Butcher.
Ron W. and Eric W.
Razorbak(LH) and Gator Rastler.
Hope everyone is happy with the results, and that the two lefties can use what is swapped. :D
Thanks everyone for playing!! Sure would be nice if ya post pics of what ya made or what ya got...
-
ishiwannabe, very nice of you to facilitate this but I did'nt see your name in there. Did you short yourself or just not post it. If you ended up being shorted I'm sure we could do a three way swap.
-
I removed myself so it would be even. No big deal.
Thanks for noticing though... :thumbsup:
-
ishiwannabe sent you a pm
david
-
Still don't think that's fair, why don't you Gatorgar and I swap 3 ways. I could send you mine, you could send him yours and he could send me his, or something like that. Hate to see you miss out on this.
-
shortstroke
I think ishi and I going to swap so he is back in on the trade.
David
-
Jamie, I would trade with you to get you into the swap but Ill need til mid September at the latest.Got a new pup and doing a lot of traveling with the kids so my time is limited for the near future.
-
longbowhntr and I are working something out...awesome place this is. Puts us up to 14 total...not bad.
Izzy, thanks man. I hear ya about pups and kids.
Gonna be at the Muzzy? I might have to make another one just to rade ya Izzy...depends on how well I do on my second quiver. LOL.
-
Thanks for making it happen Ishi! I got everything straightened out with Shortstroke already. If things fall thru with your trade, let me know and I'll send something up your way.
Thanks again
-
Thanks for participating Gatorgar. Just an idea of mine, you guys made it happen.

David
-
Not bad David, just really busy with work and baby duty. I have a mental plan for yours, and plan to check some cardboard templates tomorrow...
Gald I chose the end of August for my sake...lol.
Grinch, for this one it is too late. Maybe there will be another if this goes off well.
-
No hurry, take your time. I understand the busy thing all to well.
-
Mine came in within 4 days of the name swap. Shortstroke sent me a nice side quiver with fur linning and camo cover. I will be using it this season, that's fer sure.
Thanks for the trade
-
Shipped mine to Eric on monday, he should have it on Wed, or Thurs. Hope I did OK!!!!

I actually made decent progress today...even with the help of my two year old! All thats left is stitching it up and adding a few...."tweaks".
