can you wear it as a belt quiver and weight down the bottom?

Pretty sure it would flap around a lot. As a person who likes to run around and stuff I don't think it would work.

Arthur_MacG wrote:So my current late night project is an arrow quiver. (ghetto style) And actually I woke four hours ago, so I really consider this morning for me.

I have a camping chair bag and I'm trying to use it. I've run into a couple problems
  • The bag is too long
  • The opening is flimsy hampering ease of placing arrows into quiver
  • only one vertical strap
  • I'm all out of bubble gum. Image

I took care of birds one and two with one stone. I took a metal clothes hanger and put it through the top to give it rigidity. I then folded the top down about eight inches. Then I folded upwards at the 4(ish) inch mark under the original flap. I took two spare gator clipped wire leads and threaded them through to prevent the folds from coming undone. (cut my finger in the process. Which finger? Not the index or pinkie, or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
when you don't give a fuck.)

The issue with the bag having a vertical strap is this. The bag sits at an angle nonconducting of a good quiver. *IF* It stays on my shoulder top up I still have to worry about spinning too fast and my arrows flying out. Otherwise the top heavy bag just tips over and dumps the arrows.

I'm looking for some way to keep the bag as vertical and tight to my body as possible. I swing/run/bounce around too much for a loose fitting quiver to work.

Theories
  • Wrap secondary belt between bag and body (entrapping carry strap) and secure the strap to the belt with rope/string/twine/spare wire meant for an F/A-18
  • {work method...ugh}Sew another strap to the bag so that the bag has two anchors holding it upright. Not sure this will work as the first strap is vertical. Wearing it like a traditional backpack won't work, the straps have to cross. If I sew another vertical strap and then cross them on my body as I put the quiver on I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty uncomfortable
  • Fabricate something that connects the bottom of my bag to a static spot on my Kilt/Squires Belt

HELP ME AMTGARD!


Arthur, what about sewing a loop to the quiver to slide your belt through? It is something we can do really really easily, does not need another strap around yourself and doesn't lend itself to looking any more ghetto than needed. As you can tell I don't do ghetto if I can help it...

Hold it in place by wearing a white T over it
you may need to cut a hole in the T for the arrows

Now what do I do when I wear armor? :-P

Then your 3 point armor will receave -4 for shoddy work
Don’t wear it
You’ll be shattered before you can say “ALIVE!”
-1 points of armor on your chest is NOT worth it

Am I to understand that -1 armor to the chest deals one point of damage to the chest of the user upon declaring ALIVE? If so, damn that sucks...

From now on, all of Arthur's hits count as heals.... :twisted:
All armor worn by Arthur is now invalid...... :twisted:
Arthur's bow is now illegal...... :twisted:
All Arthur's arrows are now "tipped" and cannot be used..... :twisted:
anything else?....
oh yeah, his spear is now a white weapon but must be wielded by 3 people and may not be transported....... :twisted:

So what was this about your Champion being a dick? :wink:
