Well, Since starting Trad in Jan, all I really thought about was the bow and arrows, and getting good enought to hunt. Well I have def. reached those goals, so I have been thinking of quivers.
I have a hard leather back quiver, its a Ben Pearson, from im guessing late 60's, and that is what I use for 3D and target. But it is noisy and everytime I bend at the waist all my arrows go all over. So, I tried a bow quiver but did not like it. Even in my compound days the quiver came off once I made it to stand, and with the Longbow it really seems to play into my shooting.
So I really would like to try a Bow Mate Elite, Safari Tuff or Dawgware side quiver. Ive got an ad in the classifieds now.
But untill then, I was looking at the GFA side quiver and figured I have two old detachable quivers laying around and said to myself, "self, you can make that". Well long story short and 2 min later I tek screwed some old nylon slip buckle straps I had laying around to the exisisting quivers and BAM!!!! I now have two GFA's. I used them outside just with some practice shots and I dont mind it at all. I will take a test run throught the bush, no literally the bushes between my house and the neighbors, to see if i like how it flows.
For hunting situation I can see the GFA being a very good set-up, I mean its not like you are quick draw McGraw in the woods. It seems to hold my arrows securly, in easy reach and safely. Now putting them back in is not like the back quiver but in a hunting situation I dont need that, target practice its a pain, but oh well.
With all that said, I would still like to try the Safari Tuff Style quivers. My DIY moment of the day was sponsored by Craftsman Powertools and Tek brand Tek screws, with the help of my 3y/o and 18mo old. Have a merry day ya'll
