Title: Bear quiver question ?
Post by: 1/4 away on March 02, 2012, 10:36:00 AM

I've recently gotten the urge for a vintage Bear recurve and was lucky enough yesterday to find a 1966 Kodiak in excellent condition. I'm looking to put a Bear quiver on it from  that year and was wondering if my only option is a spring arm quiver. Thanks.

I've seen some people use those Selway slip on quivers, and they seem to work pretty good too.

Since when is a Selway a 1966 quiver?

The quivers available in 1966 for the Kodiak were the: L-640R 8 arrow quiver which was a springarm quiver with green plastic hood, the L-645R 4 arrow quiver which was a brown metal hood springarm, the L660 brown metal hood wich attached with a single screw to the handle bushing, and the L650 which was a brown meatl hood and had two brackets that taped to the handle. Hope this helps.

Thanks wadde. I think I have a line on a leather top spring arm quiver which should look great on it.

Anyone know where I can get replacement grippers for the leather top quiver ?
