![]() ![]() The hood is the part that hides the broadheads, while the lower part is where the arrow shafts pinch in to hold the arrows in place. I have a bow that takes down with long bolts like the one pictured here, in fact, I think the bow pictured here is one like mine. Well, recently my mind went crazy with thoughts of making a bow quiver.ĭreaming as I flip through the pages of the 3 Rivers Archery order catalogue and the Lancaster dream book as well, I have come to love this bow quiver pictured on their pages. Give me some cold days where the wind is blowing the snow around and I’m locked in the house and that just spurs my mind into thinking of things to do…fun things…not house keeping or painting the walls…those are not fun. And I’m sure the real shooters reading this can add a ton more reasons to have it attached to the bow for practice as well as hunting. The extra weight! The vibrations they may cause when shooting. It makes perfect sense that if you are going to have something attached to your bow during the hunt, you best be practicing with that stuff attached before the hunt. When that happens I have to have my bow quiver made and on the bow. But pretty soon all of that indoor stuff will come to an end and Weasel and I will be hitting the field for our practice. Here I find myself suddenly faced with the fact that it is February 2nd! Where did January go? The archery deer hunt begins in August! I don’t have much time to do the things I feel I need to do in preparation for the hunt! More practice for sure, LOTS of it! I still have a bad habit to break before that hunt begins and the only way I can do that is practice! Good practice!Īt this time of year there are tons of activities to keep me shooting my bow. It may not look too good, but it is functional and I like it…I made it! OK…looking down the road. I’d rather make something myself than spend money on it, if it is at all reasonable for me to do so. Well, again, as most of you who know me, also know I’m a cheap-0. Most of todays quivers that are used to house broad heads use a very dense foam commonly called “closed cell” foam. Broadheads require a thick foam or something for the broadhead and its razor sharp blades to hide in and keep anything from coming into contact with those edges. I made myself a nice quiver to clip to my side for shooting indoors and at 3D events, even out in the field using field points, but it would never do for broadheads. This story is all about the quiver to carry those extra sharp arrows in. There are reasons for the shape and mounting, but that is another story. ![]() In fact I’m going to be modifying the fletchings on my arrows of choice changing them to right helical and parabolic in shape (I have the feathers, now just need Weasel to do the mounting of them). Well, as of right now I do not have any broadheads for my arrows. Second, I have to be lucky enough to draw a tag for archery here in Utah and Third, I have to be sure I have broadheads on my arrows and a way to carry them safely in the field while hunting (a Utah law and should be a law everywhere broadhead arrow points are used). In order to do that I first have to learn to shoot a bow fairly accurately. SQUATTYPOTTY! You have to see to believe!
