I made the micro quiver after all and it kinda works okay…

Somehow I can’t post images much on Blogger so I’ll just describe how I finally, after months, made the micro archery quiver for 3 heavy aluminum Easton arrows.

The thing is a strip of fabric, looped 3 times to each carry one arrow, then zip-tied snug with just one tie. I used 3M double sided tape to tape a soft steel disc to my bow sight mount and more 3M tape to affix magnets to the fabric loop ends. These 4 very strong magnets keep the 3 arrows attached quite well. In the future, I might use tacky fabric and even stronger magnets.

The quiver was designed to clip onto clothing for use, or be stowed with the bow during breaks / for transport. Think I may add another loop and magnet near the arrow heads so it’s sturdier.

Making this quiver was on my mind a lot as I had promised it to myself. Some say it is a sign of things to come, that the idea was seeded by God or his agents around me. In any case, the Mission Matthews now has its missiles.

…

A pretty lazy day aside from making the quiver. I ended up zip tying the small coin magnets with some foam tape between and clamping on this to the arrow holder loops. Been 4 hours, still no droop or peel off. Am thinking of improving the design with some aluminum wire to hold the arrow heads end.

Winded up using a magnet on a ziptie to capture the arrowheads. Works pretty well and is an elegant solution. The tie tail is wedged into a riser hole. Luckily there was one nearby. You can see it in the photo above, left side, the white curved line.

The quiver is steady when the bow is held and swung in horizontal and vertical positions thanks to the arrowhead capture magnet. This must be the most basic compound bow ever built. More later…

It has no sight pins, no release, no peep, and a drop-down rest I DIY-ed. I eyeball fletched the arrows myself with turkey feathers. (neon green). After some time, vanes tear / the rubber deteriorates. My nocks are budget no-brands as they tend to go brittle after some time. Used pliers and some force to get them to fit. Perhaps should have filed them down.

I picked up the cable roller from AliExpress, which replaces Mission Matthews’ simple plastic slider that abrades a bit much. It’s the slight bulge on the vertical rod center of the bow. Some say it contributes to speed.
