Hi there BearG, how did you come up with the idea of a combination carry bag/quiver? The reason I ask is that as well as being a leatherworker I am an Archer also. I must be as thick as a plank because I don't know what you mean by "possibles Bag" in the title of this Post. The concept of a quiver attached to a backpack has some merit if you spend a lot of time in the bush however most archers I know use a number of small packs attached to a belt. I would be interested to know how successful your project was in a practical sense. Did you choose the material for the project? As you become more experienced in working with leather you will learn the limitations of the various types of leather. Keep at it, BearG - practice makes perfect.

Regards,

BJ

I had help in picking me leather. For the life of me I don't remember what type it is. Possibles bags are used in black powder shooting to put things you will possible need. I saw something like it on primitive archer.com.

The two parts that make the quiver I put snaps on so can come off quick.

Thanks

Thanks for setting me straight BearG. If you had called it a "Dilly Bag" I would have known immediately what you meant. It's funny how some parts of the world have different names for the same thing. The leather appears to be suede but it is hard to tell for sure from the image. I have a copy of a the Tandy Leather Black Powder Book by Gene Noland (probably out of print by now) which describes how to make "Hunting Bags" using suede splits. They are a smaller version of your bag and the edges are sewn together not braided. I will check out the website you mentioned as i am always looking for new projects to tackle.

Nice Job

At the E.T.A.R. in Denton Hill Pa a dealer makes this style quiver only he attaches an old Fred Bear quiver to the bag.

You have done a nice job.

BearG...

Nice work. What did you use for the arrow gripper? What are the arrow shafts and their diameters?

I've got a couple of similar ideas swimming around in my "mad creative scientist mind".
