Back Quiver ??

[Keith361]

I hanve a back quiver that is less than soft and my arrows seem to be making a good bit of noise while I'm walking with it. I was thinking of puttin a piece of foam at the bottom and some kind of lining around the top but I'm not sure what would work best. I like the fur, but I was thinking about fleece. Any thoughts?

If your arrows are making noise,..than you're moving to fast  

[Keith361]

He he, been accused of that before...

Along with adding foam on the bottom and some type of fur around the top you could also use Neets foot oil to help soften the leather.  It works wonders softening a baseball glove.  A cheap way to get a lining for the top is at a Goodwill or Salvation Army store. But an old coat that has fur, fleece, or wool collar.

My cousin put pipe insulation in his quiver so now each arrow has its own individual sleeve.

[Gene Roberts]

Well one problem cold be that the arrows hit leaves or branches.One way of solving that is to make it to where the arrows are behind yuor head and the quiver is straight verticley speaking.

No Gene, if you use a backquiver for hunting, you will have to learn to move it under you arm when going thru tight places,it doesn't take long to get the hang of it and when you do the motion becomes instinctive, you'll be surprised how  easyly you'll get thru the hardest spots.

you are right jay. now if i were you i would put fur on the inside of the opeing and some foam on the inside of the bottom of the quiver. this realy works. and most important walk slow.  

[lodestar]

Try wearing it in the shower and then wear it till its dry. Works on my combat boots... Just kidding!!!!

[NorthShoreLB]

HO'NEHE JEFF,... I'm not Jay Massey, sometimes I wander how is it possible for modern archers not to seek all the possible past knowledge     ,.... not trying to sound mean.

I personally think that the foam on the bottom is a bad idea (tryed that), your arrows have to be able to flow with the quiver, that won't happen if they are stuck in a peace of foam, make some leather covers for the broadheads to avoid them to touch each other, and keep the sharper, fur around the opening is a nice touch but not really necessary.

...again if your quiver is making noise, you're moving to fast, the backquiver is the ultimate hunting quiver    lets you know when to slow down, keep your clothes out of the way, and lets you draw arrows in a split second, what else do you need  

[NorthShoreLB]

Ooh, forgot, Montana pitch blend is a really good product for getting your quiver nice and soft.


I wouldn't use Neetsoft oil, I did on one quiver, and the smell was terrible and never got rid of it, not the best idea for hunting

[KodiakBob]

I agree with North. moving to fast. Gary Sentman says the same on his video. Leather covers for broadheads are fun and easy to make.

I just go to the fabric store and get some fake fur.(You oughta see the looks a full-grown man in moccasins and a crusher hat get in there). Its cheap, and its pretty durable. It quiets my quivers down beautifully.

[bernard]

how do you attach the fur? just glue it onto the leather?

[Keith361]

That's good stuff right there, I do move a little too fast sometimes. The broadhead covers is a great idea (shoulda had a V8).

I lined the top and down inside a ways with a piece of a coyote pelt...really helps quiet the arrows down.

If the quiver isn't smashed down in the middle enough to keep the arrows in it when you bend over to tie your shoes you aren't wearing it tightly enough. It also takes just the right stiffness of leather to make a good back quiver. Too stiff and it won't collapse enough to keep 'em quiet and still while hunting, too soft and your arrows get hung up when you pull em out.
 You might get a lot less noise by simply snugging up the strap til the body of the quiver forms to your back.
 If its too stiff try rolling it up bottom to top and mashin' on it some, then unroll it, make it flat a different way, and roll and mash again.
 It really should be more like a stiff bag than a tube.
