Building a bow quiver?
« on: September 07, 2009, 06:23:22 pm »
Can someone help me find instructions on building a bow quiver? I can't find any, but I've seen a few archers here and there who made their own.

Well, my brother and I are having at it! We have a hood idea, bottom piece planned, and now we're jsut waiting on small metal clips.

Can someone post pictures of ANY bow quiver where it attachs to the limbs?

Kegan, You'll want it attached at a non-bending section near the handle. If it is where a limb bends it will restrict the shooting ability.

Ky- the page won't come up for some reason?

Pat- I was planing on attaching right where the fades end bascially. I was looking for some pictures of how the quiver straps onto the bow.

Huh...it's a pdf so maybe that's why its not coming up....if you go to google and search "Fritz Brown's bow quiver" it should pop up...that's where i found it.

Well...im not sure how he get's his straps to work but all he has are velcro straps that he can wrap around the bow....then on another one he has acouple leather straps (they look like leather shoe strings) that he tied around the bow....idk how they would stay where you want them though.

I did a bow quiver- hideous thing, didn't work that well- with velcor straps and ductape. Worked great top hold it on, but I was using aluminum which bent slightly around the limbs as the straps pulled tight. Now, I don't want to disgrace this thing with duct tape straps or a hideous aluminum attachement.

I think I might have a bit of buckskin though for the strap :)
