bow quiver for selfbows, updates with new heads
« on: November 18, 2012, 10:28:28 am »
 First: I'm searching for solutions for selfmade bow quivers, so every tip is welcome ...

I will show you my attemts, my thought was to make a 2-piece puiver for only three arrows. The upper part (the one for the points) should be replaceable for whatever points are in use. So here the first one for broadheads.

As said the bottom part will be the same for all heads.

I'm not fully satisfied because it is a bit heavy for my taste, here are the pics:























here is a head for target points:

That looks great and very nice job. I've toyed around with putting one on my bows but can't get used to it but yours looks really nice and functional.

I don't usually like the look of bow mounted quivers on a primitive bow, but yours actually goes fine with your bow! Very creative!

I applaud your efforts.  I have two EFA quivers that I removed the velcro straps and replaced with leather straps and snaps.  The EFA hoods wobble or bend when you push a arrow head into the foam.  I wish they were more rigid and I always wanted to do something to them like you have on your field point hood where the connection is made to the bow where its more structural and parallel to the limb instead of a single, rubber point.
So I would replace your cordage with leather straps and snaps.   Two or three small snaps per strap for varying limb thickness as you move the quiver from bow to bow. 
And a strap on the lower shaft holder that you could pull over the arrow shafts so they would not pop out when either in transit in some vehicle or when hunting and going through brush or whatever.

here comes two new heads, one a target and one a trade point head. Let me know your thoughts.

In both are hidden super lodestones, so if the point comes near the head the arrow will be soaked in the tunnel.

here is the trade point head:









and here is another for target points. Its my favorite, it is very small.
