"Great (good) things come to those who wait" could be a new revised quote line to apply here Charlie. It's got to be one of the physically lightest bows I've owned but is still so well behaved.  This is my first reverse handle string follow bow and I'm already a fan.

Well I'll need to track down some more #8 Microflite arrows.  This bow seems to  really like them and I've only got a half dozen.  Going to add some hush puppies and call it good.

OK, next up, Hill style back quiver. Who's making a good one? I had one from the late 70's from HHA and liked it-except-I didn't like the T-shirt stain from bleed through, so I got rid of it a number of years back. Who's making one that has the slight collapse and is easy to use the elbow bump with (I'm adept at that). I'm using a 29" arrow, and will be using Grizzly broadheads, so is it better to have a 20" or 22" depth?

The JD Berry Northstar is coming along just fine and Steve Turay says probably first part of July on my Shelton build (I called to ask about the quiver on his website but he's not selling them anymore).  Thanks for the help gents.

Ray,
I had a great quiver for about 12 yeas that was made by Art Vincent (Cedar Ridge Leather....) He called it a "hunter".  

He is making me a new one that is due to be delivered in a couple weeks!  Can't wait!

He is a sponsor here too so that is a bonus....IMO.

Tony,
I saw that quiver and know of Art's work well (he made two beautiful Shrew Mantis quivers for my daughters that 'Uncle' Ron LaClair signed for the girls). I'm not a frills person and liked the simple looks of that Hunter quiver on his website, just didn't know if it was the right stiffness and worked well with an elbow bump.  Hard to tell that from pictures. Yes, I would do business with Art in a heartbeat if it's the right quiver.

Once I got the shoulder strap oriented perfectly to my lanky body, a small needed "bump" was easy.

Even after 12 years, the leather still held the line between being soft  enough to hold the arrows in place yet sufficiently stable to sit higher off my right shoulder.

Ray . Nate steen Makes a great back quiver . He'll make it to fit you . Or call up Craig at hh. They have two models with different  thickness of leather.

Back quivers aren't hard to make on your own.

Ditto on Nate Steen's quiver.  One of the finest I have had.

Thanks for the input guys. I spoke with Art Vincent this afternoon and he's going to fix me up with one of his custom back quivers. He's done some work for my daughters (see below) through Ron LaClair, so I'm comfortable with his work and of course he's a sponsor here too. I'll post pics in about 6-8 weeks.

Cool!

Picked up a dozen #8 Microflite arrows from the big auction site today. Look to be in great shape. Now I'm going to start tuning broadheads to the Northstar.

Was fortunate tto harvest my first trad bow turkey yesterday.   What made it sweet, was that I did it with an ASL. Double Bull Blind, Avian Jake decoy, 60" Howard Hill - Tembo 55# @ 25", Gold Tip Blem 3555 w/Simmons Land Sharks & a Chad Orde leather string tracker.  Hopefully "Tom" will come visit when the next "Morningstar" rises.
