Home made fletch covers
« on: November 18, 2011, 08:05:00 PM »
Ive been kicking around starting to use a fletch cover on my GFA quiver. Since I've never used one, I was thinkin I'd make one myself, but really have no clue how to as I'm not even sure where to start. I knwo I dont want any velcro involved. I hate that stuff on hunting clothes or accessories. Would it e possible to see some pics of covers, and how theyre put together so I can figure out how to make one?
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

On my side quiver I use a fleece camo stocking hat. Poked s hole in it and attached to the quiver with stretch cord. It came with a black one but wasn't big enough for more than 4 arrows.

I think I got this fletch cover from 3Rivers. When not in use I keep it wrapped around the body of the quiver.
  You can easily make a fletch cover with a little fleece material and some shock cord. Sew up a small bag, inside out, and reverce it for use. Roll and stitch the top edge. Thread the shock cord through the folded edge and you're done.

A needle and thread along with an old scarf and cord or rubber band (fat newwspaper type) mand you can make one. cut a section of scarf and fold it over and sew the sides. fold the bottom over to make a rim and sew the rubber band inside the fold. and then your done.
