This one isn't quite ready for production yet, but it is close enough that I can look for and hopefully get some feed back on!
The newest addition to the Absorkee Quiver Family, the "Short Trail". This quiver features the same quality as our other products, and is built around the time proven Quiver Caddy Bracket, developed by Mark Baker.
The Short Trail, is a scaled down quiver built to hold 4 arrows, and will be offered with some possible options, one of which is it may be offered with an aluminum, or steel frame, it will be offered in a shorter version for youth and a longer one for adults.

Thank you in advance for any feed back,
-
That's exactly what I'm looking for!!!! I hope it'll be ready in time for next season!!
-
Sean,
It should be ready for production in a week or two, will keep an update....
Thanks,
-
Tim,
I like the looks of that quiver a lot.
Nice job! :thumbsup:
-
That is great!
-
I do all my own leather work, and even I would buy this. Great compact hunting quiver.
Looks great Tim.
-
I have and use your quiver and would like to know why you can't simply put 5 or 6 arrows flat and straight across. I can't seem to get used to the cattywompus arrow arrangement and feel there is room in the hood.
-
Hi Tim. How lighter would this quiver be compared to the original?
-
This is a great new product, Tim.
As far as "fanning" out 5 or 6 arrows, I think it defeats the purpose of a hunting quiver by exposing more of your arrows to brush, and visibility. It might be easier to get arrows out, but there is a trade-off.
I don't know why weight is such an issue with folks, these quivers are no heavier than the other type quivers you wear on your back or that you sling across your shoulder. And carrying that weight on your hip is much easier on you than the other methods. Think about it.
I'd rather have a steel frame that is darn near indestructible, than a lightweight aluminum frame that will bend all the time. Again, the weight is not a big thing to me, but the durability is.
If weight is an issue....try the quiver caddy with a kwikee. It's lighter (just a bit), and can be easier to get arrows out of. It's not leather though, and that is what sells to most folks. Nice job, Tim.

An update for those that are interested in this quiver. Just ordered the parts to start building the first ones. Unfortuately the aluminum frame is a little more than half again as much than the steel frame, and I don't think there is going to be enough lost to make it worth the amount of durability that will be lost. If there is enough interest for it in the future, though, that is an option that we can keep open. As for the weight diffference between this one and the original Absorkee Quiver, I am not sure, there were a couple of changes made to this one, and until I have all the parts and one built it will be an unknown.
The Short Trail, should be ready for production in a week or so, if you are interested in ordering one please contact me.
Thanks,
-
I like the looks of that one. Will you have some for Cincy?
-
Yeah,bring a few to Cinci if possible
-
Thanks guys!
Am working to have some there!
Thanks,

Is this a belt quiver? Any pics how it attaches?
Went to the web site and see it is belt attached.
Would still love to see pics of the attachment.

All I can say is I flat out love my absorkee quiver Tim makes great products. Gotta get me a caddy for my old kwikie.
-
i love it
-
Foxbo, thanks for the pics. Might just be what I'm looking for, SJ
-
It may not be the perfect quiver for every occasion, but I do believe it would work well for most anyone. It's neat how easy it is to take off and put back on with no buckles, no straps, no hassle.
-
I have had one of Mark's Quiver Caddy's, great concept but I didn't like using a compound quiver with it. This is MUCH nicer. Two questions. You will make a left hand version, correct? As well what is the anticipated cost? I really want one, you may just well get me to give up my back quiver.

John,
Yes, there will be some left handed ones made! Right now it is looking like it is going to be in the $110-$120.00 price range. Should have a few of them ready to go first of the week.
Thank you,
-
the left handed one in foxbo's picture is mine.
great quality stuff! can't go wrong.
-
Love my absorkee quiver. Tim does quality top notch work.
-
A couple of these finally made it to the Sponsor's Classifieds!
Thanks,
-
All most bought me one in Cincinnati, I bought a arm guard, knife combo instead. I may order one the next payday!! I really liked it.
-
Placed my order today just in time for chasing a few turkeys. There may not be a "perfect" quiver but here's to hoping this one is real close!
-
Those qivers look awesome. Love everything about it! design, simplicity, functionality, looks, quality....it has it all. Very impressive and awesome job!
-
Gorgeous!
-
Nice looking quiver. I just may have to give that some thought.....Hmmm??!
-
Nice I was looking that one over at the Banquet two weeks ago
-
I did not see the Quiver caddie on your website. Is that something you used to make?
-
Tony,
Yes the Caddy Bracket is something that I make, my website really needs updated, I apologize for its being behind, if you have any questions please send me a message or give me a call.
Thanks,
-
Quite attractive!
-
I picked one up at PBS in Cincy. Have been stump shooting with it 3 times. Great quiver, well made as usual. You really don't even know it's there. Just make sure you kill your critter with your first 4 arrows, or three if carry a judo. LOL
Thanks Tim

Pretty cool quiver and works great!
-
Great looking products. First class all the way.
-
My original performed flawlessly while hunting this past season, it followed well with minimal arrow movement due to it attaching at the waist instead of strapped to your leg. Absolutely no worries of the quiver coming off unexpectedly, the hook is deep enough to keep that from happining. The new four arrow quiver should be a winner as well. Money well spent.
-
I picked one up from Tim at PBS in Cincy. I have been stump shooting with it 3 times. It is great. I will use it this month for turkey. Can't see my self getting more than four shots at one bird. HA. Thanks Time, great trad quiver.

I just received one of these quivers in time for a day of chasing turkeys.
Like a lot of you I've been on a quest to find a quiver that really works for me. I don't care for bow quivers on my lightweight longbows, side quivers are bulky and add yet one more thing to hang around my neck, back quivers don't allow a back pack, etc.
I've finally found the answer to my quiver search.
Loaded it up with three broadhead tipped arrows and a judo stumping arrow, hung it off my belt, and walked for an entire day chasing turkeys. Never felt any weight, slid super easily through thick scrub oaks and briars, removing or replacing arrows is a breeze... It's just awesome.
The way the quiver sits on your hip, the fletching trails behind you making it rare to have to think about maneuvering it through the thick stuff. I literally didn't know it was there the majority of the time.
Thank you Tim, this is my quiver from now on!
