Once I got my hunting arrows finished I realized that my hunting quiver wasn't going to work with the stone points. I don't do any stalking, just stand hunting so I needed something that I could hang in the tree beside me and allow quick and quiet access to a second arrow if needed. This is what I came up with. It's a piece of bamboo, some fuel line, an old belt, some leather, and artificial sinew for the stitching. I wanted to use something more natural than fuel line but I couldn't make anything that would grip the arrows good enough. I tried using heavy leather but they would slide up and down. The fuel line grips them tight and its easy to remove them. I stitched up some leather under the points and feathers to keep it quiet when pulling an arrow out. I don't think I'll need covers over the points now. They don't touch and lay pretty close to the bamboo. I was working on this at the Scottsburg shoot and Bowtarist suggested sealing the ends and coating the inside of the bamboo to hold liquid. I think he said it might hold around 4 cans of PBR ;D Seriously though, some ideas were to keep a field point or blunt arrow in it or some supplies like an extra string, fire starting kit, or deer jerky. You could pack quite a bit of gear inside of it.

That came out great Bud!! Awesome Job as always!! I think it might hold about 4 cans of PBR, but I don't drink in a tree stand...I also don't do a lot of evening hunting either. ;) dp
-
Oh lordy, that is just brilliant thinking, Clint!
-
Now that's thinking outside the tube
Thanks Leroy
-
Quite nice! I like idea of keeping stuff inside, but wonder about how easy it would be to get some of it out.
-
Nice I like it!
-
Turned out sweet Clint nice work
-
Great idea, Clint.
-
pretty slick idea Clint

pretty slick idea Clint
what Bub said

The only problem I can see with the whole sha-bang is the possibility of coons licking on them kool aid feathers you made up.
-
That's why you keep a blunt tipped arrow inside. Or in your case you could pack it full of marshmallows and hand feed them since you like them so much ;D
-
I respect all Gods creatures Clint, and you know this man!
-
I know. I'm just messin' with ya.
-
Very cool Clint! I still use my store bought backpack quiver because nothing else is as convinient. I like this a bunch.
-
the fuel line idea is awesome.great job Clintster.
-
Redneck engineering at its finest! ;D very nicely done Clint!

I've got some boo about that size, hummmmm, might have to give this a go
-
That turn out good I still like the idea of a little jerky in the end of the boo with a leather cap.
Good job Clint

Great idea I dig it. Your finish work is great
-
Way cool - GREAT idea ! Bob
-
I'll say it just like everyone else Clint, That is COOL!!!
You could always fill it up with creek water, swish the feathers around and have a nice cool drink of lime koolaid.

Pretty slick design Clint and well executed.
-
Unique and inventive, excellent. How would a judo tipped arrow fit in there.
-
A quiver that doesn't store arrow inside it. What a completely crazy idea. I love it I need to make me one. I wonder if you could glue like 3 or 4 one inch strips of leather together, drill holes in it to fit the shaft diameter cut slits to the hole to create something like the Kwiki quiver. The attach that around the bamboo?
I love the idea of blunts in the tube for those days when no deer are stirring, but the pesky squirrel has hung out all day. Another modification would be a large diameter tube that you could cut in half. Leave the node walls in place for shelves, cove the open side with leather that has access pockets for the storage area created by the node shelving.
Anyhow, as said before, great thinking outside the tube.

Nice job!

Cool idea,that should work out great. :)
