Been looking at getting a back quiver. Read a lot on doing a search. My question is how do you determine what length of quiver body to get.

I'm in the same boat as you.  I want one but I have 28" arrows and don't know what size quiver would work.  I'm thinking 6-7" shorter than arrow but not sure.

Anyone?
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

Most are about 22" long. Unless you shoot REALLY short arrows, This will probly be fine. Most people figure about 6-8 inches shorter than thier arrows.

Just one old woodchucker's thoughts.....
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

My John Schulz is 20" long, 8" wide at the top. My Creger is 20.5" long, 8" wide at the top. My arrow length is 28.5" minus the broadheads. I have about 8" of arrow hanging out to grab on.

My American Leathers (Schulz) is 22.5 long. Some folks want their fletching to clear the top of the quiver.You just need to determine your own arrow length, where your fletching is and make, buy or order the length quiver that will work for you.

My quiver is 22 1/2" long and I shoot 29" arrows.  This works for me.

It also depends on how you want the arrows to rest and how you want to draw them. The strap placement can play into it also. I find I like the top strap centered on the quiver about 3" from the lip. I like the bottom connection to be on the right (top) side on the back (my back) flat portion of the edge curve of the main body and about 3" from the bottom edge.

Some like to top strap to connect just like to bottom which translated closer to the rounded edge of the body. This causes arrows to lay low, like Schulz and Hill did. I ain't that flexible so I need the arrows to be higher, i.e. closer to my head.

Bud - I've always liked the look of your quivers, including the way they ride on the back - any chance we can get a pic of the strap set up on one, as you're describing?

I was off on my recollection of the distance from top/bottom. Looks like roughly 2 inches. This quiver was built earlier this year and has fast become my go-to quiver.

Contact Craig at Howard Hill Archery. He sells a great back quiver and will happy to walk you through the process of determining your needs. If Craig is not available ask to speak with Jason, Craig's son. Good luck and "Keep"Um Sharp".  :campfire:

Fred Asbell did a good article on Back Quivers in the latest TradBow Hunter Mag.
The most informative point for me in that article was the fact that you had to learn to pull arrows out by the nock. And the various lengths of the quiver preferred by several other archers.

It's funny, but while I consider a GFA type quiver perfect for deer hunting, I have become infatuated with back quivers lately. I have been using them for all my small game, stumping, and 3D shooting.

I saw one at Compton yesterday made from water buffalo hide, and I am kicking myself for not buying it. Soooo many great leather workers on here, I amamazed at some of the work guys are doing just as a hobby.

I use and sell this one made by Mikes Archery Leather:



At this stage in my life, I am using a back quiver unless I am hunting with broadheads (and that is just me, I know tons of guys on here use nothing but)

Overspined

20-23" deep is common. 20-22" more so.  Strap placement is key for adjustment.  I have a friend where the fletch are partly inside the quiver and I think this makes it even quieter, but I haven't tried it yet.
