Rubber straps for Kanati quivers?
« on: January 05, 2019, 11:26:37 PM »
Kanati quivers are out of business. Mine needs new rubber straps. I am capable of cutting new straps but would like to know where I can get a similar piece of rubber from?

Think this material is an appropriate piece? I’m not sure what kind of rubber would really be best for this application.

High-Strength Weather-Resistant EPDM Rubber Sheets
This is what rubber tie down straps are made of ,McMaster has this in their catalog.
This would probably what you would want comes in a few thicknesses and hardness's .

I changed the pins on mine to the Sam Brown button like Big Jim uses and put on Big Jim straps. It’s much better than it was originally.

Got photos and a source for this hardware? I’m interested. If Kanati was still in business I’d just order new straps but since they are not my only option is to either toss it and replace it or modify it.

I got mine from the big auction, they are not expensive.

Gotcha. I see what your doing here. Your hardware is a bit different than mine. I was trying to figure out how you went about keeping the tension correct on your Sam Brown stud.

I’m running a Dual Arc with the rubber straps so mine has a post that goes across the back/belly and the straps pull the post into the bow. I guess I could run a stud on the outside end of the post but that wouldn’t necessarily be any quicker or better than the original idea of just running a stiff rubber around the bow from one side to the other.

I like the EFA design pretty well too except they use Velcro and I like to pull my quiver off when hunting sometimes so I’m really looking for a silent install/removal option.

The Dual Arc is a different animal. Good luck with keeping it in service.

Yep. It’s heavy but the design is incredibly versatile and on my Sierra longbow the riser is long enough that I can mount the Dual Arc over the riser just below the grip and above the sight window so that it doesn’t alter the way my my bow shoots and so it can keep the feathers and nocks behind the limbs and above the bow tips. I really, really value the adjustability of that particular bow quiver but now it’s starting to have parts wearing out and I need a way to replace them.

I’ll play around with some of the rubber mentioned above and see what I can do to keep it in service. There doesn’t seem to be anything else on the market that has can offer all of the adjustability AND quietness AND speed and ease of installation/removal that a Dual Arc offers.
