Title: Protecting Broadheads in a Back Quiver
Post by: browningcobra on August 01, 2010, 05:28:00 PM
Looking for advice on a good way to protect broadheads and keep them sharp when using the traditional leather back quiver/ Thanks for your input.

I have used 1 inch styrofoam, cut to fit tight in the bottom. It holds them until it gets beat up then you need to replace it. It can be bought at most crafts stores. Don't bother gluing anything in the bottom you might need to replace.

A good pliable backquiver that collapses on your back keeps your arrows from rattling around and your heads from getting dull.

Try maybe stuffing a piece of suitably sized sheep skin (the stuff with the thick wool still on) This might be what you are looking for.

My back quiver is pliable and collapses around the arrows.  They don't rattle and I'm surprised by how long they remain sharp, although I have just come to accept that when using a backquiver with broadheads I usually do have to resharpen heads more often.

I took two pieces of wide nylon webbing, laid one on top of the other, cut it into the correct shape for my broadhead, took a propane torch and melted the edges to make a pouch similar to the leather covers you see sold for that purpose.
