Title: New Hip Quiver And Set Of Arrows
Post by: arachnid on April 20, 2015, 08:31:31 am: First time I`m posting something other then a bow...
I`m still not that skilled with leather nor in arrow making, but I just finished this
yesterday and thought to share it with you guys and hear some of the pro`s opinion.

Quiver is made of leather I stripped from and old sofa :laugh:.... stitched with leather
straps I cut from the same piece. The design is very simple and basic, but seems to work fine.
The drew the design with promarkers.

The arrows are Beech dowels (still using it, until I get the hang of bamboo shafts) , 85gr target point and green turkey feathers fletching. I painted the shaft white so
It`ll be easier to spot it on the ground and grass (when I miss... ;D)

Hope you like it... any criticism would be welcome.
