Title: A little Traditional
Post by: hickgtx600f4 on Apr 06, 2014, 05:27:45 PM

Well I've decided to get into traditional archery and I was looking for some quality items. Purchased a Bear Montana last fall and some arrows and have been practicing until winter stopped me. Now that winter has broke its back to training. still looking for one quality item though.  A quiver. After much looking around I just couldn't find the style I wanted. A quiver that would hold my arrows firmly in a vertical orientation yet be easy to remove without removing the quiver. So I decided to make my own.   ;D

I had some leather laying around from a estate sale and decided to put it to use. It was originally supposed to be used for belts to drive pulley's. But I hadn't had a use for it until now. I wanted it to hold four arrows and be centered on my back. Here is what I came up with. What do ya think?

Thanks everyone.
I may try for turkey's if I'm comfortable with the longbow. Should be good for under 10yds. We'll see.   ;D
