mrdabeetle Report post Posted December 21, 2011 My son is getting a recurve bow for Christmas, so I want to make him a target quiver (hip quiver). If anyone can point me in the direction of a ready-to-use pattern or share some basic construction advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what the dimensions should be, I have only seen pictures of them. I could probably make my own pattern if I knew more about what needs to go where, what angle the quiver should hang, etc. If you have made one, please post pictures. They would be very helpful as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tandy has an Archery pattern pack that contains several different styles of hip quivers.http://www.tandyleat...ns/6027-00.aspx You can also get some (target/field/pocket/sling) hip-quiver ideas here: http://www.hidehandl...ide_quivers.htm - John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuisPaulo Report post Posted December 27, 2011 Visit the archery section of this forum. Since I dont know if is allowed in this forum to refer to another sites, try put "side quiver build along" or "hip quiver build along" on Google and you'll find very good references.

One of the other members has mentioned the Tandy Pattern Pack which is available at the moment from the Leathercraft library as a download for about $4 or $5 dollars. I use this as a basis for the hip quivers I make for members of my Target archery club. I have modified the Tandy model by including four X 1 inch tubes to hold the arrows. I also add a clip to hang the arrow puller. The four tubes will each hold 4 aluminium arrows with target points. They will hold more A/C arrows because of the small diameters. I also make two other models of hip quivers to cater for the archers that are financial challenged. One of them has the front moulded to increase the number of arrows that can be carried. The other basic hip quiver is just the two pieces of leather sewn or glued and laced which will hold the regulation 6 arrows plus 1 spare in a separate loop. This quiver can be decorated using a wallet craft aid. These images will give you some idea of the angles and the left or right side quivers. Custom made is better than nylon with advertising on it. Best of luck. There is more info on my web page which is listed in my profile. Regards, TapTaptap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdabeetle Report post Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. It actually looks easier than I was thinking. I'm working on my own pattern for one. I missed the Christmas deadline, but I'll get it done by his birthday. I'll be sure to post the pattern here if everything works out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TapTapTap Report post Posted May 1, 2012 Wonderful work!! What type of tubing is that? I've been trying to decide what to use for my pool cue case. Hi Tinneal, The tubing I use in the quivers is one inch PVC used by electricians to carry wires when building a house. I think that plumbers might use a slightly bigger size in their work. regards, TapTapTap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
