Arrow shafts can vary in diameter, but the grippers on most quivers are the same. I have found that some of my quivers do not hold the shafts tightly enough, and the arrows slip out or rattle around. I’d rather not risk damage to any of the grippers by screwing, pop-riveting or dismantling them, so this is the solution I use. Liquid rubber, also known as Liquid Tape, can be found in the electrical supplies at most home improvement stores.
Use a toothpick to apply a small amount of Liquid Tape to the inside of the gripper holes. It will narrow the diameter of the hole without any visible alteration or possible damage. You might have to apply more than one coat to get the desired opening size. Mistakes can be cleaned up with a wet paper towel while the rubber is still wet. The liquid rubber cures rather quickly, so this modification is fast and easy. Be sure the curing is complete before inserting arrows into the quiver.
That’s a great tip. Thanks.
Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing.
Great tip, thank you
Would that liquid rubber work on vintage quivers as well? I have my dads old Sabre Archery 4-arrow quiver that i would like to remount on his old Bear Grizzly recurve. The arrows don’t like to stay in place.
I think that would work, but try it on a small section first and see if it sticks. Is the quiver/arrow holder made of rubber?
Yes i would say that it is a hard rubber, i’m assuming due to its age.
Thanks for tips I’ll try this
Thanks for the tip Bob. My wife has this problem with her recurve quiver I will give it a try.
Great tip !!
Think about any chemical smell. I don’t think there is much if any of this product.
Let it age outside or cover any smell it might have.
A friend told me about hair rubbers used to tie hair into pony tails. Carry a few in your day pack and you can replace as they wear out.
Shoo Goo works as well. Might even dry faster.
Holding my carbon arrows in some n the same place I had my 2216 does not work, I went out and some of this liquid tape and I will try it tomorrow. Thanks.
