St Charles Cat quiver

[Slickhead]

Anyone know if these are being reproduced?
I like a cat style quiver but dont need the bulk
and weight of the pouch.

May be a DIY project

Years ago I bought the Catquiver when it first came out. Then later, I bought the original St Charles from Anderson Archery.

I loved the cotton pouch of the Catquiver but loved the solid wood base of the St Charles. So...I cut off the aluminum tubes and pop riveted the top and base of the Cat to a piece of wood. I'm seriously thinking about doing it to my Catquiver 3.5 now.

Here is a photo from the early 70's.....

Something like this? I have some build along pics I could post if there is any interest. That is an older pic. I have actually re-done the stitching with artificial sinew. Looks smoother now.

being in the airport business, I made the start of one fron aircraft grade Alunimum.  It was to be adjustable for length, deep fletch cover and solid enough to hang a variety of pouches/ bags on. It is light but solid.  never did finish it as I started using a side quiver.  For stickly hunting with light gear they are tops.  I had trouble getting arrows in behind my back.  Unlike your pics, my broadheads were down, might have to try it with them pointed up-if I can do that safely.

I still have one of Jerry's quivers in the garage too.  I liked the idea of the cat quiver and they do hang nicely on a transport pack for serious backpacking.

The broad heads are down. The two turned up have judos on them with cork spacer on the  knock to make thm fit

Thanks Duncan.  Makes sense that Judos would shot at returned more than broadheads.  Still i may have to experiment a bit more. Putting a thick foam with enough down pressure with a softer nock padding amy be better.  It is worth another look

I cut off a piece of foam wide enough so it fits snug and high enough in the base to carry my Judo in the Catquiver. Works great....

The Mini Cat has no pouch or bag. I think you can get shoulder straps for it also.

You know those are all judos in that pic. But I do put my broad heads down. I have carpet in the base and if I remember correctly I added 2 more layers of carpet to make the judos fit. I only use the wine cork spacers when I have both types in the quiver.
