Hi all, I'm not a high number forum poster but wanted to say hi and join the community. I have been a long time archer/bowhunter but only have been shooting traditional gear for about 2 years. I picked up a used Samick Phantom (45#) and got hooked. I've since stepped up to a 21" Hoyt Satori with 45# limbs and even more recently picked up the new velos limbs in 50#. I have been doing an annual trip out west to chase bigger critters so I wanted to build a setup that could handle any North American game species. It's been fun to say the least, and I am way down the rabbit hole. Going with traditional gear has changed archery for me, I shoot almost daily now (or I should say nightly after the 1 year old and 4 year old are in bed) and I absolutely cannot get enough!
The trick I stumbled on was with my Selway quiver. At first I just stuffed arrows in the foam about where they should go but after many in's and out's with broadheads there were foam beads like a breadcrumb trail behind me everywhere I took that thing. I got a new piece of foam and marked where I wanted the holes with a sharpie then heated a pointed steel rod (about the diameter of a field tip) and pushed it into the marked holes. The heat enlarged the holes a bit but sorta cauterized the foam in the process. I've have used this foam piece about as many times as the other one and I don't think I've had a single piece of foam fall out yet. Not that revolutionary of a tip but I figured I'd pass it on.
