Show me your quiver

[bobnewboy]

Here is one I quickly made, to change from a back quiver to a side quiver.



Cheers, Bob

my quiver is a back quiver. I mostly just shoot in my back yard.  By making it custom to my back, I don't have some of the problems of not reaching the arrows, or having them rattle around too much.  The leather work is pretty simple, really.  I just cut in the pattern and used a single stamping tool to highlight.  stain and seal

Gray Fox Quiver with Wapum Beads on Strap
Large Basket Quiver
Bark Quiver with cordage strap
Red Fox Quiver
Bamboo Belt Quiver
Basket Quiver with Brain Tan strap
Leather Quiver trimmed with Bear hide

That basket quiver on the right looks very much like the quiver I got from Dino's wifey. Its by far my favorite for bunny hunting and roving.

She made mine also.

Dino's wife makes a great quiver!

Don't get much simpler than mine. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I works for me. Really should make a nicer strap for it and I actually liked it better fur in. It is just a tanned mink with a toggle to hold my finger tab. Really interested to see everyone else's though

I think that style with the forward facing arrows (vs the field quiver) is actually better for speed shooting, thus comfort, so I like it more now. I really like that quiver. Looks nice.
Do you find that it moves around a lot or no?

[bjrogg]

Loon I actually had one last year that was really just fur on rawhide mink. It was put up just like I would sell it to a fur buyer. I really liked that one better. The rawhide was stiffer and the fur in really did a nice job of keeping the arrows quite. I could tip it upside down and arrows wouldn't fall out. I really do need to work on a strap. It does move around when I walk some from your leg bumping it. Nothing to serious unless you're running. It is very nice for selecting arrows quickly and you can see which ones you have to pick from. I really haven't gone through the thick brush yet to see how it maneuvers, I would imagine it could snag on branches. Really when I hunted last year mostly I just held it in my bow hand between back of bow and my fingers. When I got to my spot I either hung or set it somewhere I could easily get another arrow. It is very light and compact and I love having my finger tab on its toggle. I actually had a stone blade knife on the one I hunted with last year.

Here are two fur ones I use. 
First is a badger fur back quiver.  This is the one I had at Marshall.  It holds a lot of arrows. I need to shorten the strap just a bit more to make reaching the arrows easier.

Second is a reindeer fur quiver, with the fur in.  It holds the arrows very securely, no rattling, and is cooler (not as hot) than with the fur out.  There is a stiffening rod sewn into the side.

I'm hoping to make a quiver out of the mink fur I got in trade with BJ at Marshall.
Can't decide hair in or out......like it both ways
Thanks again BJ

Maybe you got another 500 lb tree stand you want to trade next year Bill so you can do one both ways.lol. Most people like the looks of fur out better and it still functions well. I put a little stuffing from a old chair it the bottom. I like the look both way, but prefer the leather out.
Kyle I like the looks of that Riendeer fur in. Nice

Bill did you ever make that bobcat or yote quiver you were talking about? I cant remember which it was

[Danzn Bar]

Hey bubby
Nope the bobcat skin didn't turn out like I was expecting.  I found out I'm not a Tanner. I think I will still be able to use it though.  Just needs some work

[lebhuntfish]

Sweet Quivers!
One question though.  Are all of you guys fur pelt type quivers tanned? Or does it matter?

Patrick

[ksnow]

I would definitely recommend tanned, to keep the bugs out of them.  Any grease left in a raw, but dried skin will attract all sorts of little wee-beasties.  Soft hides can be glued with contact cement to a heavier foundation to give the quiver more body. Deer, reindeer, etc have more structure to the hide than say fox, coon or mink.
