Captain bite your tongue.

That dog is "Trouble with the Truth" aka Liar. He is 3 times World Champion, 4 times Missouri State Champion, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota State Champion on both Squirrel and Coon.

He's two wins away from being Super Grand on the bench.

But better than all that, he's my buddy and they just don't come any more faithful.

God bless,Mudd

Not to spoil your fun, but have you tried it with broadheads yet, Mudd? I found that with a back quiver that close to vertical, my broadheads wanted to grab on the way out. I kept fiddling with the Bear quiver until I found that having it angled across my back, more like Nate Steen does in the pictures posted in another thread allowed me to draw the arrows out more to the side. This both eliminated the drag but also made the quiver bump easier.

I ask because drawing field points over the top of the shoulder like you are was no problem. Part of the problem for me was I have a 28" draw but relatively short arms and less flexibility than I did 40 years ago or so. So dragging my rather longish arrows with broadheads attached over the top didn't work so well.

I'd get them most of the way out, then have to start pulling them down and the broadheads would drag on the back of the quiver. At worst, they kind of hung up. At best, they were kind of noisy. I noticed in your video that you kind of do the same thing with your field points, so I wondered if you would have the same issue.

The one I finally built lays so that the arrows are closer to the point of my shoulder than to my head. Then a slight bump puts the nock in my hand. I let go of the quiver and it drops down a bit, which helps with drawing the arrow out.  

I hope your way keeps working for you, but thought you might want to try things out before you head to the woods.

Mudd great idea,but does it work without the muscle shirt underneath?

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow's effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Thanks for sharing Mudd. Im going to give that a try.

30 Coupe thought I'd have trouble while using broadheads so I tried it.

Here are the results.

Keep in mind that I've only been using this variation a few days.

Great tip.

Mine has a strap that stretches from the O ring back around my right side and attaches to the bottom of the quiver, but I still "chase my tail" sometimes.

By golly, it looks like that will work for you, Mudd! My arms are about one inch too short to bring them over the top like that. I have to start pulling down on the nock before it clears the quiver when I have it that upright. We each have our own set of challenges. Glad you were able to find a way around yours. I solved mine in a different way, but we both got the result we wanted.   :thumbsup:

Great timing on this post, Mudd.  I'm about to start making a back quiver for my 7 yr old to go with his Maddog Pup, both for Christmas.  This little tip will help him out for sure.

Mudd your back quiver idea looks simple and efficient . Good idea for us who are short armed and motion impaired . " Trouble With The Truth " I believe that name pops up twice in my curs pedigree !!! Thanks on both counts .
