[TooManyHobbies]

Simple yet effective. Very good.

looking good 30c.....how's it working in the field?

It looks to me as if you are ready to go into production. When is the Christmas sale!
I just don't know about the divider as it would prevent the top leather from putting pressure on the arrows to minimize rattling.  

Great looking quiver and job well done. You should be proud.

The top needs to stay open so you can remove/replace your arrows without a fight. The quiver is soft enough that it wraps around my back and bends in the middle to keep the arrows from rattling. Occasionally I'll hear a couple fletches rub together, but that's usually right after I put it on. Once I walk a ways, they seem to settle in an behave.

So far pretty well. The only negative so far has been one of my pointy Zwickey Deltas poking out through the lacing on the bottom. I didn't put anything in the bottom except a second layer of thicker leather, which was smaller than the outside layer. I added a piece of carpet in the bottom of my other back quiver. I may do that with this one too, just to keep them from slipping down and slicing through my laces. How do you avoid this problem?

You can actually make leather "booties" for your broadheads (all attached together by a single piece of rawhide).  Here is a very interesting link on that aspect of a back quiver - protection from broadheads is addressed in the article.  This guys pouch is similar to yours.  Nice quiver!

Great job I like the quiver bag very useful

[rdoggsilva]

Looking good, great job.

Hey 30c try getting a small piece of thick rawhide big enough to cover the inside bottom of your quiver and up the side about 3-4", soak with cool water until pliable and shape into a cup in the bottom of the quiver, or find a cup about the same diameter and shape the rawhide to the cup and let it dry. I used this rawhide idea on a backquiver I did and it seems to be keeping the BH's from poking through the leather.

Another benefit of the booties referenced in the attached article is that they ensure broadheads stay sharp (no touching each other).  Also, added safety in case you fall - will not be able to go through you quiver and puncture a kidney or something else lethal/fatal.

Looks great!

I make two pieces of leather the same size for the bottom, one for inside after it's laced.  It's a little large due to the inside circumference of the quiver, but that makes the leather cover the lacing.  Then I add another 1/2 piece of leather to go where the broadheads sit...making it 3 thicknesses of leather where the arrowheads are sitting...about 3/8" thick.  then I add the shag carpet to keep the broadheads from moving around.

That sounds like a plan! I have the pattern for the bottom piece. I can cut out another piece and leave it unpunched then add the carpet.

Thanks, Nate!

I made some, but I don't like them. I also read the article and tried it his way, but you have to push them all in at once. Then, if you take out one arrow, the bootie stays in the quiver. Putting one arrow back in is impossible. When I pull the whole bunch out, the booties usually want to stay in the bottom of the quiver...not worth the hassle!

I have found that broadheads get along just fine in there. As far as them dulling or clacking together, it doesn't seem to happen for me. I did slide the tip of one through the seam as mentioned above, but I believe Nate has the cure for that.

So far, I'm liking the quiver. Very few negatives that I can see. Pulling it under my arm makes traveling through brush a snap. Last weekend I spent 3 hours tracking a doe that my youngest son shot and only got one lung. She took us through some really nasty stuff and in the dark no less. I never had an issue with my quiver, even going over fences and crawling under limbs. I was pleasantly surprised.

That will work just fine

By the way, we did recover his deer!

Nice work!  I really like it (and the arrows too!)
