Title: My latest projects....(pics) bow quiver update
Post by: saumensch on January 10, 2011, 11:12:00 AM
Hello,

as i always like new ideas and love to see pics of youre projects i thought id share some of my latest works.

1. Side-quiver

As i like some things about bowquivers but dont like em on my bows i made a side quiver out of half a Thunderhorn Boa, some Piggy Backers, some aluminum, a piece of leather and a strap.
First i made for 8 arrows but that was to clumpsy and i shortend it for 6 arrows.

2. new arrows
The set of arrows ive put the most work in till now.
340 MFX Classics 30", 50 grain insert, 125 grain point, alufooting back and front; 4x4" feathers wound with dental floss. Since i leave the back-footing longer and wind it in, i like the looks much better.

3.  bow bag

Out of an old wool blanket and B50 string and some straps i sewed a tight fitting bag for my Bob Lee TD LB.

4. pouch
same materials as the bow bag made a small belt pouch for points, string, nocks etc.
Still have to put a button on it, will use a horn button that is in the making.

Hope you liked it,

Good job.  I have a bow quiver that I want to use to make a side quiver like yours.  Maybe I'll make a wool pouch, too.  Good idea.  Thanks for the pics.
