My latest projects....(pics) UPDATE

#1 Post by g_r » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:15 am

Hello,

as i always like new ideas and love to see pics of youre projects i thought id share some of my latest works.

1. Side-quiver

As i like some things about bowquivers but dont like em on my bows i made a side quiver out of half a Thunderhorn Boa, some Piggy Backers, some aluminum, a piece of leather and a strap.
First i made for 8 arrows but that was to clumpsy and i shortend it for 6 arrows.

Image

2. new arrows
The set of arrows ive put the most work in till now.
340 MFX Classics 30", 50 grain insert, 125 grain point, alufooting back and front; 4x4" feathers wound with dental floss. Since i leave the back-foting longer and wind it in i like the looks much better.

Image

3. bow bag

Out of an old wool blanket and B50 string and some straps i sewed a tight fitting bag for my Bob Lee TD LB.

Image

4. pouch
same materials as the bow bag made a small belt pouch for points, string, nocks etc.
Still have to put a button on it, will use a horn button that is in the making.

Image

Hope you liked it,
Regards Axel

You have been busy mate. I like the quiver you made. I made a similar one up from one of my son's bow quivers for my last hunt to see if I liked it and I found it to be good and will probably buy a similar one to yours or make one up.

If you make one yourself, ive been experimenting and think the most arrows in a non-clumpsy way would be held if the points wre in one line and the clamps are in a half circle. Will make another try for 8 arrows someday.

No Rod, not anymore! Weather ent from -10°C and 60 cm snow to +14°C and rain in 24 hours. Somethings wrong! But at least the snows gone for now.

Thanks mate; I was looking at the GFA style ones which don't fan the arrows out so much as I find when they are faned out they catch on more bushes etc.
