i have a bear quiver with metal 90 degree connecters attached and I'm not sure how to mount it ? do i just wrap it with some kind of tape or am i missing parts ? No holes in metal arms not sure how old it is ? Just thinking of mounting to old bear bows i own .
Picture would help but that might be an old compound bow quiver?
i found it in the 1958 bear catalog its listed as bear tape on quiver easy on and off . I bought some velcro to wrap it on an old recurve
Does it have a hood to cover the broadheads?
It sounds like the metal/leather top for three + one on the back. It was designed to be taped on, but check the back of the arms to see if it still has the padded area to prevent scratching.
Years ago, one of our TradGang brothers (Ray Lyon??) posted a picture of a Bear tape on quiver that he modified to use Great Northern rubber straps. He drilled holes in the arms, and used brass screws and nuts to make a "pin"... Then he slid the strap down the arm and over the screw which left about an inch of "pin" to secure the strap as you wrapped it around the bow.
It looked very secure, and a classy touch for an old Bear recurve!! :thumbsup:
The original bear quiver has a rubber coated spring on each end which you slip on one limb then spring it back and press the lower spring on the limb. It is a neat idea. I'll have dig mine out. It is really well thought out.
Actually...... The first "original" Bear bow quiver from the 1950's had one arm, that mounted to the side of the riser below the grip with a wood screw. Then came the double arm tape on in the late 50's, followed by the double spring arm in the early 60's, and the single spring arm in the 70's when they started putting stabilizer bushings in their bows
