It's really odd but the way the arrows go in to the foam receiver they go in at an angle and dont "center" on the foam. Is this normal for this quiver? It seems weird to me. Notice how everything is shifted to the right.
I don't see it causing any problems however, can't you simply create your own holding holes in the foam to straighten out the alignmnet if it bothers you.
Perhaps the holes in the foam were simply not punched square. Also, how about pulling the foam out, turn it over and slip it back in, punch your own holes....
Not sure if that's what you were looking for...Still looks nice tho...
Rob, I don'tthink there's any holes punched in the hole to start with... What's causing Flipout's arrows to point a certain way is the second set of grippers; once you've got two sets of grippers holding the shaft, that's going to control where the head hits the foam, if I'm not mistaken.
Flipout, I'd have to look at my quiver when I get home (unfortunately, I'm stuck down here in Orlando at Disney World at the moment), but I believe my quiver only has one set of grippers, allowing me to choose where to insert the arrowhead into the foam... I'll try to follow up next weekwhen I get home.

YOu are correct. I have no control where it enters the foam as the second set of grippers determines that.
Well now, I am a better man today because I learned something. I love doing that.
I don't know how I over looked that either and that's why I love these forums as well....Thanks Greg and thanks Bowtech Shooter....
My next question would have been, do the grippers slide similiar to Hoyt's? You could slide them within the mount...but the question looks to be answered. Great job.
The grippers in the middle are to be usedfor mechanical heads and if doing so the foam should also be taken out of the hood.
If you're shooting fixed blade heads I would remove the middle gripper and then realign your arrows.
I'm missing something here. I can understand how the foam should be removed if using mechanical heads, but what does that have to do with centering the arrows in the quiver? []I also have the same thing happening with my quiver, but I've corrected this a little by sliding the top gripper over to one side in the mount, but now the gripper is protruding out of the mount. and it doesn't look that good.

I tried the same thing. I was thinking about trimming the piece hanging over the side or just not using the top gripper. Still up in the air. Either way you slice it, bad design by Bowtech on this one. Go figure, they can make one of the most technologically advanced bows on the market but can't figure out a simple quiver. [:'(]
The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness.
Pic of Bowtech Quiver----strange to you?
