My Gear
  Like all things in life no one thing is right for everbody.
This seems to be more often the case with bowhunters.
Each hunter has to find what works the best for him or her. Here are some of the things that seem to work for me.

             My Quiver

After trying several types of quivers, I found qualities in each that I liked. However , I could not find one that had all of them. I liked the back quiver because it wore well and was out of my way. I did not like reaching over my shoulder to get arrows or to return them to the quiver. The plains quiver was very silent, but with fletching grabbing brush I felt that holding it all the time was a pain I could live without . Bow quivers allow an arrow to be easily selected and readily available, but I have never liked anything on my bow except my hand. So I built this quiver to try to get most of the qualitys that I found to be important to me. It wears like a backquiver, arrows can be selected as easily as from a bow quiver.and It is as silent as a plains quiver. My fletching is enclosed in a waterproof tube. The arrow can be removed from the quiver and replaced with no noise or flagging. I can see the points on all my arrows so selecting a broadhead or judo is not a problem. While hunting from a tree I  allways hang my quiver from a branch or hook, so that is not an issue. Although I have yet to hunt with it, I have worn it a lot and used it stump shooting in the woods where I hunt. I have not had any  problems so far. I like it and will be using it in September.
