Chuck Adams Arrow Holster
« on: February 01, 2011, 12:50:00 PM »
Anyone have/use one? I'm looking at a used one. 10 arrows. I like lots of arrows, but wonder if it might be a bit unwieldy/heavy on the hip.

Tom,

I have one and don't ever use it anymore.  Mine was one of his original hip quivers and I think it holds 8 arrows but it could be 10.  I found it to be too heavy and the bottom needed to be strapped to you leg.  Just didn't care for it.  I ended up making my own that held just 3 arrows and was light as a feather and could easily be slid to my back.  That has also been retired in favor of an Arrow Master side quiver.

I had and used one in my dark days many years ago,that was all I used.I thought it was an excellent quiver,you could put it on and off your belt without taking your belt off.You don't have to load a quiver to it full capacity,I always carried a couple judo point arrows for practiced along with my broadheads.

I would think ya could get it and turn it into a kind of plains quiver real easy..much more comfortable and easier on and off..Just an idea.

Not sure if it is the same thing but I have an 8 arrow hip quiver from Trautman's Outdoor Creations that is a lot like the Adam's Holster.  It always seemed to get caught on brush and I felt like I was "flagging" when I walked.  Usually carried 6 broadheads and a couple blunts/judo points.  Best thing about it was that it had velcro on the belt attachment so you could take it off easily when I got to stand.  Never really felt comfortable with it and eventually quit using it altogether.

I have two that are very similar but nylon. I use them with a shoulder strap and carry it under my arm like you would a Lakota stle or one of Freds GFAs. I have looked at a few of the Adams arrow holsters to pick one up, but alot of them are pretty beat up.

I used one back in the mid 90s.  While its not the holy grail of quivers - i know cause i think i have tried them all and still find something lacking from all of them - i thought it was a pretty good quiver.  I often wish i still had it.

Pete,

I've been looking for one for some time.  If you no longer have a need for one, I would be interested.
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Thanks for the input. Another quiver. The one I have a line on is supposed to be excellent in condition. I'll think about it some more.

it really is a personal choice,for my part I tried it one season and did'nt like it 'cause leaves,branches and dirt would accumulate in the bottom,once attach to the leg I did'nt like the feeling when kneeing or crouching.I would use it only on the field for target shooting.Just my point of view.
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
