My buddy CJ Pearson made me an awesome quiver. I've wanted one like this for a while now. It will be perfect for stalking hogs. I made a couple of slight changes though. I think I modify everything I buy! :bounce:
I made a strap for the rear like he had made for the front. I also changed the location of my knife, which John Johnston had made for me.

Dang Marty, I really like that! Hope she helps you on the hog hunts. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I like it. Looks rugged & solid. Is this a side/hip quiver?
You wear it over your shoulder and under your drawing arm. You can also swing it around and wear it like a back quiver if negotiating some thick stuff. I works really well, but I have to figure out how to stop the squeaks.
Montana Pitch Blend.
I hunted with this quiver a week or so ago, and had to make some improvements. The rear strap around the quiver squeaked badly. I couldn't make it quiet and it was driving me crazy in the woods. The other problem that I found was the opening to draw arrows from was collapsing slightly and it is pretty small to start with. Drawing an arrow was not too difficult, but drawing a specific arrow was a pain. I needed a better way to have access to a judo for killing stumps. This is what I came up with.
First I got rid of the rear strap and sewed on a wing harness type set-up. It doesn't make any noise, and gave me a great, secure place to locate my knife sheath. The sheath is sewed in at the rear.

Next I cut one of the piggy backer quiver do hickys in half, and used them as a judo holder. I secured them with a screw through the doubled leather in each spot. A dab of super glue gel on the threads makes it very secure.

Next I cut two ipe strips and drilled holes all down the center to lace it to the leather arrow opening. The strips extend past the hole on each end by about 1 1/2". Now it stays open and looks pretty cool.

Lastly, I stained the whole quiver a little darker, since it's the only color I had on hand. I think it's mahogony. I just made a good quiver into a great quiver. I'm hunting with it tomorrow, and will let you all know how she does.
I really like the version 2 mods, Marty. That quiver's really starting to look like a winner to me.
:clapper: nice one!!
Just like your bows, they get better each time.
