Has anyone out there made their own bow quivers? How did they work and look? Do you have any pictures?

Yup, not pretty, but it works. Cheap and simple, made it out of one of those closed cell foam knee pads you get at the big box stores. Just cut in half, and slide the bow into the slot where the strap used to be, and make 1″ slits in it for the arrows. Can use any closed cell foam, I had the knee pads around, didn’t like them, and they are a good color.

This is my home made moccasin quiver. An old pair of slippers was sacrificed in the making of this quiver. They were mocs with a smooth sole and slight heel.

The top half is both tongue pieces sewn together and filled with spray foam. There is also a small “u” shaped bracket that sticks through the back side to strap to the limb. The bottom is made from the heel of the slipper. I cut a slot in it so as to fit snug over the limb and drilled holes along the rounded edge. Then I cut slots into the holes to snap the arrows in. They fit very snug and do not slip.

Both pieces tie onto the bow with lacing. I hope to improve this design with a velcro strap one for easier install/removal.

Thanks Jim ! They say you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear, but you can make an old leather purse into a nice quiver hood !!
