fletching covers??? who uses them??

[Gaff]

i like the idea, i just dont know how well they work. it seems as though if you walked through a thicket it would just rip off.   :confused:  
how does it attach, and who makes the best one?

The one i have has a elastic band hooked to it and i hook it over the hood of my quiver and it stays on good

Get in touch with Rod at Safari-Tuff (check sponsors above).  He was making one based on a model Terry (Tarz) was shooting.  Very nicely thought out design, and anything that comes out of Rod's shop is well made.

This one is novel in that it is open on the botton to facilitate quiet arrow removal.

I started using one after getting nailed by some does treestand hunting one evening. I use the chartruese feathers and they picked them up. When going through the brush take mine off or let it hang so it doesn't get caught. I picked mine up from 3 rivers for under $10

I made one from some camo fabric from the local fabric store. A yard of fabric will make a bunch of fletch covers for you and friend and there aint nothing to it. My wife had the needle and thread on hand and with the fabric and elastic and an hour tops in front of the tube sewing away and you'll have your own. Just stitch up a bag with an elastic top tight enough to hold on to the number of arrows you carry and tall enough to hide fletching and cresting. If your worried about it slipping off in brush like you mention it wouldnt be any big deal to rig up a little safty strap with some extra elastic around the hood of the quiver

Game flagging from bright fletch on a bow quiver is pretty annoying and like Mint I've found that out the hard way several times on deer.  

To be honest I've never seen a fletch cover that looked like it was worth buying.  Most seem either too loose, too noisy, cumbersome when removing arrows, overpriced or some combination.  I generally just pull a spare headnet over my fletching and secure it with the elastic strap on the headnet, use bland feathers except for the #1 arrow or use a different type of quiver that doesn't flap feathers like a beacon when my bow moves.  The closest thing I've seen to fixing this problem that actually works well is a Catquiver.

I made one 100 years ago.  It was a simple cotton cloth bag dyed brown and I attached it to the bow quiver with a deer skin thong.  I never lost it and it worked fine.

What BobW said is the same as my experience.

I've got a really functional one that's secure, quiet, and waterproof. Should have a few photos in a day or so.
