RE: Give it to me straight
Looks real nice, and if the quality is there the price was right. I don't get along too well with back quivers--just too dang hot for me, especially in the summer.
I had a full pelt badger back quiver, complete with tail and claws. I put some glass taxidermist eyes in the slots--bright yellow color. Got lots of compliments (most good), but I had to trade it off--it was like wearing a hot box to the tournaments.
Most likely the guys that ragged on you are just jealous.
