Hill style back quiver compatibility with 4 blade eskimos

[Silent footed]

Anyone with a soft leather/collapsing, Hill-styled back quiver who uses zwickey Eskimos with bleeder blades?

I really want to use them, but am afraid they'll snag. What is your experience?

I have carried both 3 and 4 blades, at times.
Many ways to carry, such as booties, and foam.

I've used 4, 3, and 2 blade b'heads with the soft leather "Hill style" back quivers I've built, with no real issues for withdrawing the shaft from the quiver.  I used a 2" foam insert in the quiver bottom to keep the heads from moving around and getting dull.  Hill used rolled oats or similar for the same function.  No matter what head used, or the stiffness of the quiver, it's gonna touch the quiver innards on removal, specially if done reasonably fast.

Back quivers yell "trad archery/bowhunting!", and they're great ways to pack a lotta shafts out hunting, but truthfully they're not as functional as other kinds of quivers, such as one on the bow, or a "stealth" side quiver.  I find using both takes care of my issues and needs.

Though there are ways to ameliorate the problem, as noted above, the more blades on the broadhead, the more likely they are to snag on each other, and on the shafts of neighboring arrows and the leather itself as they're withdrawn from the quiver.  That's why I only use field points or two-blade broadheads with back quivers and use a bow quiver for most of my hunting.

I've always been a two blade guy. But after reading about the Z. Eskimos having their crossblade modeled after the actual Eskimos, and always liking the looks of them, I'm tempted to order a half dozen. If I just had a pack to try first...might buy 3 and see. I've already got some two blade Eskimos

Tarz has a method.  Maybe he will chime in.
