Make a mock up out of cardboard.  It has to fit you and your arrows (length, quantity, strap length, etc.).

I made one several years ago, very similar to the build along above.  I will have to see if I can find any pictures, or the pattern I made.  I kind of winged it when I made it.  It turned out pretty well, the only disappointing thing is that the heavy leather I used sometimes creaks when it flexes while I am moving.

Am I blind, or where does it tell how to load photos?

I will try to figure out how to post pictures, probably tomorrow, 'cause I have to get an art piece done tonight for a customer that is leaving tomorrow after the Super bowl.
I was browsing this site to take a break while he decided a last detail he wanted on the piece.

I followed that build-along above and it came out fine. I did the bottom a little different and slit and braided the strap to make it a bit more flexible, but the plans are right on.

Use a scrap carpet and use that as your pattern making prototype.  I have a file pocket and skinng knife sewn in mine.
I also used avmetal piece to makebthe top opening a spring- like aperature so i can just drop in Shafts rather than back them in

I have made a couple using kydex that I have used for knife sheaths.  It is a thermoplastic that molds easily when heated to about 200 degrees.  I cover it with thin leather then form it around a 3 inch tube.  I leave the top open so I can slip the arrow in without having to put it in from the top.  Much more convenient .  It works with the Bower's style as well.  The .90 kydex seems to work better as it is a bit stiffer

Well dangit - can't figure this photo bucket thing out!  Hope admin will pull these attempts!

How do you guys get the image to show up instead of the URL for the pic at photo bucket?

Here ya go.

Way I did it was to right click on the image then click "properties" then copy the image code and take it to trad gang to be pasted into the "image" bar.

I have the pattern on paper if you need it

Slickhead, any chance you could post it as a pdf or ??? with a few key measurements shown.  Should be easy from there to ramp it up to a desired size.
