I have always used bow quivers with every bow I have owned. I was curious to know how you back quiver users keep your broadheads from dulling each other down, and how do you keep the arrows from rattling around and making noise? Thanks for the replies

If the quivers made right and broke in it'll keep the arrows quiet on its own by flattening out on em at the top. For the broadheads go to the local feed mill n get some whole oats(NOT OATMEAL). Put a couple cups of whole oats in the bottom.

I put wool in the bottom of mine works great.

Have you ever tried a hood foam stuffed mor glued in the bottom? Wouldnt that hold them tight and protect the broad heads? I am thinking about using one for turkey's this year.

I made me some homemade leather "booties" to slip over the broadheads. Three is all you need plus some plain ole stump shooting or small game heads. For serious biggame hunting I use a plains style quiver and have some foam in the bottom of it. i do not use the booties in the plains quiver.

Guys make use of back quivers too complicated. If made and broken in right you need no other additives. I put a simple piece of carpet in the bottom and the heads never get dull from rubbing against each other. If that is happening the quiver is not made right. There are some beautiful pieces of art out there for sale that aren't worth squat in the woods as a hunting quiver. Be sure the quiver you get is made by somebody who actually has hunted with one for years--they know what they're doing. Somebody like Nate Steen on here (Sunset Hill).

I cut down some golf club tubes and put them in the quiver, keeps arrows and tips separate. Like the other guys said put something in the bottom of the quiver to keeps broadheads from going through the bottom.

Are you sure broadheads can actually rub each other and get dull in a back quiver? I've been hearing this for years but it never made sense to me.
I mean think about it. Or better yet hold a bunch of arrows in one hand and grip the bundle above the heads with the other hand. You can't make the sharp edges touch anything if you try. Maybe the very trailing tip of the blade or the thicker part of the bevel, but not the cutting edge. And I mean 2 blade, 3 blade, or whatever.
I've carried broadheads in back quivers forever and never once dulled a blade by simply hauling it around.
I agree with the others that a properly made back quiver will be soft enough to hold the arrows from moving and making noise.

A properly constructed and adjusted Hill back quiver that is well broken-in should not allow the arrows to rattle when using good technique. I can walk hands free or I can run with the quiver tucked under arm and the arrows will not rattle.
A two blade head will always be easier to manage than a multi-blade head. A head made of quality steel of proper hardness will always hold a better edge than a softer head of lesser steel. I've personally had fits keeping certain soft heads sharp in a back quiver but I've had no difficulty with heads of quality steel. I will sometimes use a hand stitched broadhead sheath, not to keep the head from dulling, but to keep the sharp edge from slicing another shaft or fletching when drawing from the quiver.
I normally carry a couple Bludgeons, a few small game Hammers, along with big game Grizzlies at the same time. No difficulty in getting any of the arrows in or out of the quiver and never an issue with the broadheads being dull. They mesh together well and are quiet.
Best:)

I have used the HILL style quiver for over 35 years MY broad-heads do not dull in the carrying Lets see they rub to gether and that dulls them ! Well ever watch a butcher use a steel to touch up his knife that is steel rubbing against steel . Ever watch a barber touch up his razor with a leather strop? Pretty much the same things and the broad heads rubbing against the leather quiver ! I have never seen my broad heads lose any sharpness from carrying in the quiver. I HAVE seen guy sleave theim in a quiver for months and not check them and they oxidize in there from moisture usualy from condensation . THAT will certainly cause them to dull. I check them after every hunt and retouch them up IF they have any little rust onthem if not they always seem just fine .

When I bought my present back quiver I bought a hill. Too many others are "improved" upon n don't work as well. My first back quiver I made out a side of leather I traded a Shultz longbow for that had broken. I redid the tips n traded it for the leather. Its a shame I didn't know more about back quiver when I made it,lol. It didn't work nearly as well as the hill.

I use a Dave Creger 8 oz leather backquiver. I can roll it up for travel and unroll it for hunting. Soft and pliable the quiver totally collapses on my back preventing any arrow rattle and the broadheads never dull because they don't shift around.
Back in 1977 I bought a heavy latigo quiver from John Schulz...great quiver. Again, collapsed on my back but in cold weather the latigo got "stiff" and that was a problem. I retired this quiver in 2000 in favor of the Creger.
