Who uses one and what do you think about it? I like to see a good pic and hear what you like and don't like.
Jim,
I have one of his "Shootist" side quivers. Real piece of artwork! Art even carved a replica of my P&Y buck on the side. If you're interested, I'll take a picture of it and post it here Monday. Can't say that there is anything that I don't like about it.
Yes please!
My friend Art's leatherwork is second to none!
Jim,
Here are 3 pics. On the close-ups you can really see the quality of Art's detailing. You can easily get 3 arrows in each of the 3 tubes. I got the belt from Art as well; it also is finely detailed. This is the "dark" brown color he offers

Here's one of the first Logsdon Special Edition Stalkers Art did. The latest version has a darker stain in the rawhide trim on the broadhead hood. The "Special Edition" is based upon earlier models, such as the Mantis that our brother of the bow Ron LaClair has used successfully for years (I bought my first Mantis from Ron). Art and I were discussing ways to modify the older design which led to the Special Edition. Trad guys seem to love it and more and more compound shooter are discovering the appeal of a finely crafted leather quiver. For example Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland has been showing his LSE quiver off around the Mossy Oak offices in MS. Maybe he'll make a few "converts" along the way:^)

Jim, the arrows are extremely secure and QUIET. The distance between the hood and "arrow grippers" is such that even long arrows like mine (34", including broadhead) are fully supported. The new design allows a bit more space between each arrow fletch to eliminate that raspy sound we all try to avoid. The new rubber gripper holds virtually any size shaft, including small dia. carbons. An arrow is missing in the photo to show how the first arrow would load from the side. At the moment of truth during a stalk you slip the first arrow out sideways for even more silence. I use mine in stands (strap, hang or tie to the tree), for still hunting, and to secure arrows in a ground blind. The quiver works great in a blind; lay it flat on the ground or against the blind wall. If you happen to mmmmmmmmmisssssss:^( you can quietly reach down and slip another arrow our without the quiver moving with it . . . anyone who's tried to grab an arrow out of a Mickey Mouse quiver with one hand knows the advantage of this feature. Art's also come up with a quiet custom fletching cover that will shed water. Finally, after you get in from hunting the wife doesn't mind seeing a fine work in leather hanging on the den wall! Heirloom quality stuff.
WOW
Very impressive!
