Bow quiver fletch cover spreader?
« on: September 23, 2015, 10:00:00 PM »
Does anybody make "a spreader" that you can put into your fletch cover on your bow quiver to keep it open so it doesn't mash your feathers and/or have you made something that does the same?  Any info or ideas would be appreciated.  I'm thinking about using a big cable tie.  Hopefully it will have enough "strength" to stay in a circle shape. Thanks

A cable tie is my preferred method. They are light, cheap, and hold form well.  Easy to apply in many ways.

I never worried about it and never had the problem.

I used a heavy duty zip tie to hold the top of my leather back quiver open. I'm sure it would work well for a fletch cover. Put it together get it to the size you want. Trim of the excess. Then wrap a small piece of duct tape in front of the eyelet  so it cannot be fed through anymore.
Good luck

I just put week wacker line in my 3 Rivers Fletching Cover as suggested by Arrow30. It's perfect, 100x better!
