back quiver

[Blessed One]

i have never used this or a hip quiver. for those who use back quivers how do you keep your broadheads from touching each other and getting dull.

The plastic tubes made for golf clubs that you can buy at most golf stores work as a good divider. You still have contact but its soft plastic on metal rather then metal on metal. Or (depending on the size and shape of the back quiver) you can use the foam you see in bow quivers. Hope that helps.

It isn't a problem.  Just be sure you get one made by somebody who knows what a good hunting quiver needs to be--flexible enough to gently mold to your back and hold the arrows from moving around.  I just put a piece of carpet in the bottom and the points will just hold nicely in that.  I would never use the tubes--you have to draw the arrow straight up too far before it clears the top of the tube. Too much flagging movement.

I've got a side quiver. It rides sort of like a back quiver. The thing I like about it is that when I'm walking through brush I can take my one hand and slide it back,like it's parallel to the ground and then just slide it back upright. I place my broadheads in carefully and there is foam in the bottom and they don't move around. You get minimal touching,but I retouch mine before I head out anyway.

It was something I worried about early on but came to find out the broadheads stayed as sharp in my back quiver as my bow quiver.

I use a piece of tight cell foam glued in the bottom of my quiver. I place my arrows in and give a slight push so the tip of the BH goes into the foam.

If your quiver is broken in, conforms to your back there will be no arrow rattle but..your broad heads will always rest against one another. When I first started using a back quiver around 1970...I was told they would dull my heads and I would need to resharpen or check them before each hunt.

Well...this was true because we shot 4 blade Bear Razorheads with inserts or 3 Blade Bodkin heads. Back quivers are made for single blade broadheads. I had Ron at KME sharpen up some Zwickey Deltas for me and I threw the doz arrows in my backquiver start of season. To this day, not one is dull(that's still in there).

When asked, " How do you keep your broad heads sharp in a back quiver?" Howard Hill replied, " With a file. How do you keep yours sharp?" with a properly made back quiver it is not a problem.
