homemade bow quivers
« on: January 12, 2008, 09:18:00 PM »
Anyone out there made their own bow quiver?  
If so I would love to see a picture or two.  Particularly interested in what you've done where the quiver meets the bow.

Thanks
Matt

If you are shooting a take down bow, building one is quite easy. Attachment on a one piece bow can get a little tricky. Do a search because a gentleman on here did a fine buildalong on a bow quiver for a one piece bow, not too terribly long ago.

I make my own for my take down bob lee. I would post pics, but the quiver is my buddies design and he is working on a patent.

Here are some pictures of a longbow quiver I made and it also worked well for a Widow PTF.
The brace is made from laminated strips and the a small angle brace is used to wrap velcro around the bow. It stays in place better than anything else I have used.

Here is another method that works real well. The mount reproduces the method used for most slide on quivers but hinges open to allow mounting without having to unstring the bow. It also allows you to custom fit the opening so that you can get the quiver mounted down by the fadeouts and below and limb motion.
  The pictures just show the mount. The hood and arrow holder would mount to the end of this unit. I will be using a threaded insert in the end of these and then bolt the hood or arrow holder right to the ends.

Check out the build along section there's a good one there.

I saw the build along but for some reason Fritz removed all of his pictures.  I was able to track down a PDF on the instructions on the Internet thought.  Thanks.

Anyone find luck with this method?

JWingMan:Interesting hinged design.  Does it rattle  when you shoot?

mcowie, It doesn't rattle a bit. The rubber allows you to tighten it up on the limb and you can hardly budge it if you tried. You can custom fit them to the bow you want to mount them on.

Here are a few pictures of the detachable quiver on a one piece recurve. I also built the bow. I used a form to laminate the section between the hood and arrow clip out of micarta,wood and clear fiberglass. My form was simular to jwingman's form except I used an air hose for pressure. The hood is leather with a polyester resin and woven fiberglass lining.

Scroll down to see my Bottlecap-screw-on bowquiver.

Still works like a charm!
