Title: New 2pc. Big Jim's quiver on my BBO I just made
Post by: SEMO_HUNTER on May 12, 2011, 09:08:00 AM
I posted this in Pow Wow, but thought maybe some of you would like to see my new quiver. I love the fit and the feel of it on this bow. I was worried about weight and too much counter balance of it pulling my bow to the right as I cant my bow about 1 o'clock. All those worries were put to rest after I got it on here and the quiver full of arras. It's perfect, the fit, the feel, and counter balance is perfect for this bow. It still shoots exactly the same as it does without it and it's actually quieter than before. It was super quiet without the quiver, now any noise that it may have had is nonexistent.
I'm completely thrilled with this quiver and I would highly recommend one to anybody whos been thinking about getting a 2 pc. for their selfbow, or custom bow.

Yes, that's Art's sourwood arrow in there and it fits perfect. I plan to carry it for good luck even if I don't get a chance to use it, but the first critter that gets close enough is gonna catch it.   :goldtooth:

Glad to see that quiver worked out for you Chris. Looks good on your bow! Never could get 'em to work for myself. Must be that deflexed design, never tried one with that. Stands to reason though, the deflexed design does help stabilize the bow........Art

That's a sweet looknin' setup. That arrow matches the bow just right. Now you need at least 5 more of them!!!!

SEMO,

How about more on the arrow.  I'm curious of the cresting/cap?  Nice bow.  Is the plummage for wind direction?

Semo just build some yourself! Not that it's easy mind you but you have soemthing to reverse engineer right there! The toughest part for me is getting the shoot shaft perfectly straight. I can get it real close though now.

Yep, teach a man to fish..........

CB, that cap or crown is acrylic craft paint. Tracer is used to hi-light the flight and impact of the arrow. Really helps with dark fletching such as wild turkey feathers. Same purpose as bright colored fletching. I like to leave my shafts natural for the same reasons.......Art

What a package!  Very cool stuff...that Sourwood combined with your eclectic snakeskin backing looks like STRONG mojo bud!     :knothead:

Only thing wrong with that set-up, SEMO, is it's wrong-handed.
