Decided To Make A Back Quiver.

[bushpilotmexico]

I am a traditional archer and although I don't think a back quiver is practical I decided to at least try and make one. I'm not terribly pleased with the single strap and would welcome suggestions as to how to construct a 3 point harness.

Fantastic. I really like the look of it.

Look at this guy coming in here and making us all look bad...

Just kidding, really...

On a serious note, that is some dandy work. As far as the three point harness, it's probably not an ideal method. I suppose it comes down to personal preference and you can probably guess the direction of my bias. Those things aside, it's possible that a second strap can be fitted with the inclusion of some hoops along the main strap and may even allow for left or right handedness.

I have a back quiver that allows for use as a left/right shoulder carry with the option for a third point around the torso. I have yet to actually use this feature and find it a bit cumbersome, but I haven't hinted with it either. It's worth mentioning that 99% of my shooting is in an indoor range and with a ground quiver.

This third point actually diverges from the primary strap direction via a metal loop and then becomes a "Y" that has two adjustable strap connect within close proximity towards the base of the quiver. There are also some D-loops that have thongs to tie down to your belt or something else.

I looked over my entire quiver to find out who made it, but I cannot find anything. I suspect that it might be by Neet, but I have no why to tell and no images to show you exactly what I am saying. I might be able to get some pictures of it and upload them for reference a few days, but at the moment I have nothing but a verbal description. It is a commercially made quiver and has a number of little pockets sewn all over the place for things like a knife, pencil, and various tools and such. I do feel that it could have been better made, but short of having a giant rucksack, it's hard to complain about the features. Also, at this point, I sort of feel like I may have even drifted a bit too far off the topic of the question being asked.

I'll get back here with a few pictures of the details I was describing above and excellent job on the quiver. I know you say that you aren't "terribly pleased" with the quiver, but I'd be proud to wear it if it were mine. The level of care that went into making it is more than obvious and even if you aren't happy with it, there are plenty that would be. We are our own worst critics and can easily find ourselves focusing on all the "mistakes" of the things we make only to overlook the many things that went right.

Very cool. I really like the inlay. What is the broadhead knife for?

Being a part time custom knife maker probaly more for "I made one" rather than being practical. Don't think I would want to try and skin out a deer with it. This the side quiver that I made and use for 3D shoots and competitions.

Any photos would be appreciated.

I showed it to my husband last night, and then he dreamed about it and that someone took out the broadhead and replaced it with an obsidian blade for some probably terrible purpose. So....random...
