Thanks Forrester. Sometime I’ll have to get some pics of the quiver in use.

Glad CO stopped the bad legislation but when I read Daves subject line I was so hoping someone had “shot down” a drone with a snaro. 😀 May happen yet.

Here is a video by Yononindo who posts here sometimes. This a bowfishing vid from the kayak.

I’ve never done a backpack hunt though I do love hearing about others that do have those kinds of hunts. As an outsider looking in it seems a type of catquiver or St Charles style attached to the most convenient side of the backpack would be a solution. Then, once set up in camp you just wear the quiver with what ever day pack you use for forays around camp. Extra arrows could be kept in a tube on the larger pack?

I’ve mostly had 56 and 58 inch recurves. My Super Shrew is 58 inch. Other longbows and self bows are 64 to 66 inch. Have not tried any of the shorter recurves.

[quote=grumpy]What are grits??[/quote

Ground hominy which is corn, but I won’t get into the details of how corn becomes hominy. Anyway thought everybody knew about this staple of the South. Similar to cream of wheat except not ground as fine. We don’t generally add sugar to ours although I have had them creamed in South Carolina and they were sweet. Everything is served with grits in SC.

in reply to: Looking at samick sage #36233

Samick is a world renowned maker of bows and limbs making some of the very best ILF limbs in the world. It is a Korean manufacturer that has been making bows and components for a long time. In fact many US bow companies have had certain bows in their lineups made by Samick and sold under their US name. The Sage design has been sold under the Hoyt and PSE names and there may be others. I have a Hoyt Huntmaster that is the same bow as a Samick Sage and it is 21 years old and it is sill one of my keepers. I was unaware when I bought it that it was a foreign made bow but I doubt that knowledge would have kept me from buying it as it was affordable. As far as I’m concerned it is a good purchase regardless of where it was made. Like it or not, we are inundated with goods and products that were not made here. It’s the world we live in now. That computer you used to make your post, yep it has foreign parts in it too.

Oh yeah, there are a variety of ways to hold the arrows in place. Cameron mentions the wool sock, good idea too, you could line the upper end with shearling, native Americans stuffed dry grass in theirs.

Something I’ve been thinking about would be to borrow from the wheelie technology a little and take a “whisker biscuit” and somehow fit it in the top of the quiver. This could work on the smaller tube sizes but might not with the larger tube quivers. Just tossing around some ideas for those of us who like creating our own gear. 😀

I also put a plug of closed cell foam in the bottom and if you are concerned a broadhead might push through you can put a hard plastic protector between the foam and the leather end cap.

JamesG:

I use this little guy to hold arrows when quiet is needed. The leather is pliable enough that it silently releases when the fletch end pulls through

Honestly when small game hunting I don’t worry about it.

Oh yeah, grits works too. With salt n pepper and a pat of butter.

Couple more old threads on home made quivers I made. There is pic in one of the pattern with measurements if you want to make your own. This one of my favorites at is can be worn on the side or around back.

BTW search the word quiver and there are tons of threads to look through on quivers.

Here is a past thread with a home made side quiver I made if you are interested in making your own creation

in reply to: how good is good enough? #34180

Solo,

Welcome to the obsession! Many have given this advice. Begin practice at 10 yds with no focal point to aim at. Instead, practice focusing on developing your form. Anchoring consistently, releasing consistently. In no time I bet you will see something wonderful begin to happen. As your form gets more consistent so do your groups and before long you will be stacking them in one spot. Then it is time to back up to 15 yds and keep working on that form. Now you can add a target. Remember if your groups begin to get sloppy make sure it isn’t fatigue. Don’t over do it. You can always move back up to 10 and focus on the form again. Just keep at it until you feel comfortable at farther ranges. Good luck and happy shooting.
