A while back I posted looking for sources for nylon strapping and hardware. I got so great help as always, and a request or two for some pic’s when finished.
I use an Arrow Master most of the time. The kids wanted some like mine for 3D shoots after getting hooked on them last summer. My son wanted a short one he could use as a tube quiver or reverse and pull arrows from the top. He wanted his feathers to stick out. My daughter wanted a standard tube quiver with the feather protected. Each selected their own fabric for cover. We used plotter paper tubes I get from work along with the spool plugs to cap the bottoms. A thin piece of plastic plus the foam keeps any arrows from getting out the spool hole. Most of the spools are gray so we covered my son’s with fabric. I did find one purple one so my daughter was fine with that uncovered.
For foam I had a hunk of black foam. It was easy to cut and shape with a hack saw. I just cut it a little large and friction fit it for a good fit and nice look despite the cut being a little rough with the saw cut.
Fabric is applies with waterproof glue. The straps are anchored with rivets using small washers to prevent pull through. I left a loop of strap on the bottom so we could add a carabiner clip or something to attach other items like the Arrow Master has. The kids like that idea. These are just for target shooting so we didn’t line the inside to keep the arrows quiet.
I almost showed these on the custom quiver thread, but the craftsmanship on that thread it too high for out little project.
