Field carrier for arrows with broadheads

[Elgatof]

Hi, I am new to the forum, so apologies if this topic has already been talked about. I am looking to a way to carry several arrows on a carrier strapped to my pack while on the field all day. I am not a big fan of multi-arrow quivers, I want my bow to be as light as possible, so I have a 2-arrow quiver for a main-plus-follow up. Thought is if I don't hit with two that animal is in the next zip code. Still, for a long day in the field, I would like a way to carry more arrows in a carrier I can strap or insert in my pack.

I think I know what your looking for, not a quiver per say but some sort of container? Maybe one of those tube type that Hoyt has and strap it to your pack. I think the length is adjustable as well. Or maybe modify a fishing rod tube? Try looking at 3Rivers site, they are a sponser here, for pics of Hoyt tube. If memory serves me they are not expensive.

I have been able to strap my Safari-tuff side quiver easily to my Eberlestock Blue Widow pack. If the size is an issue, the Duiker is a little smaller.

Another advantage particularly when elk hunting in Colorado and the afternoon rains move in is I can keep my arrows dry.  

When hunting smaller wooded parcels it doesn't matter so much but in the above case I would never head out for say a five day hunt with that few arrows.  But have to say, I have not needed that many arrows so far.  Just my experience.

You can easily make a carrier with 3" thin walled PVC pipe with a foam block in the bottom for broadheads and a removable cap. It will strap right to your backpack for easy carrying. Spray paint it to eliminate the bright white.

I carry mine down to the stand in a MTM. It keeps the broadheads separated and I'm not dulling them by punching them in foam.

If I'm walking around all day with broadhead tipped arrows I use a cat quiver.

MnFn just about covered the advantages of the Safari Tuff. Once you push a broadhead into the foam you can sharpen and it will slide into the same slot with no dulling.

Elatof, you need more than two broadheads with you on the hunt for:

1. misses
2. deflections from unseen sticks
3. falls and breakage
4. wounded and spine shot animals

I've done them all.

Reddoge,

I get it about more than 2 arrows, thats's why I am asking about an extra quiver. My goal is to have as light a bow as possible, while having more arrows with me on the stalk. Thanks for the advice, though, good to know that even all seasoned hunters miss.

I modified an older G5 quiver mount (I think they have a different mount now) to clamp onto one of the straps on my pack.  If I feel I want to carry more than my two arrow quiver I attach the G5 to my pack.

I basically cut out a matching piece of aluminum and tapped it to screw the mount to the bag.

I actually install a Kwikee Kwiver bracket to the top rear of my pack but running two small diameter stainless bolts through the pack fabric with an extra layer of material backing and then nylon lock nuts.

My Kwikee Kwiver attaches and hangs down the back of the pack beautifully and now that Kwikee makes a 6 arrow quiver it is even better.

I also own a Kwikee Sidewinder for attaching the quiver to a belt so the same quiver serves double duty.  

I'm unable to post a pic or would do so.

My Mantis quiver comes in 4 and 6 arrow versions and has D rings so it can also be strapped to a back pack

Gotcha. I misread and thought you were leaving the extra quiver back at camp for spares and only carrying the two on the bow.

[Gray Buffalo]

I have one I made like the Mantis quiver and with all the D rings it can be strapped to anything. When I hunt I only Carrie 3 arrows on my bow. If it's and all day hunt I'll strap that quiver to my day pack. works great and I can carry 2 stump arrows to play at lunch.

Same basic concept except instead of backing with extra fabric I put a matching aluminum plate and tapped it to screw the bracket straight to the aluminum and loc-tite it

I really like the Catquiver II.  Has good capacity and some nice pack space.  They make several models.

[joe munno]

catquiver for me also keeps fletching dry I also strap it to backpack or my climbing tree stand when walking in to hunt

[Ron LaClair]

The Mantis 4 arrow

 

The 6 arrow. Fletch covers are available also

Very nice looking quivers, Ron.  Those things have style!
