Title: Meet "Rambo" My PVC Ghilli Quiver
Post by: LimbLover on September 10, 2011, 07:50:00 PM
I was bored today and since I didn't have any shafts or other archery projects I decided to make a PVC pipe quiver out of 1 1/2" pipe, an old camo shirt, a cheap cloth belt (I need to get a military surplus belt or something olive drab to match), a hunk of leather to make the bottom BH compatible, some glue, and some parachord.

I wrapped it first and then shredded the remainder of the shirt to create the ghilli effect. I wrapped a cheap rattlebag shell over the bottom to waterproof it if I wanted to set it down on the ground.

I was going for a Dual Survival kind of thing.

Added the fur on the inside to quiet it down more. Now all I need is that surplus belt...

Thats a pretty good example of how simple, homemade can be as good....probably better....than something commercial.

Simple is almost ALWAYS better...nice job.

I have some torn up camo pants. I think I may do the same for a simple hunting quiver to carry two or three arrows in.

I can't really justify spending a lot of money on extra stuff right now since money is so tight. that's sure a cheap way to put something practical together without having to drop like $60 for a quiver.
