Homemade piggybackers for arrows?
« on: August 19, 2011, 10:35:00 AM »
Anyone been successful making their own piggybackers for attatching arrows (judos) to their others arrows in the bow quiver?  I was too stupid to order them earlier and leave Tuesday so I'm gonna try to make my own if I can find the right chunk of rubber to do it with.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I haven't made any but I would think that you could punch the rubber with a leather punch that you hit with a mallet.  They are available in many sizes and you would get a nice and clean, round hole for the shaft.  Then all you would have to do is cut a narrower slot in to the round hole.  Good hunting!

Tim, If there was some way to get them to you I have a couple you could have. I don't know that it is feasible.

A good thick piece of leather works well.
doesnt hold quit as tite as the rubber but it does work.
punch a hole just a touch smaller than the shaft then just slice the leather from the edge to the hole.
I been using them for years like that..

Piggy-backers for blunts are a must-have item for bow quivers.

Tim do you have any old quivers around, you can slide out the rubber and cut it down.

If you can't get the homemade piggybacks to work, just swap out one broadhead arrow for a judo and flip the judo around and put the nock end into the foam.  I carry four broadhead arrows and one judo arrow flipped around like this in my GN quivers all the time.  Works great.

That is a great idea. So easy, but i have never thought of it
