It sounds like he was not only good friend by a very knowledgeable person. Obviously, you are aware models we have never seen or heard about. It is great that someone with your interest and knowledge would write a book covering the subject. That will be important to those that follow us and allow them the benefit of your knowledge. Think how different it would be, if we did not have the books and printed records left by others. Obviously you have spent a great deal of time researching the subject and it should be an interesting book. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Say one would want to modify a armed 4 arrow quiver and add a screw on bracket for a 1960 Grizzly. Should this person get himself a long arm or a short arm quiver? And, how would this mysterious person find a screw on bracket? Never seen one on the E-Pay.

Thanks

Simon - Either a short or long arm would probably work. Here is a short arm on a 60" 1959 Kodiak with a 62" 1959 Grizzly set beside for comparison. You can see the shelf of each bow is on the same plane... so the short spring arm with  fit more into the meat of the riser on the Griz, probably just right above the corner of the sight window as the Griz has a much longer sight window. The long arm will just fit two inches higher on the limb.

You can always take one of the screw ins and just add a bracket to the top.

Nearly every month some of the leather cap spring arms and screw ins show up on E-Pay.

     

Thanks a lot Wade for the excellent pic.

I have the opportunity to get a spring arm 4 arrow quiver either long or short arm. I have seen the bolt on type on that auction site several times and they go for top dollar. It would kind of feel wrong to me to cannibalize a good quiver like those auctioned.

Trying to be thrifty  :(  

If anybody has a screw on bracket collecting dust, I would put it to good use.

Might just wait and find a screw on and pass on the spring arm opportunity..

Thanks again

Simon

More than a bit pricey. I would not recommend impaling yourself on the Buy It Now option.

Be patient, more will be listed...

And I would not recommend doing business with that seller either.

Here's another innovative way to attach a Leathtop 4 Arrow quiver to a fine Bear Recurve                



Clever way to keep from losing a valuable Copper Coin I suppose.

Ouch!

Look at the positive side, you won't have to worry about a snap on bracket for that quiver!

X2 Yes Simon I agree...

Not to worry.  I rebuilt one I had here that was in pretty bad shape.  The lower bracket came off of a green 4 arrow quiver with a crushed hood.

Trap - Nice job of putting that quiver together. I never thought of recommending using an greenie quiver parts, but they would certainly work with a little paint as you have shown.
