Great Northern Quiver Tip - Thanks!

[WhitetailHtr]

After much deliberation, I purchased a Great Northern strap-on quiver (lots of ++ evaluations here) for my Brackenbury recurve.  But when I installed it,  the way it sat on my bow crowded my bow hand with minimal side clearance, and I couldn't see how I would ever get an arrow out of the two inside grippers in field conditions either.

I just didn't like the feel of the quiver tight to the riser, and my shooting suffered, too.  It made my bow feel "awkward", and I've been shooting it for 24 years!

Somewhere on this fine site, I read about bending the wire "tabs" (contact points) to adjust the quiver.  Well, I carefully bent my two tabs so that they now sit on the side, instead of the front, of the riser.  This increased the distance that the quiver sits out from the riser. I now have excellent clearance for my hand, am able to easily access the two inside arrows, and my shooting to like it better, too.

Whomever suggested this, thanks to you, Buddy!

I have a question, if bending the lower arm, does it lay flat on the belly side of the Lower Limb?

I'm thinking of trying it for one of my Longbows...

[WhitetailHtr]

I'm using it on a recurve, but it (both wire arms) now sits on the SIDE of the riser (opposite the shelf).  If it sits on the belly side of the lower limb, it moves the arrows back, but not out and away from the bow hand.

I wanted to move my quiver out and away from my bow hand.  I guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

That would be Kelly Petersen that came up with that modification.
