GEREP: I have not made one but my hunting buddy did--made the hood from the bottom part of an anti-freeze jug (plastric), it was shaped just right and about 8-10 inches deep. He covered it with a piece of brown denim from and old pair of jeans (he's very frugal!), the hood was screwed to a pair of dowel rods of appropriate size (half inch I'm thinking) and he used a plastic electrical box for the base and cut the ends out for access. He cut the dowel rods to proper length for his arrows and made it so it's not adjustable--easier to do. The top has foam in it like the regular Catquiver and he lined the bottom where the arrows rest with a piece of leather. He used a pair of old suspenders for the straps. The capacity is a bit larger than the regular Cats. Works well and he has next to nothing in it.....Dave
