Thinking about getting a backquiver this year.
But how do you keep rain from getting in it?
Is it a concern?
Do you treat the inside with anything?
Buy a catquiver and have everything you need right in your pack and arrows store up underneath stay dry I have one for sale in the classifieds it's in new condition
Punch a drain hole in the bottom. d;^)
If I'm expecting to bowhunt in rain, I use my Catquiver. However I have been caught out there with my backquiver.
First, I always carry a hood to protect the feathers even though I silicone them prior to any hunts. If your backquiver rides properly on your back, it's mostly off to one side so very little if any rain should be a problem.
When I'm in my natural blind or just hiding, I lay the quiver flat on the ground during any rain. Again, don't really see this a problem.

Quiver should lay on your back very similar to this photo

Nice quiver! Who made the one with the outside pocket?
I made a 'hoodie' for my last back quiver. Just a bag of water repellant nylon that slipped over the arrows and mouth of the quiver. Carried one arrow in my bow-hand while traveling.
if i am hunting in the rain i just put a plastic bag over the arrows it is simple and cheap i find the bread bags the best plus ya'll get to eat the bread :campfire: toasted
Muth....that's my Dave Creger. Been using for a good 10 yrs. Quiver behind it is my John Schulz which I retired(new in 1977) and used strictly for roving and small game.

I love it Pat!!!! 2X
Thanks Joe. Looks like it holds the arrows tight. Do they rattle around much?
I never hunt in the rain for a whole bunch of reasons. When I have to (like on out of state hunts) I use the removable plastic hood from an old cheap rain suit.
If I'm hunting in the rain the first problem is my glasses...I can't see anything. LOL
