What do you line the bottom of your back quiver with?

I tested out my newly (home)made back quiver today. I was very pleased with it, but one of the broadheads was ever so slightly poking through a seam. This was understandable as we were moving through some thick, nasty stiff and contorting in all directions.

I will probably find a thin layer of foam, but thought you guys might have some other ideas.  Or ideas on where to get the best foam.

Any suggestions?

TxAg

My other thought was something stiffer like using an old plastic cutting board and jigsawing out a piece to fit in the bottom. A little glue to stay in place and it might work well.

Neoprene gasket material. You can get it in 8" squares at just about any hardware store, and it's real easy to cut to shape.

sheepskin, or imitation sheepskin (hair on) cushions quite well. Quiet to.

David Mitchell

A piece of carpet cut just a bit larger than the bottom of the quiver so when I wedge it in snuggly the heads don't sneak out through the lacing.  No problems ever with that set up.

this if I'm putting a broadhead in it

I used some fake wool from second hand store for cushin and measured and cut a piece from side of plastic jug underneath to stop broad heads from damaging leather.

I stuffed an old sleeveless t-shirt in the bottom of mine years ago and have never had a poke through.

I use an old mouse pad, the thicker ones. Cut it to shape. Mine has lasted for a number of years now.

Go to the temper pedic bed website and order a sample. then put it in your quiver. the broad heads will be well rested for the hunt. Or any type foam will do(pieces of yoga blocks from walmart)

I used to make quivers and I always lined the bottom with thin foam with sheepskin glued to it. this was cut to fit and glued to the bottom two pieces of leather. You could do it after the build though with no real problem.
The sheepskin helps to keep the arrowheads separated and keep them sharp and quiet. I also put a ruff of sheepskin around the collar of the quiver for quietness.

Had an old timer show me a trick once.  He had me fill the bottom of my quiver with a couple inches of oats.  It kept the arrows off the bottom and didn't let them clank together.

Jeff,
 You  can also  get a Yoga block at Wallyworld  or target   and cut   with whatever ya got to make a nice  bottom  and can insert those heads  in it like most bow quivers hood foam has...You get two blocks for around $9.00  and they are built just like a rinehart 18-1 target...Feels  just like the same material and you will have enougth  to fill in a 3-d vital  area also....You    will  find many uses for your trad gear  with these blocks....

I placed a 1/2" piece of soft foam in the bottom of my Creger just to "open it up" more. I shaped it to the bottom, slightly larger. This will also prevent the broadhead from protruding through. I don't push the head into the foam however because the quiver collapses and there is no arrow rattle.

I double up the leather in the bottom of my quivers, then place a thin layer of foam over it.  Very durable that way and no arrows poke through.

I cover my broadheads with leather covers, so I don't need anything in thequiver.

I read once that Indians in the Southeast used to put Spanish Moss in quivers to protect arrows and keep down noise. I tried it nce for grins and it seems to work.

SURVIVAL I actually use a huge stack of lint from the dryer screen either by itself or on top of shearling already in there and the lint will pack down flat,,,,,, reason for the lint is if I ever need to start a fire the lint goes up with the smallest spark..
