Title: Back quiver
Post by: Rabbit Stew on September 20, 2007, 06:00:00 PM
Alright well recently i picked up a relly nice 50$ back quiver at the store but ive come across a problem. I plan on using this for hunting but heres no way for my arrows to stay put in the quiver. I don't want two broadhead tipped arrows rattling around cutting each other and falling out posing a danger. Anyone have an suggestions to fix this problem? Also its just a tube quiver no individual arrow slots or anything

I don't understand what the problem is..... Could you please be more specific?????

I've used the same backquiver for hunting for many years now without any problems. I backquiver is just a big leather tube that holds arrows.....The "secret" to it holding the arrows securely,is that the quiver should "flatten" in the middle,to prevent your arrows from rattling around or falling out.

I can put on my backquiver,load it with 6-12 arrows,then bend over and pick up a quarter off the floor without any of them falling out.

Good back quivers should be soft enough and worn tight enough that the arrows won't spill out when you bend over to tie your shoes or retrieve a shot arrow from the ground.
 If yer worried about the BH's cutting where they shouldn't you may need some BH booties for on the end of yer arras. I just stick a stiff piece of packing foam ( not styrofoam) in the bottom and let 'em jab into that.

Hey Chuck! I didn't think you could bend that far. But, for a quarter you would do almost anything...  ;)  ...

I have one of 3 rivers broadhead caddy. That works good.

If you put cardboard tubes in the quiver, you defeat the back quiver's ability to "grasp" the arrows and keep them quiet and from falling out. At least that is how I use mine.

Put half a bow of oat meal in the bottom of your quiver.  It works for me.

use some native tree limbs stuffed into the 'tube' with leaves intact.

holds aeroz securely and aids in masking odors, too.
