I added the extra layer of leather on the inside and also a layer of carpet on top of that. I'll give it the acid test this weekend, but I don't think anything can get through the seam now.

Thanks again Nate! I appreciate your help.

...I made some, but I don't like them. I also read the article and tried it his way, but you have to push them all in at once. Then, if you take out one arrow, the bootie stays in the quiver. Putting one arrow back in is impossible. When I pull the whole bunch out, the booties usually want to stay in the bottom of the quiver...not worth the hassle!
...
the better thing to do, at least for me, is having each bootie on a leather boot lace leash that's attached to the bottom of the quiver, and when the arrow is pulled out of the quiver the loose fit bootie slips off *outside* of the quiver's mouth and hangs overboard - then it's reasonably easy to reboot the arrow's head for a return back into the quiver.

either that, or *tight* fitting bootie, no leash, and remove by hand - but that can get you in trouble if yer in a hurry, and all that "flagging" motion isn't so good.  

in the long run, perhaps the better back/side quiver is an upside down bow quiver such as an efa totem or asbell, with straps added.  each head is well protected, but there's more effort in removing the arrow.  always about trade-offs, eh?   :dunno:

Thanks, Buddy! It came out pretty well for my first attempt, I think. Now that I believe I have the bottom figured out, I think I'm good to go.

Rob, I'm going to try it a while without the booties. I have a pattern I made for booties for my Deltas that will work. It only requires stitching down one side. I use one as a final stalker. I have it attached to my bow with a piece of stretch cord. I know, leather would be more traditional, but the stretch cord makes it stay where I want it on the bow better.

To the woods in the morning...can't wait!
