Upside down arrow?
« on: October 08, 2008, 10:05:00 PM »
I have seen a lot of pics of guys that have one arrow in their bow quiver that is upside down.
Why is that?
Usually this arrow is bloody and it's a picture of a happy hunter with a kill.

I always carry my judo upside down. The judo does not stay in the quiver very well and the nock end does. lol. That is my reasoning.

I do it cuz everyone else does!  I am with FerretWYO on this one, and sometimes if an arrow breaks that is the only way the gripper in the quiver will grip it cuz its too short.

I carry a judo upside down too, it is useally an arrow with a small game point that cant stick in a quiver well, like a judo or a blunt

Some carry their judo, blunt, whatever upside down so they don't grab that one by mistake in the heat of the moment...

I ALWAYS CARRY MY JUDOS AND BLUNTS UPSIDE DOWN AS THEY DON'T SEAT WELL IN THE FOAM AND I WON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF USING THEM AS A BACK UP SHOT ON BIG GAME!!

After I shot my elk I stuck the arrow in upside down because the broken end was bloody and had flesh in the break. Didn't want that up in the foam hood of the quiver. I also carry my rubber blunt this way. Holds better and I don't mistake it for a broadhead.

Usually its a judo or blunt.

BE CAREFULL if you decide to turn a Bheaded arrow upside down in your bow quiver!!!! You could get cut, and cut real bad.
