Home made quiver w pics

[briarjumper12]

Here is tube quiver I put together. Tube from Frank. Camo material from old camo clothes. Black leather from an old purse. Sowed with braided fishing line. Straps and buckles from wal-mart. Got two more tubes and supplies ready for the other two when I get time. Suggestions for improvements welcome.

I like how that quiver turned out. I've been wanting to make one myself but I can't find a plastic tube that's light enough.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find your tube?

Thanks for kind words gentlemen.
I found the tubes from a Member here, Frank is his forum name. I think the thread is still in the classifieds, quiver section.

That looks great and above all very practical    

Only improvement i could think off would be a little sidepocket. This could be done by using an old trouser leg as the covering and arranging the trousers side pocket to sit on the top third of the quiver, perhaps.

John Strunk showed me how to make a "tube quiver" years ago.  He taught me to use the plastic tree cover tubes that you see protecting trees.  They are made of a "verigated" plastic (veins running up the length of the tube)  which makes the tube strong enough not to bend in the center but still flexible.  Check any forester's supply site and you can buy the stuff in 4' lengths and various diameters fairly cheaply.  Strongest and lightest plastic tubing you can find.

Check out the local office max or staples for "document holders" they are light plastic tubes.

I thought of a pocket as well.  I may try to incorparate that into the next one.

Excellent idea!  Hadn't thought of that and I even work for the Division of Forestry. Doh!

I think you pretty much nailed it bro.  God Bless

from your pictures it appears that there is not much depth in the bottom between the opening and where your arrow heads rest.  I did the same thing when I built my first one and it made it easier for the arrows to fall out if they shifted and also they have a tendency to fall out of the hole when reloading the quiver if your pocket is not deep enough,  just food for thought. I had the next one made out of leather after I had worked the bugs out and it is about a three or four inch depth to the bottom from the opening.  This eliminated the aforementioned issues.  Good luck in all your endeavors,  your craftsmanship is very nice.

NICE Quiver    You will enjoy this one

very, very nice.

i like my HH style backquiver, but i recognize it has drawbacks.

that's just flat excellent work.

the fact that you made it out of odds and ends only enhances my admiration.

use it up, wear it out.  make it do, or do without.

very well done, sir.

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. I really appreciate it.
Fudd, on my first one, I made the bottom of the pocket to high. I haven't got this one out in the field yet and you are right, I may have indeed made it to low. In preliminary testing around the house I have had no trouble with the arrows coming out but September will tell the tale.

I really like it

[briarjumper12]

Thanks Swamper!

Does it just have a leather bottom or is there something harder to keep the broadheads from cutting through the bottom.

Nice job!
