Back quivers and broadheads

[Red Beastmaster]

The cutting edges of broadheads can't possibly contact each other while riding in a backquiver.

Roll a bundle of several arrows between your hands. See, the cutting edges never touch.

With a properly constructed, medium stiffness, quiver, like shown above, there is no need to put anything inside.

I have broadheads that have been in my quiver for almost 3 years now & they are still sharp. These are extra arrows that I carry every time I'm out with my quiver. I always want a few broadheads with me. I take my hunting arrows out after each season, but the everyday broadheads stay sharp. If I were going primarally to hunt, I'd touch them up, but it wouldn't take much.

TwoFor...hit the nail on the head with his photos. I can do the same with either of my quivers...the heavy Schulz latigo or softer Creger. Once they conform properly on your back, no arrow rattle and your broad heads should never get dull.

Nice pics two4.  Good looking quiver, did you make it yourself?

I use a back quiver with foam in the bottom and I use a black widow "Ace in the Hole quiver that I use on my longbow. It holds one two blade broadhead. It seems that I need less movement to reach the arrow this way then reaching over my shoulder for an arrow from the quiver. Seems to work for me.

That is the standard Howard Hill quiver. Bought from HHA a couple years ago.

All of the Quivers that I make have a Double layered Bottom....
   Broadheads and Back Quivers have been used together for many a year....

thanks two4.  Is yours the soft or stiff leather?  I'm thinking about buying the soft HH quiver in the 22" length.

I haven't used a back quiver much but just bought a Northern Mist longbow and the bow quiver just doesn't look right.

Mike, I just looked at your web page.  Some great looking quivers.

Stiff.....but it is pretty soft in the middle by the time I am done breaking it......

For anyone wanting a nice quiver I really recommend Mike's leather gear. I use a quiver I built myself, & one day while we were shooting together Mike told me you ought to let me fix that quiver.

Mike fixed my quiver so it was more user friendly & looks better too. I've got several of his leather products & I especially like his armguards/bracers. They are easy to put on & take off & stay in place.

Mike & I shot together for several years till I moved out of the area & still corrispond now & then. I'm happy to see he's still in business.

Give his products a try I'm sure you'll like them.
 Ok commercial over, Mike is a great guy & I'm proud to call him friend.

I just got my new 22" soft quiver from Hill Archery.  The lefty quiver I had was short for me and needed a new employer with smaller shoulders. Three day delivery, just right blend of softness and shape. It worked perfect right out of the box, no treatment or break in needed.

I use a Hill style back quiver with a cross strap. there is a double layer of leather and then a thick wool fleece in the bottom. It also has a wool fleece around the top of the quiver and on the strap. Works great.
