Title: Safari Tuff Arrowmaster and 2 piece longbow with arrows?
Post by: stalkin4elk on January 28, 2011, 11:46:00 AM
Will the Safari Tuff quiver hold 4-6 arrows and a 2 piece longbow? Or could it be easily modified to do so? This set-up would be useful for hands free travel on bikes,atv,horses,and long backpacking trips until you are ready to hunt.
Thanks for any input.

The arrow master has a removable top so you could slide in a two pc bow. I doubt you would have enough room for the bow and arrows.

I think you could make it work but you might ruffle some of your feathers.

Yes, I bet it would be just fine, and thanks for the suggestion.  I hunt with a Rokon many times with a one piece LB snuggled inside a piece of 4" PVC pipe.  I don't have a two piece LB yet but I can see that it will be on my list.

One thing you might consider is to remove your broadheads from your arrows and store them in a separate box if you are going a long way.  Might eliminate a cut string or damaged tip.

I don't think this would work with a 3 piece though as the riser would likely be too big.

I dont know if it will work, but I will find out when I get home. Thanks for the idea.

I think if you put the handle in the bottom and then put in the arrows you would be fine with space and feathers, but I would be seriously concerned about hacking up my bow with the arrow points.  Trying to slide even the limbs down through the feather would cause some feather issue I think and space issues with the handle double size in the feather area.  Some of that depends on how long the bow is and where the handle ends up.  I think a lot better idea is a bow sock with some attachment straps sown on and clipped to the  strap on the arrow master so it is outside the quiver.

Thanks for asking this question. It has been my plan to do this so I could use my mountain bike to access some spots.

It would fit! Perhaps wrap the broadheads or take them off for transport.

Why not make a couple of quick buckle/cinch straps and strap it to the outside? Could us a cloth bow sock, all would probably then go in pocket when bow is set up.

I have straped a stool to the exterior of mine.

Sounds like it would be tight at least. Bow protection may require an additional internal divider,exterior sleeve pocket sewn in,or quick cinch straps as suggested. Thanks guys and please confirm "yes" or "no" with photos if you can. I really appreciate the help!

I don't know why it wouldn't work. When I hunted St. Vincent Island last year I carried a 66" T/D Wes Wallace Royal and 8 arrows in a Dawg Ware Quiver and had no problems. Since the quiver doesn't have a fletch cover I just used a Tube sock. Worked great.

I put six arrows and a three piece take down long bow(A&H ACS CX)in mine all the time. Works good for me. Gary

I just got my new to me Arrowaster in the mail today.  Fantastic design.  I'm loving it.  I also have a 64" two-piece BamaBow longbow.  Takes down at the handle with a sleeve.  I can manage 10 arrows and my bow in the quiver.  It's tight.  Four to six arrows is no trouble.  These have field points so nothing to scratch the bow with.  I have the stock fletch cover and it just fits over the broken down bow nicely.  Any longer of a bow and I think it would require the longer fletch cover that Rob sells.  Give it a shot.

Hi,
It works just fine. I have a critter gitter sp with the jack knife handle which I put in with 10 arrows and I sometimes take the heads off but not all the time and place them in the pocket. It works out great for me as I can grab that jump on the bike and be off and away.
If you put the arrows in first then slide the bow up into the quiver I find that works best for bow and arrows.
Thanks for your time.

Does your fletching make any noise when you pull arrows out of the quiver? I imagine you could pull one out silently if you pulled it slowly and carefully, but what about pulling one out quickly, such as for a second quick shot at an animal?

I have been very intrigued by this design, but have not seen one in person.

I think it's a relatively quiet system, probably in the same league as an old school back quiver.  The fletching makes little to zero noise, but the shafts can click together when trying to reload quickly.  Now I have not tried mine with broadheads.  If the broadheads are stuck in the foam bottom it may reduce the shaft clicking since each arrow can be spaced appropriately as to eliminate most noise.  I'm sure someone with broadhead experience will chime in.  The Arrowmaster is a great design.
