Quiver modified for a Black Widow PCH
« on: April 08, 2014, 06:45:00 PM »
I had a Great Northern standard non-adjustable longbow quiver. I'm currently shooting my Black Widow PCH exclusively. Though the riser on a PCH is short, it doesn't work with the longbow quiver very well. I didn't feel like spending another $90 on a new Great Northern adjustable quiver so I modified the one I had.

It turned out to be very solid, secure and quiet. I cut the wire that holds the to pcs of the Great Northern. (It's tough wire). I left the wires attached approx 4 inches on each half of the quiver. Then I cut a carbon arrow shaft to the needed length. I used the extra strong epoxy and glued the pcs permanently. After a day of curing it was finished.

It was a simple job. The only cost was the epoxy. The arrow shaft was a damaged one.
An added benefit will be a place to use two piggy backers for carrying a 6th arrow with a target point that won't be attached to a hunting shaft. That 6th arrow will sit outside the hood so it can be identified easily and won't take up valuable broadhead space
I'm looking forward to using the quiver like this.
Molly isn't too interested in it. She has a bone to chew on today.

I forgot to mention that the arrows are now positioned so that I can lean the bow against a tree or rest the bow on it's bottom tip without the nocks and feathers being in the dirt. Those are full length 32 1/2" arrows.
This photo shows where the quiver fit before modifications.
