Title: Advice on Quiver Making
Post by: Beepy on February 23, 2008, 08:45:00 PM
So, I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to make a quiver fit in the budget.... then I got to thinking.  I have a bunch of 8oz leather stashed away somewhere!  I might try making one.  Now considering my last attempt at leather work turned out like a .... well....  crap  I need ideas for the easiest quiver possible.  Also any advice on  if hip or back works best for trad shoots would be great!

Beepy....
   Use Robs Quiver Plans....
I use one similar to it, I just eliminate the top row of Holes across the top and I make mine 2" longer and then fold over the top....To stiffin it and give it some contrast....And I just make it with straight sides....And I have my own way of attaching the top of the strap.
   I modified the plans for a 4" and 6" wide Quiver....
   Heres a Batch of 7 going to VM13 for the kids.

Sorry I did not look at that section, I still am pretty new --  I think this might be my 8th time logging on.  Thanks for the links!  Any opinions on which is better a back or side quiver? Advantages and disadvantages of either?  Thanks for the help guys!

Beepy....
   There realy is no advantage of one type Quiver over another....
   It's all a personal thing....I switch from one type to another all the time....
