The backstop I have relied upon the most for backyard shooting is a horse stall mat from tractor supply.  Hung behind a target, it stops any trad bow field point arrows dead, and only continued punishment from broadheads will do damage to it. I don't think a field point could shoot through it, not likely from a trad bow.  It's cheap and amazing.  I hung mine with a little give so it takes the energy out of the arrows fast.  It doesn't seem to damage my arrows at all either.  I picked that tip up here on tradgang but its worth mentioning again.

My son and I just put together a quick video on how I use a back quiver.

Most of you probably already know how to use one ala John Schulz and Howard Hill. For those of you who don't know how, I hope you'll find this video helpful.

I love the "eye candy" Brian.

Chuck you and your son did a great job on your video.

I would say that 95 plus percent of the folks that view it will be helped.

As mentioned in your video, I use a "Mudd flap" attached to the strap to assist me in getting the quiver where I need it.

I do this because of my shoulder reconstruction which doesn't allow my right arm to move to the side for arrow retrieval and for me it's less movement that trying to "Bump" it there.

God bless,Mudd

Thanks, guys! Talking to a camera is not really my thing, but I though some members might pull their back quivers out of the closet and give them another try (aimed at you, Brian.)    :biglaugh:    

Roy: somehow missed you calling your innovation a "Mudd Flap" ! I like that!

Thanks for the video Chuck. I couldn't watch it till I got to my desktop. Very nicely done.

If I can part with my side stalker quiver long enough I will get the HHA back quiver off the pegs and give her another go.

Well,  I finally snuck in some shooting tonight. I didn't bring the bow on the road with me this week as my schedule was hectic but I slung 1/2 doz shots out of the vixen tonight.
Shooting bear razor heads from this set up and they are flying good good good.

Hopefully I can get out and do some hunting this year as all I got in last was one 45 min mid morning sit.  If I can get this house sold and family moved soon ill get my chance. Untill then ill shoot my BH and pretend while reading everyone else's stories

I have a 62" Berry Northstar. I only draw 26 1/4" though, but it is as smooth as any other I have shot.  Great pointability, smooth and quick.  I am loving it.

I took my "Tembo" for a little walkabout last night. New spot I was scouting, very thick lots of brush. It was very hard to be quiet. Had a small flock of turkeys fly right over head, that was way cool.
 
Did find some deer sign, so I know they are in there. Can't wait for opining day.

All of my Hill-style bows are 64".  My drawlength is just shy of 25" and they work fine for me.  For me 64"-66" seem fine.  If you have a long drawlength, say over 28" I would go longer.

Irish Archer, I have a 64" Big Five, 60@29. I draw 28.75" and have no problems with it at all. It's one of my favorite bows.
