Title: Bear Quivers
Post by: jrbows on October 17, 2009, 02:38:00 PM

I've got a bear bow recently bought from sticshooter that was in the tree-stand with me this-morning and will be this-evening,and 4 bear arrows from a yard sale with razor heads that I re-nocked and re-fletched,seems kind of out of place not to have a bear quiver,wanted to ask the guys who know,which quiver is the deepest,I'm kind of picky about how much arrow sticks out of the back quiver, the ones I have made only let the nock and fletching stick out, I shoot a full length cedar,and does any-one have one in reasonable hunting condition they would be willing to part with?I'm not looking for a museum piece,if no one has one what to look for model or year wise should get me started,THANKS.

If you are looking for a back quiver that hangs over one shoulder, I'm not aware of any of the vintage Bear quivers that are that deep.

There are several "center of the back" quivers that are pretty deep, such as the Nimrod and St. Charles quivers.

The Nimrod is the quiver 2nd from the left in the photo.  The arrows in that quiver are 31 1/2" from tip to tip.

Arrow removal on all of these quivers is from the bottom.

Trap - Nice quivers.

In addition to those Trap shows, there are also several variations of the tube style Northwoods, shown in the upper right corner of this photograph.

The straps of the Northwoods were designed so it could be center of the back, over either shoulder or hung from the belt. Arrows come out the top or an optional back zippered flap. It is a little shorter than a Nimrod or St. Charles.
