Title: Bear Leather Top Tape On Quiver LH?
Post by: jr1959 on August 19, 2013, 05:54:00 PM
Was the leather top tape on available in left hand.  I've swithed to southpaw and picked up a 55 Kodiak as well as a new 59 Kodiak.  If not I'll pick up a great northern strap on.  Jim

Im not sure if they came in LH but prolly do. The leather tops look cool but there are much better quivers to use like the great northern you mentioned. The leather top has a very small hood so if your broadheads are some of the bigger ones it can be hard to fit them in without them touching the inside of the aluminum hood. Also they are 3 arrow quivers with a place on the backside for a forth but that one will only hold certain heads in it. A lot of guys that do use the tape on ones modify them to strap ons too and thats easy to do. It wouldnt be real hard to mod a right hand one to use as a LH one either and that would sure be easier to find.Another thing, if you use carbon arrows the grippers more than likely wont work with them.

Bear did make left handed leather top's. I see the righties on the auction site every so often, can't remember seeing any lefties.

Thanks for the replies, I'll keep looking for a lefty.  I have a righty that I modified with a Great Northern strap and some copper rivets.  jim

Bear did make a leather top lefty quiver. I had one in the early 60's on my Kodiak.
