quivers for knapped heads
« on: February 12, 2010, 02:27:12 pm »
How about posting some pictures of the quiver styles that you use to carry your arrows with knapped heads while hunting.  I have uses a cat quiver but want to make something more traditional.

I use a small beaverskin quiver that a friend of mine gave me.  I wrap the points with toilet paper, then wrap them with rubber bands to keep the padding on them.  I don't take the paper off until I'm in my ambush point and ready to hunt.  I'm pretty anal about protecting the edges of my stone points.....

Just sew some some leather together and make a slide on sheath. When you pull em out your leather sheath will drop of into the quiver.  I use them for my steel heads.  Scott

 I use a side stalker style quiver. I just put some Spanish Moss in the bottom to protect the points.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Woven River Cane quiver made by Krista Hiolbrook.  Put a leather cup in the bottom to keep the tips from working through.  I am going to try the Spanish Moss, it has got to beat a handful of oats in the cup.  Bill

 Bill, I also put some in the top to keep the arrows from rattling around.

I case skinned a coyote hide, tanned it and sewed up the holes. Then took a piece of tanned fur-on leather and tacked it to a circular piece of wood creating a cushion of sorts. This was tacked to the bottom of the casing and voila! The hair adds cushion and the tanned skin will not damage points. I also wrapped the top in for a few inches to create fur lined rim. It keeps the arrows from rattling. Its not near as pretty as some I've seen on here, but very functional.

  I use the High Noon Hunter, also. It is the best all around quiver I've ever used.
