TREADSAFE if you check out the guys putting a new roof on your house you might find them wearing TREADSAFE shoes. They are made with a small tread pattern so they stick to most anything even when wet. Not good for trucking through mud, or snow, but good traction on rocks without restricting ankle flex. They used to be made with leather uppers, but recently switched to plastic. Actually I think they are made for resturant workers who walk on wet tiles. Roofers wear them tight so they don’t slip around on your foot, and have an extra larger pair for cold weather/heavy socks. Since I’m frugal (not cheap, frugal) this is the good part. They are in WallMart for less than $30. Sorry, no fashon colors, just basic black.

Think a back quiver would be nice, but I have short arms, and arthritus, never know if I can reach up there, and with the short arms, the arrows aould stick way up there.

Since I’m frugal (mot cheap, frugal) I made one out of closed cell foam. Slits in the foam slide onto my recurve, and slits in the side hold the arrows. Frugal, fast, light, and quiet. Have not hunted with it yet, but seems OK at target practice, and stump plunking.
