The Stuff I Made

Well, I finally finished my quiver last night, bringing me to a finished setup for now.  I'm not near the craftsman as many are on this site, but for my first time on all of it, I think it turned out ok.


Bow, Stringer, Armguard, Quiver (and disregard the way the tiller looks on the bow...it actually does shoot ok):




Stringer has some of that no-slip rubbery stuff for under a plastic cutting board sewed onto the square part so it grips the fiberglass better




Quiver started out as a free tube from a local window tinting shop:




And ended up being wrapped with an old leather coat my wife didn't wear anymore and dyed.  Finished off with 1/8" insulation tape inside for quiet and a bunch of 550 cord I had sitting around for a strap.  The arrows were a great find off c's list and I fletched them with a friend's jig and some feathers he gave me.




Armguard's not all that great, but it does the job.




Bow completed with a bear hair rest and beaver balls.  63# @ 28.5", 64" nock to nock




For any of you out there that think this stuff is too hard, trust me-if I can do it, you most certainly can, too  :) .

Well done.   :thumbsup:  Making your own stuff is a lot of fun and most times it will serve your purposes very well.If it don't, we build something else.   :D

Looks awesome! I especially like the quiver...I do hope your wife is the one who decided that she no longer wore the coat  ;)

great job on all of it, be careful you will find yourself staring at it when you should be watching for deer.  :thumbsup:

Well done mate. Something to be proud of.
