Who hunts with a back quiver and do you try to keep your broadheads from rattling against each other? If so what do you use?

I generally use a CatQuiver. Never used a traditional back quiver (I guess that was your original question) so can't speak from experience but I've heard that the pressure from the strap around your body holds the arrows together and keeps them from rattling.
I guess a piece of foam in the bottom might solve your problem though.

Thanks PowDuck but mine is a little stiffer. I have no problem with field points or squirrel arrows, but I don't want my broadheads rubbing togeather and possibly dulling them. Jim

It works great!

Nice soft sheep's wool collar lining the top of my backquiver. Just 2 days ago I put some soft flex synthetic in the bottom for the BH's. They all shave after a recent sharpening. I check them weekly.

I stuff a piece of unshorn sheepskin way into the bottom. The broadheads sink right into the long fibers and are quiet. I can mail you a piece if you want to try it out. Trace the shape of your quiver bottom to the leather side and cut it out with a sharp exacto knife or razor blade. Then apply a little glue and stuff her right down. You can spray it with pure silicone spray beforehand and let dry to prevent dampness from causing any mildew. Once dry, the silicone has no scent.

I use a small amount of Wood Excelsior (shredded wood packing material) in the bottom of mine. It's really lightweight and keeps the broadheads from knocking around. Doesn't work too good for Judos though - they tend to get tangled in it.

I've been using a backquiver for years and have NEVER had a problem with my broadheads being "dulled" by them rubbing against each other.
I have an old Wyondotte "Field Quiver" that I built from a kit about 11 year ago. It has formed nicely to my back and my arrows do not rattle at all. Actualy,I can put a dozen arrows(or less for that matter) in my quiver,then bend at the waist and pick a quarter up off the floor without any moving,let alone falling out. If the arrows don't move,I can't see how they can be dulled. If I feel my heads need just a little "extra" I have an old Kittredge "Keen Kill" carbide sharpener to touch them up. I have never needed more than a couple light strokes to get a head "scary" sharp.
Just one "Old Fart's" oppinion...

My quiver collapses around the arrows and they don't really move.

If it's built right and well broken in, you do not need to stuff it with anything....you won't have rattle or dulled heads. If you have to do all sorts of stuff to get it quiet it is not properly built with the proper weight of leather.

I'm with the guys who have used back quivers for years. Don't put anything in the bottom of the quiver. They will stay as sharp as in any other quiver.

I don't hunt with a back quiver, did sometime , but was just for getting in a ground blind, what I have done, is placing a flecce sweatshirt inside, gloves,hat everything in flecce material, so it is extra layers and silences the quiver too

I stuck a piece carpet in the bottom and that seems to work. In the past I've dumped about a cup of bird seed in the bottom and that worked also.

I have a broken in bison leather quiver that I've had forever. Very tight normally, but when I broke into a run in Newfoundland trying to head off a herd of woodland caribou, they bounced all over. Putting the sheepkin or sweatshirts or anything in is not going to hurt anything, it will only help.
No reason not to try it. If you don't like it, take it out! It helps.

Howard Hill dumped a couple of handsfull of oats in the bottom of his quiver to protect his broadheads. Horse oats I suspect. Quck oats might be hard to clean out after a cloudburst.

The cutting edges of broadheads don't touch each other in a back quiver. Maybe the very back edge, but that's it.
A good med wt leather back quiver will form to your back and hold the arrows from moving. The strap must be snug enough to flatten the quiver.
