Title: Home-made pack style quiver!
Post by: Apex Predator on April 24, 2008, 08:40:00 PM
Here is my latest brain storm. I hunted all day with it Monday, and it was the "bomb". Best thing I've tried yet. I had it on another cheap pack, as well. I just received this one and it's better. This is an ACU Stryker by Flying Circle Bags. I like it a lot. I was having problems packing out hogs and carrying my arrows at the same time. I didn't like a bow quiver. I can reload an arrow in this one without removing the pack. It's difficult, but works much easier than the Catquiver Mini that I had. A plastic baggie stays in my pack for foul weather. I found that not having a permanent hood allowed me to make this one several inches shorter, which is a good thing. I used an old 4 arrow PSE bow quiver for the hood, a piece of aluminum tube that a flattened slightly for the fletch end, and a piece of ipe for the connecting piece. I covered the pieces with some green leather that I had. What do you think?

Looks great. Maybe i'll try making one too. I use a back quiver now but your quiver looks like its easier to travel with.

This quiver detaches from the pack easily, and I could carry it as a back quiver if I ever felt the desire.
