Hey guys,
I wanted to share with everyone my recent experience in purchasing a leather back quiver for my daughter and me from Mike at MAL.
I ordered the quivers from his website and decided to go with the medium for me and the youth for my daughter. The process for ordering was super simple. Mike sent me an email confirming my order. I mentioned that we would like to have something dark but would be happy with whatever he has available.
Mike was on top of the communication. He let me know he had a few arm guard orders ahead of mine and sent me an email when they shipped and when I should expect them. They arrived when he said they would.
I was really blown away by how amazing they looked. the craftsmanship was off the chart. My daughter was really happy that our quivers matched and so was I. He exceeded our expectations for sure.
The leather is really soft and feels great to the touch. I loaded up 8 arrows, put on the quiver and bent over to touch my toes. I don't even think the arrows moved. The strap is very comfortable and easy to adjust. He put a few extra holes in my daughters so it will grow with her. I thought that was a really nice touch.
We grabbed our bows and took to the backyard for a quick shooting session. Arrows pull easily and the opening is wide enough for the arrows to be easily returned without feeling like they're being swallowed up.
For the money, I think these quivers are a terrific value. If you're in the market for a leather back quiver, I don't think you're gonna find a better value than MAL.
Thank you Mike for your craftsmanship, communication and service to our country.

I have one also and both the maker and quiver are top quality
I received my quiver from Mike about 3 weeks ago,and I couldn't be happier.Everything you said about Mike and his quivers are spot on.
I purchased the same combo years ago from Mike for myself and my son. Top quality man and quiver.
Had mine for over 10 years, still in perfect shape, with great character to the leather. They're a gem.

I too have been very happy with my medium quiver
I have one of Mike's medium quivers. Couldn't be any happier. Top-notch craftsmanship.
Welllllll... There's gonna be no living with him now after all these glowing reviews. (Even if I feel the same way about the man and his leather gear) ;)
Got that right Mike....
Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I enjoyed making the Quivers for you.
Beautiful quivers, bows too.
Mike is a top guy who I gladly call friend and brother in arms! I only use M.A.L. arm guards, arrow holster and his back quiver is one that will never leave my archery staple. :thumbsup:
