Made by Steven Catts. Christmas gift from my wife last year.

Howattman

My hunting quiver.

My 3D'ing quiver.

If anyones is interested in makeing a quiver such as the 2 just above, my plans with step by step directions and pictures can be found at http://www.howardhillshooters.com/lakotaquiver/djlakotabuildalong/alakotaquiver.html

Left to right. "regular" HH, new thinner HH, HH style I made over 20 years ago, forget the name of this one:not what I expected when I ordered online, in the far back is my son's little back quiver he got for Christmas so he could be like daddy.

Neet Traditions back quiver

Heres one of mine

This is the one for me when I am stump shootin

Just got this one in the mail this morning Chad and his crew at Deep Creek Products did an outstanding job on this

Beginner level leather craft quivers.

Here is one!

Woody, that is definitely one of the finest back quivers I have seen. It has the old styling to it. With the cut away top the arrows should slide out real nice! How do I get ahold of this Chad?

Side quiver I made.

Heres two quivers I made for my boys. Nice & soft conform to the back well.

Here are two side quivers I made. One is suede, one is mink. Both have side access and top access. I also made a mink back quiver, that I gave for a dozen arrows last Nov. these I think I will keep. Bob

Here is mine that I bought. Should have made my own, but did'nt know I had the skills till I made those for the boys.

Home made Howard Hill style. Very comfortable, broken in and adjusted properly so that the arrows don't rattle around. I can actually jog with this without my arrows bouncing.

John Schulz made this Howard Hill style quiver. It's an excellent piece of work and I've just about got it broken in, three months after this photo was taken.

Plains style I made a few days ago with some bear fur. Still waiting on some silver and turquoise for it.

Zip'

The first back quiver I ever made, with a knife pops made me.

Zip'

First backquiver I made, started and few months ago and finally finished last week with the addition of some rabbit fur around the inside.

Looks great

Hellow guys,check out my friends new site for some beautiful leather work.He is talking about starting to sell some stuff.His son made the site as a Christmas gift,pretty cool.Go to Johnsonleathercraft.com

JW leather out of Wisconsin. has alligator trim top. armguard and string keeper has matching gator also.

I like the four arrow Bear quiver above but also really like my back quiver. here's a few pics

...and one with the hair on !

can any of these store TD recurves?

I just finished this one tonight. The bag is some leather I had layng around and the quiver is an old delta that can be adjusted in about every direction.

This quiver always seemed to heavy for my bow. I think this will work just right.

Carl

here's a coon skin quiver. the eyes are 20 carats each natural sapphires.

This one was made by Art Vincent. From a design that i gave him. Ostrich effect leather, Knife made by Ken Largin about 23 years ago, sheath made by Manley knives of florida.

one more

Here's one complete with Elk antler handled hunting knife (with ebony & turquoise butt cap) and ceramic stick (touch up knife & BH's), Whitetail antler handled broad head file, Fort Turner pup hawk (Field dressing and general field use) and storage pouch (hunting licence, tags, extra string, tab, ect).

It is great and I feel like I have a complete store attached to my back when I have it afield.

I made this Howard Hill style quiver a couple of weeks ago. It is from medium weight latigo leather. Oval bottom of 9 oz. saddle or carving leather. I looked for a side of leather with lots of range marks, brands and scarss for character. The finished quiver was then lightly burnished with waxes and rotten stone for a "20 seasons" look. My first post on the LW, I hope my pic posts ok.

Loosenock

Beaver BUg is that a homemade? Woody, do you have contact info for Deep Creek? Thanks. BILL

Yes Bullfrog the Back quiver is homemade. Really simple Cabin Fever project. Daryl

Bullfrog PM sent

Spoke! That is used for a back quiver also ?

JW - Yes you could use it as a side quiver or adjust it so it sits in the back. A real comfortable quiver for hunting or 3D shooting.

Spoke did you use antler for the strap piece?

Stich - Yes that is antler from a whitetail. There are a couple more pieces on there but the picture doesnt show them.

Nice one, Spoke! I'm working on one similar to that now. Not as nice as yours, though. Probably take ma another year to finish. I have too many projects going on!

-Charlie

I guess we all have one that we consider our Sunday best. Here's mine with a matching arm brace and also a matching string keeper (not shown due to clarity)

Spoke nice quiver,wanna make another,I'll buy it.

It's mine, thanks hawkeye, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Zipperin, I like that black one, but dose your wife know what you did to her good leather skirt & fur hat. LOL

I made these three in the last month

1993 MOOSE RIVER ARCHERY QUIVER, have spent many enjoyable shoots with it.. HOPE to spend many more....Jim

Nice to see that someone else still has, and enjoys the Moose River quivers. They are beautiful work and the man himself was very gentle, unassuming and a pleasure to work with. He went out of business because he just couldn't make it pay despite reasonable prices and first class work. I have 2 of his in all leather (no suede) and they are show pieces. Will try for pictures but have never done it.

Steve

These are my quivers, a Boa 2-tone strap on quiver that can hold 6 arrows and a side quiver with silver fox tail, matching belt and home made pouch.

latest quiver finished up this morning.

GN made for me by the Widow Boys

Saw this on PaleoPlanet, thought I would share it. Pair of cowboy boots made into a quiver. Definitly different!

Here is my first tube quiver.

Heres one I made

Great thread they all look good to me.

heres a slightly altered Great Northern

just finished this one today. Made a little kids back quiver, it's only about 15" tall. Turned out really good, wish I could wear it, I'm envious

Ironfist, is that oryx on the last quiver?

a broadhead quiver I made up today, tore apart an old Neet quiver and dresed it up.

This may seem like a dumb question so please bear with me. I've always used bow quivers that attach to the bow. With that said, how do you keep arrows in a back quiver from banging against each other and making noise when you're walking or stalking game? Are there partitions in the back quiver so the arrows don't touch one another? I've looked at all the photos on this thread, but unless I've missed it, I haven't seen any where the inside of the back quiver is shown with arrows in it.

Night Wing - an old but still a very good question.

This photo shows how my backquiver has been adjusted to mold to my back, keeping the arrows in place.

Here's another view. I can actually run with my backquiver on and the arrows stay in place because I've invested the time to adjust it just right.

Whengoing through the thick stuff, I can very simply slide the quiver down and under my arm to get the arrows out of the way, then slide it back up when I'm out of the thicket.

Of course, you can't do that if you add one of those extra straps to the backquiver.

Night Wing - to answer the other part of your question - about partitions in a backquiver - my first photo above shows that a bit. I have a leather thong through the top of the quiver that serves two purposes. It maintains the oval shape of the top opening and it provides a seperation for different kinds of arrows. What I usually carry while bowhiking are several rubber blunts in one compartment for shooting thought sagebrush or rabbitbrush (stumps are too damned hard out here in the Rockies) and several broadheads in case I meet up with a mountain lion or a wild dog. I also keep a couple of field point arrows in the same section with the broadheads so that I can shoot at my straw bales in the yard when I go out and when I return. Since they are shorter than the broadheads, I can easily feel them without looking.

Most archers don't like the old HH style backquiver, but after breaking it in, adjusting it properly and shooting from it over many miles, I swear by it. There is simply no faster method of speedloading the bow than from a backquiver - and I've tried them all.

Here's a picture of some of my quivers along with my bows. Two quivers are Jack Bowers and the other one is a Howard Hill stitch shoulder model that's about 40 years old. A lot of arrows have been put in and taken out of this quiver in that period of time that's for sure. Alaska Jim

Crossed Arrows,

Thanks for the great photos. Since my hunting arrows are 31" long, I think I might try the 22" Howard Hill backquiver. I'm still a little fuzzy on the thong at the top of the quiver. Did you make it and add it to your HH quiver as a modification?

NW - The thong, or seperator lace, is just a piece of rawhide or leather about like a bootlace that is run through and adjusted to the appropriate length to keep the opening at the top from forming a circle from the weight of the arrows and leather instead of the desired oval shape. Most HH style backquivers will come with one or you can add one very easily.

You can see a seperator lace coming through in Alaska Jim's HH backquiver above (the quiver on the right) and you can see how the arrows in my backquiver are seperated by a lace in my kneeling photo above. Nothing fancy, just functional.

I prefer my seperator about 2/3 from the shoulder end of the quiver top. That way I have the most maneuver room at that end where I will carry my broadheads and they won't tend to hang up on the lace when I speedload.

From studying Howard Hill's style and John Schulz's training materials, I've learned to grab the nock of an appropriate arrow without looking and while picking a spot on the target and getting into position, I can speedload the bow and take a good shot in 4 seconds. My standard for practice is 2 good shots in 8 seconds. No other way of carrying arrows will let me do this.

Most people give up on the HH style backquiver long before they get it right and really learn how to use it. That's okay. They are welcome to send those old Howard Hill or John Schulz or American Leather backquivers to me. I'll continue to struggle with them. [:-)

Alaska Jim - by the looks of that fencing, you must have some big bad neighbors!

Night Wing - 22" should work okay. My arrows are cut to 28" BOP.

Crossed Arrows, The fence in question is 8 foot tall and encircles 5 acres. This is on my son's property. It was intended to keep out wandering moose and bears and does a pretty good job of doing it but last year two brown bears just dug a hole under the fence and came in any way. Alaska Jim

Alaska Jim - what a neighborhood! Of course, once you get brown bears inside the fence, it means you are all inside a cage together!

