Can someone please put up a photo of a simple and easy to make fletching cover for a bowquiver?
Thanks, Dan

Here's mine.  Jeff from Gray Wolf Woolens made it up for me from some of his wolfskin fabric which is water resistant yet still soft and quiet.  I attach it to the quiver with some shock cord.

My quiver is like any other bow quiver, the fletching is exposed.  
Whip, that is what I was looking for.  Is it held on by tieing to one of the arrows?
Thanks, Dan

Dan, No, the shock cord just goes around the lower part of the quiver where it attaches to the bow.  I had Jeff put in a metal grommet at each corner and attached the shock cord to the cover with small metal "S" hooks.

I've used plastic baby bottle liners with an elestic around it above the fletching. Pulls off easy and keeps the fletching dry. They're the perfect size bags too.

Mine in like Whip's except it is made from the sleve of an old camo shirt sewed shut on one end and has a piece of elastic cord sewed to the corners. It's on there all season, every season.

I bought a camo bandana, folded it over in half and sewed 3 sides with a drawstring around the open end. works like a charm for $1.25

Bought one from 3R. It works but I think I'll be making my own now.
