I hate quivers

I had been trying to figure out just how to do that but the missing piece is the wooden frame contraption. Glad you posted this. I'm going to look through my materials and see if I can make one.
Have you written a book yet? Someone with connections to publishers...say Primitive Archer...should get with you for a book deal. Maybe even a collaboration, so you just go about your business and an author does the writing.

Mesophilic.....For a 24" long quiver take a green tapered dogwood or some similar shoot of 3/8" thickness on the big end 22" long.Tie off with artificial sinew or better yet real sinew [glaze over with shellack later after dried]5" from the big end and 5" from the narrower end.Split very carefully the center 12".Use wedges to hold it apart in a crescent shape with the center around 3" wide.Let it dry a few weeks and it'll stay that way.Sew it to your split bellied critter.
If made right these leather fur type quivers don't rattle the shafts either while stalking or roving.

Would the term come from the slight resemblance to a sun dried road kill cat?
BowEd:
The term cat quiver comes from it's silent,stealthy and hidden usage.Just as a cat hunts.No outside arm movement from the body to spook game getting another arrow.If you hunt using it there's no misunderstanding the reason for the name.
Here's the build-a-long of the bobcat quiver mesophilic.I've shortened up the carrying strap since then.

Thanks again, now I got me some reading to do this afternoon.

About the cat and back quivers: how do you make sure that razor sharp broadheads don't scrape up or wreck the bottom of the quiver? I love the look of these!
