I have a great northern quiver and I'm trying to find a way to "shrink" the gripper to work for some carbon arrows. BW sells some little bands but it looks like those are for a selway type quiver.
The arrow fits fairly snug, but not tight. Any suggestions???

They sell a smaller sized gripper for the Great Northern, 3 Rivers, Kustom King and I'm sure others.

Maybe you can wash it in hot water.

How about rubber bands or o-rings around the center grippers? If you want just a little more, maybe some serving string or dental floss to take up some space.

Thanks xtrema! I did jack around with some serving string in an attempt to tighten it up. I took the advise from Crash and ordered a Medium Gripper from 3 rivers. I didn't know they came in different sizes until now!

the medium gripper will fit 5/16" carbons and 2016/2018 aluminums.
the small gripper will fit the axis/mfx shafts.

Electrical tape, (sticky side to the gripper) is a quick bandaid fix. It will last for awhile, while a new gripper is being aquired...........

Cut rubber grippers from the soles of shoes or boots. Shape them on a grinder.

Go to the drug store and buy a pack of the little rubber band that go on teeth braces.
Wrap one on a side of the gripper, if that is not tight enough, add one to the other leg of the gripper.
It works real well.
