[Bear Heart]

I am getting interested in getting a tradition leather backquiver.  Please post pics if you got em with the make and model.

That is a good looking quiver!

I like it although I personaly want a larger quiver that flattens out in the middle.

Thanks.

Ya it doesn't flatten at all lol. I made this one out of very heavy thick saddle leather. I wanted it to be really rigid. I pretty much just rolled the leather into a tube, cut to shape, drilled holes and laced it together with leather thong and latigo. Then I cut out a plug for the bottom to the exact shape of the hole and glued the plug in with ultra heavy duty duty glue. Then I braided the strap and attached it by tying it on at either end. its 100% leather, no snaps or buckles. I do intend on lining the mouth/top with raccoon fur to quiet the arrow rattle. I built it large and rigid to hold alot of arrows. I can get 24 in there with field points. I imagine the fur might reduce that number to 20. To be honest I kind of modeled it after the quiver Legolas carries in Lord of the Rings. His is a rigid tubular design, not the kind that flattens out.

Also I drilled some very small holes about an inch and a half apart all the way around the mouth of the quiver, then I take stretchy cord, also called shock cord, and I used it to make my own home made version of "nock-line". I insert the cord through the hole from the outside, tie a couple overhand knots in the end on the inside and then cut the cord to a guestimated length, and then tie a loop knot in the end. This loop then stretches up over the knock of the arrow and holds it snugly in and against the side of the quiver so they don't rattle or fall out. Theres room for about 8 cords to hold 8 arrows all the way around the mouth of the quiver, but thats plenty for hunting.

This pic shows the "nock line" string loops better. Although there not in use in the pic, I'm sure you can see how it works lol.

Heres a couple I just took with the nock line in use.

Check out Art Vincent's Cedar Ridge Leather Works versions. He's a Sponsor here.
Pricey, but worth every penny in my view. They flatten in the middle, you can bend over and the arrows are held tight.
Art's a great guy and a real artist(bit of an intended pun...).

You can't go wrong with a quality backquiver that is properly broken in.

Howard Hill quiver:

[Bud B.]

I made them all.

I have two made-for-you quivers listed in the St. Jude auction ( 1 and 2 ) if you're interested. I have some in 5/6oz leather up to 7/8ox leather that I have made. All will fold flat on your back with proper break-in. I use the last one in these pics almost exclusively now. It's heavy 7/8oz but flattens against my back nicely to secure arrows while walking or even running.

I don't sell quivers but have listed the two to raise funds for St. Jude.





Kids quiver.

[Lil Okie]

[Danny Rowan]

Here are some of mine.

try to get better picture later....here is one I got a few years ago from our very own Rob DiStefano when he was in his "backquiver" phase of life.  (yes we are thankful that men like Rob and Troy Breeding jump from hobby to hobby with great talent for us to enjoy)

This was on a PBS sponsored hog hunt in Georgia that required me to paddle a few miles up river to the camp.


It is heavy vegetable tanned leather I think....has a nice collar around top with heavy lacing....and a button from antler.  Then it also has a nice accessory pouch that I use for bow strings.  It has a quiver divider using traditional single leather thong...with a heavy strap that uses a brass buckle for adjustment.  I have only really used it three times in all these years so still stiff and not yet broken into my use...but will try to remedy that this year.

1. Mikes Archery Leather and the only one I've kept. It fits perfect!      

2. Twig Archery and the second best one I've had. Should not have gotten rid of it.

This is my roving quiver I made last year.  Took a little while to weave but I like the look and its very functional.
