Title: Anyone build their own bow quiver?
Post by: Jethro21 on March 31, 2011, 01:40:00 AM
I am kinda a do it yourself kinda guy, not always successful but I like to try. I am wondering if anyone has made their own bow quiver. This has nothing to do with cost of buying, I just get a kick out of making things.

Anyone do this and how?

Thanks,
Jethro

Check the Build-A-Long forum, there are several.  And I am sure in a bit there will be a whole bunch of replies up on here as well.

That is a good looking rig Dick.

Just to be clear, by bow quiver I mean one that attaches to the limb bolts. My idea is to use part of an old hip quiver I have and then make the other half out of leather I have on hand. I saw a bow quiver someone had on here where the broadhead end of the quiver was one piece leather broadhead covers...that probably doesn't make much sense now that I re-read it.

I hunt with a two arrow bow quiver I made.  I used copper rivets instead of stitching to keep the broadheads from cutting thru the top. I used a two slot rubber arrow holder for the bottom piece.  It weighs nothing and does not impact how my bow shoots.

I made a couple.. They are kind of patchwork where I took part off of some old ones that I "ended up with" from something or other. I'll try to take a pic Friday. Nothing fancy for sure and still works in progress.

I built the hood out of fiberglass but used parts from several other quivers to make this 5 arrow one.
