I've been wanting a new bow mounted quiver for a while, but it hasn't been in the budget. A couple weeks back, I got a wild hair and started a little project.
Not sure why I haven't thought of it before, honestly, seeing as I build about everything else I use (knives, leather sheaths, arm guards, holsters, etc., arrows). I've even considered becoming a sponsor and trying to sell a few items on here, but haven't had the time to devote to it yet. If I become proficient enough at enough archery gear, I may have to take the plunge.
Anyway, back to the project. I like the premise of the Kanati Slim Jim, so I decided to do something along those lines, but with a twist. Each arrow holder is a separate unit and are held together by the mounting bracket on the back. Mine is also a 4 arrow instead of 3 arrow. I'll talk more about the drawbacks of that in a little bit. Right now, I'm working on getting the functionality of the design figured out, so it's still pretty rough. Most of the hardware is just plain old steel machine screws. I'll replace all of this with hardware that looks better eventually, but this is just what I had laying around for now. I also havent repainted the metal bracket on the arrow gripper yet either. Here's a couple pictures of the top half of the quiver.
If you look at the back, there's a bolt on one side of the bracket and a hole on the other. It will be possible to move the bolt and change the mounting angle of the quiver.
For the bottom half, I used a piece of rubber floor mat for the gripper (again, just what I had laying around), so the top and bottom of it aren't smooth. I also still have to smooth the sides and edges down a bit. A I said, just making sure everything works before spending a lot of time on finish work. The four arrow design required that the bracket be offset, which is why I also offset the mounting holes on the top half.
I'm going to use a strap on system, so I still have to work out the brackets, straps, etc. for that. For a limb bolt or quiver insert mount, it'd be pretty straight forward to get the mounting brackets built.
