What are convenient ways to carry "bird-point" arrows?

[Naphtali]

I want to try wing-shooting birds. I have no idea how to carry several arrows with large-diameter wire bird points.

I use a bow quiver. These large points will not fit. And these points appear too large to fit back or side quivers.

Do I take one arrow and use it until I lose it?

Can you put them in your bow-quiver upside down? I've done thqt with a back quiver hunting pheasants in upstate N.Y. Had to switch to broadheads finally.

I've been looking at 3Rivers catalog -- Snaro 3-inch and 6-inch Bird Points. I am doubtful these points will clear my lower limb upside down.

Lance, Eagle's Flight Archery makes a "MiniClip" quiver which should work. It consists of two arrow grippers for blunts, bird points, or judo points. It works for 3" points, but 6" points would not work well.

If you want to know more, you can email me or look at my website listed in the sponsers section.

I was wondering the same thing. I bought a hip quiver, and was planning on carrying the bird points upside down in the quiver. Only draw back would be the wait-a-minute branches and stuff "stealing" arrows....let me know what you come up with.

Okay, I found a solution, but that solution is unacceptable for me.

 Keystone    offers the Gobbler Guillotine Bird Point AND the Guillotine Quiver. What makes this bird point worthwhile is the special quiver. What makes this solution unacceptable is the quiver's cost -- $119.95.

Has anyone else found any solution, one having a reasonable cost?

Could you just carry them in a plains style quiver, bird point out? Only other thing I can think of is to make a "special duty" quiver with two sets of arrow grippers and no hood.

[Naphtali]

We think the same, Jamie. Gripper-only [quiver] support would work for the Snaro Bird Points because the "point" is essentially coiled wire, analogous to a fly swatter.

The Gobbler Guillotine would be unsuited. Its point includes long sharpened propeller-like blades.

I wish I could deduce what the GG's manufacturer was thinking when he decided to amortize his quiver injection molding die costs in half-a-dozen quiver sales. This is not shooting oneself in the foot; it's amputation with a blunt axe.

If you're going after pheasants, those snaro will wound more than they will kill, unless you hit head neck area.  I've never been that good.

I like a modified flu-flu, with a 3 blade Bodkin head, dulled down along the edges.  Still sharp enough to penetrate a pheasant, but the flu-flu fletching will keep it from going into the next county.  Those will fit in any quiver.

This is great pheasant and squirrel medicine:

I happen to have about a dozen OLD bodkins too. I was worried about using Bhs because of my hard charging brit....could always get her a kevlar vest.  :D  
I have heard good things about the GG for turkeys..I can imagine the trouble that comes carrying a few GG tipped arrows around though.

Jamie....the Gobbler Guillotine is another head that is pretty useless unless you hit head or neck.  Look at it carefully.
