You should call Ted Fry at Raptor Archery (Sponsor here).  He sells a quiver that is pretty close in design to what Jack Bowers was making.  Good luck.

I have this one Jack made... cant even remember the make... I think its the Hunter.  Very attached to it.

another idea,  you can sling a bow quiver sidequiver style.  We were doing this back in the late 90's before the asbell quiver came to be.   its a slick idea and I swap between my chief and a great northern slung with some 550 cord.   I dont like the rubber on my asbell quiver.  I had to cut to get 23/64 shafts to fit, and its hard as a rock in the cold.  The concept is sound however and I really like my GN slung like this.   It could use a little more capacity for roving/small game purposes though.

I have a jack Bowers and even though I never use it becaue I didn't like how it crunched all my fletching together I doubt I'd ever sell it because they are so rare.

Taj,   Stick a foam plug in the open end.   Cut notches or cut outs along the outer edge to insert arrows and your feather smashing days are over
