New kind of quivers
osage outlaw:
This has been an idea bouncing around my head for a few years after seeing a kid dumping his arrrows out of a back quiver when he bent over. I finally got around to figuring out a couple designs. There is a 60 lb strength neodymium magnet in them. It holds the arrows very securely. They are for field points only. They would hold a broadhead tipped arrow but I don't think that it would be a safe way to carry them. I made hip and back styles. The core is thin wall PVC that I shaped with a heat gun. Then I wrapped it front and back with leather. I really like how convenient the back quiver is to use. You just flip the arrow up behind your back and it snaps onto the magnet. Usually back quivers are a pain to get arrows in and out of but this one is pretty easy to use.
The leather I used for the hip quiver had a scar from where the cow had a would stitched up.

Very cool idea, Clint and nice work. I think you have a future in leather work. 8)
I love using brands and range marks in leather work when they are available and I think that stitch scar is one of the coolest I've seen. :OK
osage outlaw:
Thanks Pat. The scar was on the edge of the leather piece. I would have liked to have it centered but that's the best I could do.
Russ:
wow! neat idea!!
