Title: Just in Time, Brand New from Farr West Leather
Post by: tim roberts on March 30, 2014, 01:51:00 PM
This has been almost 3 years in the works, and is ready just in time for spring and summer, bowfishing!
Farr West Leather, proudly presents, "Fish Lipps", the bowfishing quiver!

The Fish Lipps, bowfishing quiver, is (to the best of my knowledge) the first quiver specifically designed for bowfishing. These first ones are being made on a 3-d printer, while I am working up to full injection molding production.  They are made from tough ABS plastic, and attach to your bow with modified Great Northern Straps. This quiver is fully adjustable to fit most bows used for bowfishing, and the wide hood design fits most all commercially manufactured fish heads.
Will get some price information posted on the classifieds page later, as I am about to get on a plane.
Thanks,

Looks like a great idea! Saw this in Rob's thread the other day.

The question I have is this; can the retriever reel be wound (reel line into the bottle) with an arrow in the quiver? If so, that thing would be the perfect addition to any bowfishing rig!

Yessir it can. The quiver puts your arrow about 2-1/2" away from the side of your riser, allowing plenty of room.

Bisch,
Unfortunately, this is a one/single arrow quiver, I imagine it won't be long and I'll have a quiver that will pack a spare.  If you were to use this quiver as one to hold a spare arrow, you could do it, but reeling in a fish with an arrow in the quiver would be a bit of a chore.  Will work on getting a few more pictures posted in the next couple of days.
Thanks,

Way cool. It's nice to see how 3D printing makes small runs possible without the mold investment.

Now I've got to find some fish to shoot at.
