<P>Made this quiver from some thin PVC drain pipe and a few pieces of hardware from Ace. The straps were originally from some duffle bags. I came up with this because my arrows and fletching got really wet at OJAM. It also helps protect fletchings in the backseat of the truck. It fits me better than the model (I am a lot taller than her).<BR><BR><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/OkKeith/SD530784-1.jpg" align=baseline border=0><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/OkKeith/SD530786-1.jpg" align=baseline border=0><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/OkKeith/SD530787-1.jpg" align=baseline border=0></P>I like a center of the back quiver myself. It keeps things out of my way. I don't have any trouble moving in the woods with this one. It has done well chasing turkey the last few weekends. Hope to get a picture of it along side a turkey this weekend. So far this season they have given me the slip.<BR><BR>OkKeith<BR><BR>
Well... no picture of the newly made quiver with a turkey. We have had so much rain lately, the gobblers must have grown webbed feet and swam off. I was sitting in my hunting spot and watched about 30 teal swimming around in the middle of the wheat field. VERY WET to say the least.<BR><BR>Oh well. Three weeks and counting until squirrel season starts, and the fishing is just starting to get good. I filled a 5 gal. bucket with sand bass (fly rod caught, not bow shot). They will be good on the grill!<BR><BR>Hope some of ya'll had a better turkey season than I did. Since I have committed to getting one with self bow and wood arrows 2 years ago, I haven't got one yet! I have had several within shotgun range, but not arrow range. Before I decided to get one with a bow, I usually managed to get at least two each year. Tough to stick with it. Maybe next year.<BR><BR>OkKeith<BR>
<P>Yeah, that's a great system, always wanted to make one. With the 3" pvc drain pipe it would be light and strong, as well as water proof. Did you line the insides at all. The original instructions suggsted lining it with something to keep it from making that hollow tube sound when you bump it or when the arrows rattle. How many arrows can you fit in it comfortably?</P>
Spider,<BR><BR>I did put some 2mm sticky back foam (from my flytying supplies) from the top down about half way. Since this picture was taken I have shortened the tube from the top about 2 and 3/4 inches. I left it plenty long when I made it, to make sure I could get the arrows out. The length I removed was just my over estimation of how much room i would need.<BR><BR>I can carry 8 full length arrows with 5 and 1/2 inch high back fletches without any crimping. This is the 4 inch thin walled drain pipe.<BR><BR>Next week we are making a hunting buddy one and I will try and get some pictures of the process.<BR><BR>OkKeith<BR>
I think John Kolometz used something like this years ago. Searching for the perfect quiver. Still eludes me!!<br><br>justin<br>