Night Wing - while bowhiking this morning, I took this photo to show the seperation of arrows in my quiver. On the left side (remember, I'm a lefty) you see barred feather broadhead arrows that are longer than the whitefeathered field points - easy to pick the right one by feel and quick to speedload. On the right are the rubber blunts - again, easy to pick from location over my shoulder.

Crossed Arrows,

I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks for the close-up photo showing the top of your Howard Hill style quiver. I appreciate all the photos you've posted showing your quiver and how you move through thick stuff with it.

You're welcome, Night Wing. Just trying to keep the tradition going.

Here's a different style quiver. Just got this one and finished it up the other day. Spalted curly maple, added the strap and knife. Going to give it a try this fall.

is it completely carved outta wood? i have wondered about that.

Dave, thats the most unique quiver I've ever seen. Nice work.

Awesome work. Stretch the imagination and never stop creating

It's completely carved out of wood, it's 3 pieces glued together. Ed Burgess of Cherokee Slim in Indiana made it. I saw them at the Trad Expo this spring and knew I had to have one. Ordered it unfinished, got it, and doctored it up. I wish he had a website to share, he makes some incredible quivers. Had several that the center piece was made out of shed antlers, for decoration of course, don't think they would be comfortable to wear.

Here's my latest after 4 months of work. This quiver is being donated to our State Shoot in 2 weeks. It has over 40 hours worth of work in it. Had a local flint knapper donate the obsidian knife to go with it and working on a set of arrows to go in it. So if you're in the neighborhood of Jackson Ohio on the 30th and 31st, come to the OSTA State Shoot and take a chance on winning it.

Just a simple quiver I use for hunting. Works well for me. I hunt from the ground and do some stalking at times, This quiver allows me to crawl through the brush if need be and keeps the fletching and arrows tucked close so as not to hit branches and brush that may give my location away. Also works well as a back quiver. I also use a single arrow quiver on my recurve for quick access.

I am new to trad shooting and I am in the proscess of building a H.H. style quiver as I write this , got some good ideas from all the pics posted .Many thanks in advance and enjoyed reading the posts! Also would like to hear from any trad. shooterd in or around the Waco ,Corsicana ,Hillsboro,Texas areas. Thanks again David_lewis93

Made this three years ago

Got the arrow head in southern Ohio 25yrs ago while working near Jackson county

This is for Tex-Mex,did you make your quiver? Also what part of Texas do live? I am from McAllen Texas,deep down south about 3 miles from the Mex. border. I like your quiver,I am trying to make one from a coyote skin that I was given. drop me a note, My name is Isidro Ybanez Jr.(Sid ) for short, or Archer on the wall. thanks

SOS that quiver is a Springbok.

This represents 3 days of my vacation.

Close-up of the 1889 penny arrowhead. Yes, I see the glue spot.

These were made by Brian Rice in Edmonton, Canada. I'm a fan of the '30's Robinhood

Very slick looking Robinhood quivers. Is the lace white?

Here's the Shrew Back Quiver, back again by popular demand.

Beautiful work,gives me ideas

Here's my current project. It will end up being a plains style quiver for me. Trimmed in bear fur once I get my bear back, and black fringe. It the final scene from my Maine bear hunt last year, the best I can remember it.

It looks splotchy because I just put a top coat on it and it hadn't dried yet.

Hope there will be more posts coming up, this thread is a great inspiration for me!!!

Here is one I made for a friend.

Another one with an antler handled knife and file I put together.

My personal bow and walnut burl quiver

Something I don't think people are aware of: The Name "Sidestalker" in reference to a quiver is a copyrighted name and has been since 1985 when Jack Bowers designed the first one...PR

Bowsin that is a really nice homemade bow quiver there.

I posted this one recently but I'll put it up here again. This was a work in process for a year or so. Started out as a back quiver but I decided for my hunting conditions I really needed a side quiver to keep fletching from getting trashed every outing. I really like using it. Would like to get a fletch cover that isn't fleece cuz that gets snagged on thorns when I get lost and have to bushwack:). A pocket for my tab and a string would be cool editions to it and a small knife sheath too.

This is a quiver I got in trade for longbow I made. That fella is the one who made it. It sits on the back real nice due to a second strap that comes around under your arm and up to the other strap.

HERE'S MINE AND MY C.H. BOW.

Clothyard traditional archery custom leather back quiver...

Just to keep the thread going. everytime I look at it I see a neat design I didn't notice before. Here is a belt quiver I made based on a style I have documented back to Elizabethan times and up through the 1830s or so. It Arrows go through the loop and into the cup which sits at an angle on your side secured to your belt. I find it is the most comfortable and handy way to carry arrows for a 3d shoot. Never hangs in the brush and supports a multitude of drawing methods, including over the shoulder if you so desire.
