I know guys have talked about using O rings on their quivers for axis shafts. Can someone explain how to do this? Seems silly but I'm not sure how this works. Thanks guys.
Not familiar with the axis shafts. If they are smaller the orings or rubber bands are wrapped around the grippers woven in and out to effectively make the arrow slot smaller.
Use as many and as large of rubber bands as needed.
Depending of the quiver a new rubber gripper may be available.
Just cut 1/4" slices off a small bicycle inner tube and wrap them from one slot to the next. My quiver slots had been opened up to grip 5/16 diameter aluminums and even a bit larger. But I wanted to use Full Metal Jackets in Africa this summer, and the bike tube modification held them extremely well.
Just put some rubber bands around the gripper part. I can send pics to your phone if you want Jon??
Hardware stores sell rubber tubes in different sizes that shrink when heated with a candle flame. They work great. Slide them over one or both sides of the shaft holder on your quiver and then slightly heat and they shrink nice and tight. I used them on my Selway quiver.
Sorry it took a while to get to taking a picture. This is on an old Bear 8 arrow gripper. I wrap the rubber bands under two of the bicycle bands on the 5 arrow side as it so as to get more gripping on the "inside" holes. I left one band off to show that.

Thunderhorn makes what they call snuggers that fit perfectly on both their quivers and Selways. They are $3 for 6 but shipping bumps that up a ways.
The Great Northern Sidekick that I use simply has a gripper base that is sized specifically for the Axis/MFX shafts. You can choose 2 other shaft size bases to accomodate a full range of available shafts.

The GFA quiver will handle Axis shafts with no modification, I use them. Order the "small" gripper.

Thank you guys.
