The tube is a 1-3/4" diameter map tube. It is 36" long and wrapped with digital camo cloth I bought on ebay. I then cut the oval out and it is about 8" x 3-1/2". I glued some felt inside to keep the noise down. I then glued some clear tubing around the cut out. The arrows are held in place by close cell foam. I have a wooded dowel in the middle that allows the arrows and the foam to spin. There are some small notches to hold the arrows secured. There are two of the foam rings to hold the arrows. i have it secured to the back pack by a 2" nylon strap that came with the map tube and I have it rigged so when I am walking it sits up a bit higher than pictured, then when I need to get an arrow out just pull down on the tube to allow for pulling an arrow. It holds 5 arrows and cost me about $35.00 to build this thing(That included a few extra pieces of dowel, foam and camo material. The arrows are loaded and unloaded thru the opening in the side. The fletchings are towards the top, will stay dry in a down pourand the branches will not tear them up or steal them.

I am a bow quiver guy myself, but that is a great idea. Thank you for sharing that.

I use a GFA. It allows me to wear a backpack and carry my bow, but can easily get to my arrows if needed. Holds 7 arrows with broadheads covered.

take a look at the Marksman Quivers side quiver. it can be worn as a side quiver or attached to the side of a pack. it's lightweight and features great ergonomics.

the hood and gripper used are fully compatible with the bow quiver parts so you can mix and match between side and bowquiver mounting options should you wish to.
they offer 25% off on your 1st order if you sign up to their newsletter.
