Bow Quiver with "extension arm"?
« on: February 05, 2011, 09:13:00 AM »
OK, I've been looking through the back pages but still can't find the picture that someone posted of their bow, arrows, and a quiver with an extension arm that put the arrows more in-line with their bow limb.  I'd like to see this again, and find out where I can get the quiver/arm.  There may be more than one option out there, can you guys help me out?  Thanks.

I like Eagle's Flite quivers, but I replace the 4-arrow semi-circular arrow gripper with a Selway 4-arrow straight gripper (steel bar and gripper).  That cants the arrows more in line with the limb profile when strung.  

Can get them directly from Selway or Three Rivers carries them.  Will also need a spacer to hold the lower bracket further from the bow limb and a longer machine screw to hold the lower gripper to the bracket.  I buy a one-inch diameter rubber stopper at the local hardware store and drill a hole through the center of it for the machine screw.  I run the screw through the metal arm (may need to enlarge or drill a separate hole) into the rubber gripper.  Sounds complicated,but it isn't.

Of course, can just go with a Selway slip on quiver to start to get the same effect.  It's arrow gripper is offset. It's just a tad larger and heavier than the Eagle's Flite.

We (Eagle's Flight Archery) make an option for the bottom arrow gripper extending the fletch end of the arrows back toward the string. It's called the "Wing". Several of our customers want it as standard on all of their quivers.  I'll try to show some photos. The first one is a "Shrew" quiver that I photographed just before sending them to Ron LaClair.

That looks real good Don.  I made one for mine and it works well.  I didn't know you came up with one too.  Way to go  :bigsmyl:

I have two of Don's Eagle's Flight quivers with the Wing arrow gripper.  It has been the perfect solution to everything I've ever looked for in a bow quiver. I have four other brands, and this is the only one I use these days!

Don, Is that the same thing as your 4" extension you sell on your website? I've been thinking about adding that to my quiver but I use a fletch cover that is kind of baggy and I'm a little worried about the string hitting the fletch cover when shot if I move the arrow gripper back toward the string.
Thanks!

Swampdrummer, the "wing" is built into the talon grip assembly. It has the advantage of being very stable on the bow. I'll post a photo of it that might give you a better idea.
