Title: New Quiver
Post by: KEverts on October 06, 2011, 08:45:00 PM
Just wanted share my new quiver and get good feedback from the TradGang. I've always liked the possible bags with the otter tail flap and wanted to try to incorporate this look into a bowhunting possibles bag with quiver. The stitching took much longer than I thought. It has several pockets inside to accommodate all of the necessities (I also made sure it would work when hunting with other Trad tools).  I just got her finished and have only had time to field test her once. I was really afraid of fighting with the arrows and brush but it really did pretty well. I wasn't in no really thick areas but I'm not sure there is a perfect fit when it comes to the really thick areas.

That is a very nice setup and just the kind of Possibles bag I wish I could make...Is the holdster on the strap for a mag lite? Congratulations on a very nice job..Any pics of the inside?
 Thanks for posting, Keefer's <><

Great job!

Beautiful piece of work. My fingers get worn out sewing a knife sheath. I can appreciate how long all that stitching took. End product was worth it, regardless of how long it took. You're not going to find one like it hanging on the rack in any store. Or, if you did it would be WAY beyond expensive!

You guys are too much...I don't know why the Lord has given me some of the abilities he has. The glory goes to him.

I was actually wanting some pointers on how to make it better. Trad folks can be the most finicky when it comes to their equipment and I'm no exception. I never seem to be all out pleased with my creations.

Keefer, Here is the pic of the inside you requested. Kinda hard to get a really good view. As for the pocket on the strap..it is actually for a ball starter but thanks for the idea. It does work for the mini mag as well.

Would you make any to sell? I like the place for the hawk.

El gran J,
No, I really haven't thought of making them to sell. For one, I'm not sure folks would be willing to pay the price I would have to charge. I hand stitch everything I do which makes it pretty labor intense. Even though stitches that are done by hand are much stronger than those done by machines, folks just don't want to spend the extra cost involved.  I have sold other items but I'm sure this forum is not the place to discuss.

As for the Tomahawk... it's funny how that worked out. When I got the possibles bag done I suited up with all my gear and had no clue how I was going to carry the hawk without it getting in the way. This just happened to be the best place I could find and it happened to work out quite well. I just need to design a better sheath so I can get it in and out better.

Thanks again to all for the kind words.

Looks great, very nice job and I appreciate how much time goes into them! What type of hide is on the flap? Looks kinda "brindle" colored...I like it!

YORNOC,
The flap is indeed brindle. It's hair on cow hide. I check the scrap bin every time I'm in Tandys for the brindle. The cost is way to high for the entire hide for me. It's not that common to find it in the scrap bins but I normally buy up any pieces of good size when I do find it.

I also make a pocket quiver with a detachable mini possibles bag that can be used with or without the pocket quiver portion. I plan to make one with the brindle flap as well then I'll have a matching 3D shoot model of my hunting rig.

This is a beautiful useful bag and quiver. If you are asking for sugestions I offer this one;
Make the broadhead quiver 1" longer in case you feel down for a arrow and stick your finger into a broadhead.
Also, I would make it to hold up to 6 arrows. Thanks, Ken

I like it alot!  I have thought of this type of arrangement, but yours is much micer than I had thought out.
where do you get the woven strapping material?  Hawk placement is very nice.

I knew someone would ask about the strap. I googled the net for the material and really couldn't find anything I was comfortable ordering. So I hit the thrift stores... the strap is simply made of one of those woven belts you see worn with the khaki shorts. I was surprised how many of these you can find brand new. I think I paid $1.99 for it and got two very nice brass D-rings as well. Looks like one more thing I'll have my eyes out for in the thrift stores.
