Using a back quiver
«
on:
June 22, 2008, 10:06:00 AM »
I tried to use a back quiver and had trouble reaching the arrows over my bowstring hand shoulder due to some slight limited range of motion. Does anyone have their back quiver set up so that they reach for the arrows over their other shoulder? I hope I am being clear. I am lefthanded and would be more comfortable drawing an arrow from over my right shoulder.Anyone else do this.I've tried pushing up the bottom with my bowhand to help reach the arrows but it doesn't work for me.I tried one at a shop that no longer exists so I can't go back and try reaching over my other shoulder.Anyone have any opinions about basket quivers? They look more comfortable in the hot weather.
Thanks - Flints

Flints....
Some back Quivers are easyer to draw from than others....
It depends on how the strap is mounted to the Quiver....
Can you reach straight back by your ear, If so you can use one of my Quivers....
And yes you can weara back quiver over your opposite shoulder, some American Indians did this....

Attaching a second strap at the bottom of the quiver to go around the waist and secured to the lower part of the shoulder strap will help. Unfortunately, this is less practical for some hunting conditions (crawling under logs, through brush, etc.)

Have you considered a CatQuiver?

Even with a second strap I would still have trouble reaching over my shoulder Blackhawk.
I want more of a typical back quiver style Centaur.
Mike, I have bought a couple of your armguards, a water bottle and the small Hunter style back quiver. I couldn't reach far enought to make it work so I added a piece of leather copying your 6" Hunter side quiver and that works great but lately I have been wanting to try a back quiver again. I thnk I will make up a cardboard mock-up and see if I can make it work while reaching over my opposite shoulder. Thanks for all the replies.
