I am using an old spring arm bear quiver but also microdiameter axis shafts... anyone know a way to tighten up the grip on the shafts? Rubber bands perhaps?

Bryce several companies make an arrow gripper for the smaller diameter shafts.I just don't know if they make them to fit a Bear quiver ? I was shooting Sweetland forge woods last year and I used a thin strip of leather and glued it inside the grippers with contact cement and then put the arrows in the gripper let the glue dry over night and it worked out good.When the glue dried the leather formed to the contour of the grippers bd

If you are handy,I believe you could modify a 7 arrow Delta gripper to work.I cut one down to 5 arrow and modified it for a bear 4 arrow,plastic hood quiver.The delta is the same as the one bear sells for the Custom Kodiak TD.3Rivers should have the grippers.Get the one for the smallest diameter shafts.If it is something you want to tackle,PM me for deails.

I just redid my Bear spring arm quiver... I cut out little sections of rubber bands, and used fletch-tite to glue them in, as the old rubber grippers got old, loose and the arrows ratteled around. The rubber bands took up the extra space and holds them tight, good as new.

Bob York makes replacement grippers for Bear quivers, if you ask he will make them to fit you shafts.

I always just wrapped rubber bands in the slots. No need to glue.
