    VA yea it was designed to hold 4 arrows but I really didnt like the way the hood had to attach to the arrow on the back so I did a little remodeling by tapping a hole in the arrow holder and screwing the hood onto that. This makes it to where only 3 arrows will go into the hood but I liked the way it looks and it seemed more stable. It kinda scratched around on the aluminum arrows where the little metal clamps grab the arrow. But that is the quiver exactly.

    Zach..

    Nice job on the quiver, looks great..


    GMMT..

    I understand the deflection you're speaking of on a non-centershot bow. Thus the need to have a loose grip or bend in the bow arm. The greater the distance from center-shot I suspect the greater the amount of deflection. I guess the best advise is to tune the bow with a quiver if you're going to use one. I've never used one on any of my longbows or selfbows, so I can't really speak of them.

    I wonder tho... if that deflection is as great on a center-shot bow?? perhaps that's why I saw no difference in reaction to having a quiver on my recurve.. I'm afraid I'm not a good enough archer to see or feel the difference.

    Over the years I've shot recurves, longbows and compounds.. I believe for me, the greatest difference in shooting characteristics is the difference between center-shot and non-centershot bows.. Increasing directly related to the amount away from centershot.. It's a totally different beast and probably creates more tuning problems for folks trying to get the correct arrow spine.
