I felt my leather side quiver wasn`t doing enough to protect my arrows, both during transport in my car and out hunting in the elements. I was tired of having a soaking wet quiver with soaking wet fletchings - so I built this. PVC, PVC ends, gorilla tape, leather,a rifle strap and a gardening knee pad for the foam in the bottom.
When testing whether or not I could take the arrows out easily, I did not have the top on, so it ended up about an inch too short, so I had to make that little dip in what was a rectangular cutout, in order to get my broadheads out. If it`s raining, I simply carry it on the other side, and the arrow window is down, protected from the rain. Only problem is quieting the fletchings as I take the arrow out - not really meant as a stalking quiver though. For that I`ll probably use my leather side quiver. This is more of a `sitting in a rainy ground blind` quiver.
If you think I can impove on it in any way, let me know for version 2.0.

Looks great. Should make a good hunting quiver. If you lined your cut out area with some rabbit fur or something would that make it any quieter?

Good goin'!

Maybe the fletching area as well, most of the noise seems to be from the fletchings when I push the arrow up a touch to remove it from the quiver. The feathers being pushed in their opposite directions.
