I broke my leg at work a couple weeks ago and will be laid up the next 3 months, plus 6-8 months of rehab. Already going stir crazy. I need to get my 6 and 10 year old girls back quivers. I do have some old leather I might try to make a couple for them. Does anyone have a pattern or recommendation on how to even go about it. ??? Thanks, Scott
What I've done for a cheapnbackquiver for my kids is a 1.5" piece of pvc pipe cut 12" long with a cap. Rig a shoulder sling with 1/2" webbing. You can wrap leather around it and they work pretty well.
As Tatonka mentioned, using PVC or if you can fine one, a tube map case, which is lighter in weight. If you search Youtube you'll find a few tutorials on making tube back quivers from PVC. I made a couple for my grandsons and wrapped them with vinyl fabric.
Check out these duct tape quivers my kids made.

Scale this one down to their size. Knock about 3" off each measurement.

Hi Scott, I have a back quiver kit I got from 3Rivers. I started the project but never got around to finishing it. It can be either right or left hand. I just don't see me getting around to completing it. Maybe you could use it for one of your kids? If so it's yours. Below is a link to the quiver.
If interested send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send it your way. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
