have a look on show us your quivers. i make the odd  roo quiver now and then i like the lakota style the best as it is real quiet and it dont get hung up in bush you can also grab the arrows to stop them moving. but they dont move anyway. have a look at that and i think you will like the style and they are fun to make.  :thumbsup:    :campfire:

Stick with woood arrows. Go to hidehandler.com Steven Catts makes some of the finest you can buy. He also has other styles that may interst you.

I prefer to make my quivers of about 6 oz. leather, which is a compromise in softness and thickness.  However, to supple up the leather, you must work it around in your hands,  rolling and unrolling the leather, while using some type of leather oil.  You can have quite heavy leather be soft enough to fit you your back this way.  I also always put a double thickness leather bottom, about 1/4" thick,  with carpeting to make it quiet.  

I don't like a quiver that's so soft that it collapses when I bump the bottom up to reach an arrow.

I use a backquiver some for squirell hunting or for stumping.It is about the least practical for me if broadheads are involved however.Most of my other hunting only involves carrying 2 to 5 arrows so there are more practical solutions for doing that. jmo

2-Blade, just do what many of us old times do, been hunting with backquivers for 40 yrs. Stuff about 3-4 balls of grass in your quiver after you put the arrows in, The reason I say 3-4, is you'll pull one out with your first arrow(if a broadhead). Make it as quite as you want. And YES, it will work with a basket quiver.

I always use a Hill style back quiver -- actually, for over 30 years.  I like to carry a quantity of arrows with different heads along with several flu flu's.  I alternate between 4 American Leather (Schulz) quivers.  Tox

Some put grass seed in the quiver to quiet broadheads.

I've always hunted with a back quiver. I wrap a piece of suede lace around my arrows to cut down on any rattling. But never been a problem.
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"
