hunting quiver?
huntertrapper:
i made a quiver out of raw deer hide. it was fleshed and dried, all i did was rub some wet ashes to "try" and soften it up but all it did was color it. but it can be loud. i put some sheepskin in it. quiet it down. but it is strong and will protect your arrows nicely.
Sparrow:
Long as it stays pretty dry,it should stay stiff.Gets wet you can stuff it full of newspapers until it dries out. Frank

When you make a back quiver, many of the problems can be solved by: putting some deer skin (with the fur on) hair-side-up in the bottom, making it smaller than some of the store bought ones (holds only about a dozen arrows... not six), and use an adjustable strap (an old belt cut and sewed on so you can re-buckle it to the proper size works best for me). I like raw deer skin, fleshed and stretched. It's stiff, but not hard and thick. Also, sew it into an oval shape, not round. A piece of soft leather sewn around the mouth will quiet andy rattling down.
Such a quiver has served me better than anyhting else I've tried, and is quite appealing to the eye as well ;).
huntertrapper:
yeah it works well, my prob. for my from lack of experience is that its almost flat, i didnt sew it up circular or oval , but shell work for her purpose. ;D

Flat works well too- it's just slightly harder when withdrawing an arrow, and may cause more rubbing of broadheads on each other.
