Title: Bow quiver questions
Post by: 2treks on March 24, 2012, 06:22:00 PM

I am looking for a quiver that will mount into the bushings on the Back of an old Browning recurve.
I have only used one bow quiver in my life and that was 20+ years ago.

What kind am I looking for, or who makes one?

Chuck, Do you mean on the back of the bow at the fadeouts? If so a Delta or Wing quiver will work perfect and they are very good quivers.

YES, The bow has two bushings about 12" apart.
And for my next Question, Can I buy a quiver like this new or do I need to find a used one.
Again, I have never used or been involved with this type of quiver.
I will check out 3R now.
Thank you Ben

Chuck, I don't think you can buy them new. The Wing I know the only way you can get one new would be NOS that someone still has or used. They popup every now and then that way, the Delta might still be available. If you want a picture of them I've got both and I could take a couple pictures. The top looks like an upside down drinking cup and some were made to double as one. They are very good quivers and quiet. I used them exclusively for years.

Yeh, I guess I figured the wing was Old stock but I can't remember if the Deltas are still made.

I see this one on the site. 180807904724

I will keep my eyes open for a delta.
I had a delta not long agao but it had velcro straps to hold it on. I sent it to Bill Carlson to make a haversack quiver out of. It was a nice solid quiver it seemed.

Thanks for the offer of pics. I wont trouble you that much though. Thanks again for your info.

I went out to the shop and took a couple pictures of the Delta anyway. It is mounted on a old Palmer and I made new brackets to make it a side mount, but it had the brackets needed to mount on the face like yours.With the front mount brackets it set farther forward. It holds six arrows. Had to shoot the old Palmer while I was there!                  (http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd251/bens5218/001-7.jpg)                                                                   (http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd251/bens5218/002-7.jpg)

Cool Ben, Thank You.
The Delta I had was different than that,with a plastic oval shaped hood and flat lower holder.

I will keep my eyes open for one.

Chuck, Bear has a brand new quiver that may work as is, or looks like a good starting point with some longer brackets.  Google "Bear Archery AS3193007" and take a look, I may try one myself.  

Good luck,

Brad
