This is my first attempt at the Bear Leather Top Quiver Replica. I have not been able to shoot or try it out do to my shoulder surgery. This is a proto type and I am still ironing things out. This has been a good project for some one with time on there hands for I have spent hours on the phone and computer. The big question is will I be able to build them and have them affordable? We will see! The old Bear quivers had a spot on the back that a spare arrow with a razor head would fit. To do this is way to costly in tooling so I think I will make it to hold a blunt or judo. So it will hold 3 broadheads and a blunt. This model I built to fit my Robertson Stykbow. I angled the quiver a bit. There will be some changes but the look is there the rest is just modifing. If it ends up I can build them at a resonable price I will probably have a few models. Let me know what you think? These are not for sale at this time.

Yes Richard it is a little longer. If they go in to production they will all be longer. I hope I can pull this off and be able to sell these. Thanks for the compliment! Scott

You did a awesome job.
-
Scott,
I kind of had a feeling you were up to building one when you asked the question back in April about the leathertops..I thought I bet he will try to build one and I cann't wait to see it and now here it is...Great job Scott like all your works of Art.... :thumbsup:
-
Beautiful work.
-
Scott it looks awesome. Will they work with carbons too as the originals are too big (the arrow gripper that is)?
-
Vince,
If I can get these made with in reason. I am still very early in the figureing it out part. I will have difrent size grippers avalible. I also will have a few difrent models because it will be be very simple to say have a bolt on, strap on and possibly adjustable in lenght. Its going to be a bit I will be going up to Billings to get some prices. I just have no idea at this point what I will have in raw material cost plus labor. Once I get a solid number I will be able to decide. Its just if I have $75.00 bucks in each one before I get them built I will have to stop I dont think they will sell after building them. What would you pay? I think they will have to retail between $100.00 and $140.00 or people will just buy one of the many others. If I am gonna go broke I want to do it hunting elk not building bow quivers :goldtooth: .

A spring arm quiver would be nice, but I understand your cost's.

I think the the strap on would kinda replace the spring arm. I think it would be the best but I dont know.
-
That turned out fantastic, very nice work!

I would buy the bolt on model like the original. The older bolt on is becoming harder to come by. The model you have is making me drool. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
-
TTT. Scott have you decided if this will be offered yet? I am in the market for a new quiver.
-
Still working things out. I am a one man shop. When I work on new product production on other work stops. This quiver is not going to be here this fall.
-
Thanks scott.
-
that looks like fine work...
and you usually pay for what you get...
-
I agree. If the workmanship is head and shoulders above anything else (which it sure appears to be) then we will have a decision to make. And right now I know what I would do. I just think what you have come up with is just fantastic.
Good luck.
