jamie, i like those side-stalkers too  ;D  i've been experimenting with different designs but haven't found the right one yet.  i was pleasantly surprised by the one i made for the community bow project (my first one of that kind)  it was pleasant to wear and easy to get the arrow out without a lot of motion.  i'll have to make one for myself one day  ;D

benjamin:
Jamie, That looks like what I want to make for my next project. Could you post some specks? Does it completely cover the fletching or do they sick out of the top? Any numbers or measurments would be great.

Andrea S:
Here's what a Mr. Laubin has to say on the subject:

"The English tradition is to wear the quiver over the right shoulder, and this is the tradition that modern archers carry on to this day. To me it is a clumsy arrangement, especially with the long arrows most people prefer. Plains quivers, carried over the left shoulder, could be quickly pulled around to the front so that the arrows either projected under the left arm, or they were pulled around still farther so that the quiver sling hung on the back of the neck and the arrows were at the waist with their nocks on the right-hand side, where they could be quickly reached while riding. Either way is far more convenient than the English method." (Laubin, Reginald. American Indian Archery. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1980. p. 127)

jamie:
just saw the replies. fletchings stick out of the top on this one. but could easily be made so that they are covered. theres no real specs just make it so you can put the arras in and take em out with ease

I shoot two styles of quiver,  my plains style quiver I wear the quiver on the right side while stalking and in the left while riding a horse.  my back quiver  I wear high on my back so i can easily draw and shoot arrows rapidly.... but for stalking it is too noisy to draw and shoot from so i use the plains style quiver ....
