Back Quivers

[CRM_95]

What's a good back quiver that's safe to use with broadheads? I have bow quivers, but I'd like to pick up a back quiver that I could keep my broadheads in as well as a couple arrows with judo points for shooting squirrels and rabbits.

I always use head covers on broad heads in a back quiver so that I don't cut the quiver.

Any well made Hill style quiver will do the trick. Those sold by HHArchery, Sunset Hill, American leathers, northern Mist, etc.

Arrows are held fast no problem with broadheads.

I have a cat quiver and it works great.
Protects your feathers and holds the arrows solid so no rattling around.
Also, arrows will not catch on the brush with the placement in the middle of your back.

I made a back quiver with about 3/8" leather bottom that would be safe with any broadhead, but I don't like my broadheads rubbing against each other - they don't stay shaving sharp very long doing that. I made very simple leather covers for the broadheads - takes only a couple of minutes to hand stitch them - and it keeps them quiet, protected and sharp.

Any back quiver will work. I have several and just put a piece of foam inside the bottom to help with noise.

I dropped an additional piece of leather in the bottom of mine. I also traced and cut a piece of foam and tuck it in the opening to keep the arrows from moving around.

Soap Creek here on Trad Gang. I own a HHA and one from Soap. I prefer Soap's.

When I hunt with broadheads, I use homemade leather covers for them, more to keep the heads sharp than to protect the quiver.

Soap Creek's classified.

I have a small chunk of foam in the bottom but also use broadhead covers.  Cut the fingers off a cheap leather work glove.

Dang, I thought I had really come up with something with my leather broadhead covers.  Sounds like might near everybody is doing it.

Just put 3-4inches on the bottom of quiver some will fall out but that's ok the deer will just follow you to your stand

Forgot to say 3-4 inches of cracked corn sorry

Might be other doing it, but those are the nicest looking ones I've seen! Mine are just scrap leather stitched together. Interested in the flap you have on the one in the middle. I assume it's to help keep it attached within the quiver?

Howard Hill used to put bird seed in the bottom of his...... it seemed to work pretty well for him .....he killed more animals than most people see

That's was the idea.  It worked pretty well on that one, but I used pretty thick/stiff leather on that one.  I used a thinner leather on the other two and it wasn't stiff enough to stay snapped around the shaft, so I trimmed that part off of them.  They fit snug enough that they typically don't fall off when removing from the quiver anyway.  I've thought about getting patterns for some of the more popular broadheads and trying to sell some.  I've been kicking around the idea of becoming a sponsor on here and try to sell some of my knives and leather.  If I do that, I may see if there is any interest in these.

I have a Wyandotte expedition model that I modified for extra thickness around the broadheads plus I have some covers for individual heads. I also have a plains quiver that I made that I made multiple layers of leather for use with 2 blade broadheads, plus an assortment of other heads. I put a cardboard wrapping paper tube in it for the judos.
I should be going through your town around the end of August and can bring them with me if you want to try them.
Back quivers are kind of quirky. They have to fit you or be able to be adjusted so that you can use them. The plains quiver is real easy.

Thanks for the offer!! I'm looking at a few, so I may take you up on it if I haven't found one I like by then.

Soap creek makes a really nice back hill style back quiver for a really nice price. He is a sponsor.
