I just tie an old camo handkerchief over my fletching...can't get much cheaper than that.

Love to hunt in a cold mist and have hunted in rain too many times. I cover my fletch with a towel or old shirt & even used a ballcap once. Your BQ will slip under your arm if it rains hard. Never had a fletch problem result.

kbetts, I was thinking to use a plastic zip lock and glue it inside of a scarf that I will sew to fit the outside of the bag.

See if you can find some scrap fleece at a fabric store, maybe plaid or camo and just sew up a bag type thing to cover your arrows, tie a shoe lace on it and to your quiver so it don't come off.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Used to use baby bottle inserts (plastic bags) and a rubber band.  Push the nock thru the bottom. If the rubber band is loose enough when you shoot the arrow the bottle insert comes off and lands about 5 feet in front of you.  Pick it up when you go recover your animal.  Looks a little funny though.

Take an old pair of camo pants and make a pair of summer "work shorts" out of them.

Then, take the cut off legs,turn them inside-out and sew the cut end shut. Turn them right side out and spray them down with water proofing,or rub them with beeswax.

You now have 2 waterproof fletching covers,and a pair of work shorts for knocking around in.

You can't get much more "thriftier" than that!!!!!   :thumbsup:
