My buddy CJ Pearson made me an awesome quiver.  I've wanted one like this for a while now.  It will be perfect for stalking hogs.  I made a couple of slight changes though.  I think I modify everything I buy! :bounce:

I made a strap for the rear like he had made for the front.  I also changed the location of my knife, which John Johnston had made for me.

I like it. Looks rugged & solid. Is this a side/hip quiver?

You wear it over your shoulder and under your drawing arm.  You can also swing it around and wear it like a back quiver if negotiating some thick stuff.  I works really well, but I have to figure out how to stop the squeaks.

I hunted with this quiver a week or so ago, and had to make some improvements.  The rear strap around the quiver squeaked badly.  I couldn't make it quiet and it was driving me crazy in the woods.  The other problem that I found was the opening to draw arrows from was collapsing slightly and it is pretty small to start with.  Drawing an arrow was not too difficult, but drawing a specific arrow was a pain.  I needed a better way to have access to a judo for killing stumps.  This is what I came up with.

First I got rid of the rear strap and sewed on a wing harness type set-up.  It doesn't make any noise, and gave me a great, secure place to locate my knife sheath.  The sheath is sewed in at the rear.



Next I cut one of the piggy backer quiver do hickys in half, and used them as a judo holder.  I secured them with a screw through the doubled leather in each spot.  A dab of super glue gel on the threads makes it very secure.





Next I cut two ipe strips and drilled holes all down the center to lace it to the leather arrow opening.  The strips extend past the hole on each end by about 1 1/2".  Now it stays open and looks pretty cool.



Lastly, I stained the whole quiver a little darker, since it's the only color I had on hand.  I think it's mahogony.  I just made a good quiver into a great quiver.  I'm hunting with it tomorrow, and will let you all know how she does.

I really like the version 2 mods, Marty.  That quiver's really starting to look like a winner to me.
Support the sport!

Just like your bows, they get better each time.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
