Leather Quiver

[Broch]

I've recently taken up archery again; a new club has started up just 5 miles away from me

Despite having a number of self-bows, I've bought myself a modern recurve to practice and get some consistency back into my shooting. However, I don't like all the plastic/aluminium modern paraphernalia that seems endemic in the rest of archery kit, so I decided to make myself a leather quiver.

It's a bit of a prototype but I think it will do the job for now

That looks very smart!

 

[Brizzlebush]

Very tidy indeed.

Extra points for making it levitate!

Very nice old bean. How about a few more photos? I have a bunch of leather sat here waiting to become a quiver.

I fancied something with a lid/cap on it. Why did you chose this design or are you still playing?

You're going to be the envy of the club with that quiver Andy

That looks a very fine thing indeed; excellent bit of leathercraft!

Very nice indeed. Field or target? I only ask because for field I like to have a side pocket for tabs/strings/string wax etc. Oh, and a built-in sheath for a knife for those awkward tree/target frame/arrow interface moments

Thanks for the kind remarks folks

To be honest I looked long and hard at commercial ones, and a wide range of traditional ones, from all over - I decided on a belt-hung one simply for ease of being able to see the arrows as I was using them. I thought about a lidded version but decided to keep things simple for this first one

My son wants me to make him one so I'll take photos as I'm making it if those are the photos you're after.

Target archery in this case, so I'm never far from the other gear. The roving stuff I do with the grandchildren in the wood is far less formal, and we may just hold a few (hazel) arrows in our hands.
