Title: Fred Asbells side quiver
Post by: J. Holden on June 10, 2021, 08:01:14 PM
I see he no longer has them for sale on his website.  Hunters Niche used to carry something similar but they're not around anymore either.  Anyone know who makes something similar to that side quiver that I foolishly sold years ago? :pray:

I made one from a cheap quiver like a kwikee , just bolted a nylon strap to it and added some to the hood to cover longer broadheads . Used it for a lot of years  now...

Made a loop in strap at hood for hanging when in stand.

Thanks for the tip Kenny.  I just may have to channel my inner MacGyver and see what I can come up with.

I modified my delta quiver in a similar fashion.  I shifted the mounting arms to fit and attached a rope between them, intending to replace it with a latigo strap if it worked well.  The rope gripped my wool camo and/or shirts well, which was convenient, and gave me lots of options in terms of wear, hanging, etc, so I kept using it.  It doesn't look snazzy, but it works well for me.

Great Northern Bowhunting Co. has one they call the Sidekick, I don't know if that is what you want or not.

I did what streamguy did. I had some strap material from ? Got a plastic buckle from the craft store and secured with nuts and small bolts. Did have the wife make me a hood from water proof material. Whole thing worked well for me. I am not a bowquiver person for some reason

This is one I made from an old Selway bow quiver.  I disassembled the hood and arrow holder and attached it to a thin wood plank and added the leather shoulder strap. I put snake skin on the plank and have a camo fleece fletch hood wrapped around the plank for use when needed. This is my hunting quiver.

I was thinking about trying something similar with a Selway.  I also was looking at the Great Northern quiver.  Just thought I may be able to find some used parts and Frankenstein one together.  I have a new asl coming and can't imagine putting a bow quiver on it.  But I really like bow quivers for the convenience of carrying.  Thank you all for the great ideas!

I made one from a old PSE quiver. It works great to be honest. I should pull it out of basement this summer maybe. But I wanna use my Nack quiver more this year too so. We'll see. Lol.

The Marksman side quiver would be worth considering. It can also be used as a hip quiver with the hip quiver attachment.

This picture was taken in 1983. The quiver I made out of a Bear 8 arrow bow quiver. I used it for hunting for years.

A Kwikee Quiver with nylon straps is a simple solution.  I also really like this Powderhorn Quiver

Great Northern Sidekick quiver...I replaced the leather strap with nylon rope so it slides easily on my clothing and an adjustable knot to change the length of the rope. It slips behind my back in thick brush and shortens up under my arm to carry high. Its very light and sturdy...tippit

Oh My! Does Art make a quiver! One you can pass down for several generations. He's a sponsor so check him out for sure.

I really appreciate all the suggestions.  I've been able to get ahold of an Asbell quiver actually through the generosity of a member here.  Thanks for all the suggestions and recommendations.
