Title: quiver from carpet
Post by: Roadkill on January 24, 2011, 04:15:00 PM
I just made a nice side quiver out of new piece of carpet.  Screwed a round wooden disce to the bottom and laced in a strap-also a back quiver the same way.  I put the carpet side inside the quiver, and they work so well for rabbit hunting with hex heads

Yeah pics. I do some dumpster diving at a friends carpet/flooring store and you can come up with some pretty good stuff. Looks like the people didn't like the color or something. Great target backstop material.  And maybe a new quiver!

I've been using the same home-made carpet backquiver for 3-D and fun shooting for over 10 years.  I have more expensive quivers but this one just seems to fit well...like an old favorite pair of shoes.

if it get wet repeatably it will delaminate and the backing will fall off. Floor guy here - nice idea

I remember a fella that came to the shoot at Cloverdale and the GLLI in Marshall, with a carpet quiver.

It was pretty cool looking!

Terry's offer sounds pretty good!
