Bow mounted side quiver

[superdav95]

I’ve been wanting to order a new side mounted quiver but can’t get one in on time for deer season 1st October is closing in fast.  My go to quiver busted so I needed to make my own.  This is a copy of sorts of the quiver I wanted to order.  It will work for deer season.  I used bamboo strip that I steam bent to the shape I wanted.  I repurposed an old quickie quiver that I bolted and glued to each end to.  I wrapped the hood with some old brown couch leather I scavenged.  The mounting hardware I repurposed from my old one that broke.  I was able to salvage the straps and rubber side saddles.  Everything else I had to remake.  Let me know what you think. 


Cheers

Very nice bow quiver. Well done.

Thankyou sir

Just keep that one for good. Looks "store bought." Nice work.

Looks good to me. Personally I won’t buy nothing if I can gizmo something myself

After looking at that one, I would also be happy with it. No need to buy another one. Job well done.

Thanks fellas.  I’m pretty happy with it too.  I took my time with this build as the one I wanted (creek walker bell quiver) I liked the look of so I copied as best I could on my own.   In my opinion it looked worth the $165 that creek walker was asking.  I would have gladly paid this but they advised were a couple weeks behind on orders.  Darn. The steam bending the strip of bamboo was a challenge to get right.  If I was to do it again I was do up a glue up instead with laminate of thin strips like a plywood of sorts formed with the s curve.   The bamboo worked in the end and heat tempered it after steam bending to hold its strength.  It’s nice and lite weight too.  I made this to fit my bamboo bows if I ever wanted it mounted for a hunt.  A little unorthodox I know for bamboo bows. .  Can’t wait to us I this season!   

Cheers.

Well done It looks good from here - much better feeling than wasting 165 bucks Especially because most 'store bought' stuff can easily be improved on. $165 sounds like an awful lot of money for a bow quiver....

Well done.

Looks good!
Here are some of mine: http://primitive-bows.com/bow-quiver/
The underpart is the the same of all, but the heads are different for different points

That’s great. It’s always better make one yourself any way. 

[superdav95]

Thanks guys!

 Simson,  I really like that trade point version of yours.  That real primitive look.  I’m gonna have to steal that idea and make one.   Love that stacked leather idea! 


Here’s a pic of my bending jig for the bamboo.

Looks like it will work - what we used to call a "jerryrig" or a "Rube Goldberg"!  If it works for you it is good to go!  Nice job!

I like the bow quiver. Very nice and an inspiring work.

I've made a couple versions of a bow quiver. I've hunted with a quiver on my bow as long as I can remember, but shooting self bows I really like the feel of a bare bow. I took the quiver off my bow and decided to try a side quiver this year. We'll see how that goes. I might love it and I might have the bow quiver back on for day 2.
