I have a 3 ft. section of white, 4", thin walled, PVC type sewer drain pipe(unused!) and 2 end caps for it and would like it if maybe some of you could post some pictures of some ideas/projects that you have come up with for using it as a side/back quiver. Kinda like the ones that have a section cut out of the side for easy arrow access. I did a search on this website already but couldn't find many pics. of homemade ones. Thanks a bunch for any help! :)
I made one, but dont have any pics.
I used 3 ", and it will hold about a half dozen arrows.
It works well as it is closed and protecs the arrows VERY well. I put a clean out on the upper section to facilitate arrow insertion and removal after the hunt.
For single arrow removal, I cut an oblong oval into the lower section, three inches up from the end. I need to widen it though to make it a bit better.
To help with noise I covered it with camo from years ago, then I wove some 550 cord for the strap.
Hope it helps.
This one is from 3 1/2" thin walled stuff. Plugged with a wood round cut from a cedar shingle. Camo cloth from a fabric store was glued with barge cement-but any WP cement will do.

The straps coulda' been better, maybe next time....
Oh yeah, some camo cloth becomes way noisy when glued to a pipe........found that out the hard way. Ended up covering the first attempt with fleece camo material.
This is great, guys. Keep'em comin'. So you're just using foam in the bottom for broadheads and fieldtips?
Can't help with your project but wanted to say hello. I'm in Radcliff.
Hello George. I have you on my buddy list. Where do you shoot at mostly?
Hey Douglas,
Here are some pics of one I made. Have made several more since this one, but no pics. They are all basically the same though with minor modifications. NO, that is not me modeling the quiver.

I used the 4 inch thin walled stuff. The inside is covered with the adhesive backed foam used in crafty type projects to diminish noise. I used nylon webbing for straps with quick snap type buckles.
I have turkey hunted and hog hunted with it and it works great for me. I am taller than the model so when I wear it and duck under branches it does not hang up. You can crawl around on your belly all day with and it does fine.
One addition to all the ones i make now is a sternum strap like you would find on a back pack. That way you won't have to be hitching up the shoulder straps all the time. I can get 6 broadhead arrows and 3 "bunny buster" arrows in it.
Make you one. They are inexpensive. Make the first one look as good as you can, if it's not quite right give it away and make you another. I just use dead flat spray paint (2-3 coats) on the outside.

Very nice, OkKeith. How long is it? I think I need mine to be shorter. I'm wanting to carry it more at an angle or under my arm on my side? Mine will probably be very similar to yours though. Thanks for your reply.
Heres a link that shows how to make a back quiver out of pvc. It dont have the side removal.

Cahaba, I just watched the youtube vid from the link you provided. Now that was cool. Actually, I have a 10 ft. section so I can cut it into 3 sections and make my 2 sons a back quiver each, and there's can be like the one in the vid. Thanks a bunch for your reply. :thumbsup:

I love the internet.... :readit: :thumbsup:
I see I'm not the only one trying to figure out how to make a sewer pipe quiver. :D
Interesting, you guys got me thinking about making one. :thumbsup:
KY :archer:
bjorn that is neat.
Thought about something like that myself but yours is much nicer that what I was picturing.
Douglas,
I shoot a full length arrow (32 inch shaft plus nock and broadhead) so for me it must be fairly long. Also don't forget that you need some extra length to lift out the arrows.
Good Luck,
OkKeith
Okay, OkKeith, thanks for the advice. I'll sure keep that in mind.
