Title: Howard Hill Archery Backquivers?
Post by: flint kemper on February 04, 2009, 06:32:00 PM
Does anybody own one from Craig? If so how do you like it and the weight of the leather as well. Is it to stiff or to light? If you have pictures please post them. I need a new backquiver for my Miller String follow bow I ordered. Thanks for replies. Flint   :)

I have one, and really like it.  I have the model made from the stiffer, and it really is nice.  I do not find it to be too stiff at all.  I sat on it for a couple of nights while on line, and it's perfect.  I can't do pics here but I can E-mail one to you if you want.  Just PM you me your E-mail addy.

Hey Flint did you get to see one of Mr. Millers backquivers? What did you think if you did?

Thanks...Ken

I have one of the stiff ones too. It was the only one they had back when I bought mine. After about 5 years or so, it's still holding up well, except the rawhide lacing that holds the shoulder strap on, which dried out after a couple years here in the AZ desert. No big deal, I just replace it as needed with rawhide shoelaces from Wally World. I did find mine way stiff when new, and if you don't want to spend a lot of time getting it to conform to your shape, you probably want to check out the softer one they're selling now.

Here's mine. No "in use" shots, sorry.

Here is a shot of my HH quiver. It was made back in 1985. It is still going strong. I've relaced it two or three times. It is the thick latigo leather. It has softened overt he years and is my favorite. I'll pass it down to my son when the time comes.

Along side it are two mini HH quivers I made for my nephews two Christmas' ago.
