Bow quivers

[Dan bree]

I was just thinking  . Who invented the bow quiver?  Was it bear

Several years ago we bought dies from a guy to make a 3 arrow quiver. Several years later someone came by our booth and said that he had made the first one of that type. Finding out that he still had it, I decided to bargain with him for it. It was a very primitive looking quiver and looked nothing like what we make now. It does look like it belongs in a museum, but I'm sure that there were lots of quivers made before it was made.

My guess is probably Fred Bear.

Fred Bear was the first to patent it.

Wasn't it Fred's spring arm quiver? Or seems the first bow quivers did not have a broadhead cover and they were totally exposed.  I'm getting too old to remember these things.

How about this one?  Not the first, but probably one of the most dangerous!

Remember using those kwikee bow quivers. Man your right those were dangerous . They sold a hood  but never used it.

Is that a Pearson knuckle takedown  in the pic dragon heart  like the like old school silencers  and no glove. Good stuff

[stagetek]

I would have to guess Fred Bear.

actually the kwikee kwiver came out in 1956, fred bears leather top quiver came out around the same time but not for sale until a little later. bear and kwikee kwiver worked together for a while whenever bear started selling their plastic ones, rich pyle

Dragon heart, I still have a couple sets of those in a drawer somewhere.  When my daughters were very young and rough housing in the back of my Scout one got a pretty bad cut on the arm!  She is 40 now and still has the scar.  Thereafter our broad heads had a piece of foam pressed onto them.

This fall I saw a lower piece of bow quiver fly over the corner of the corn field I was watching. A bit later a kid toting arrows in one hand a compound in the other came around and stomped on it, then he picked up and threw it again. That corn is still standing, but the other day while turkey hunting there, I found that chunk of bow quiver three rows in.
I reported my case with those brown cedar eating death clamps on Dan's other thread.

I have one in mint condition in my archery drawer.  Never used it!  Need to donate it to a museum.
