I made one of those several years ago (with a compound Kwikee Kwiver). It worked ok, but was too short for my long arrows.

Oatmeal in the bottom of a quiver is a potential mess if it gets wet. Shavings would be if they were left in there wet.

You can get a side quiver made of soft leather, so it it's flexible and will kind of form to the arrows, and cut back on the clanking, but I don't care for them.


The only style quiver I haven't tried yet (and still plan to) is the Simmon's Rotary Quiver. One of my good friends has one, and loves it. Still, if you like to carry a blunt with you it's potentially a pain.

For the last few years I've used a simple hip quiver from Wal-Mart. Cheap, and it works as well or better than anything I've tried. I can wear it the regular way, strap it to my stand, or throw the belt over my head/shoulder and use it "GFA" quiver style. Then when I get to my stand, or up in a tree, I can take it off and lay it down or strap it to a tree. A fletch cover, if you want one, is simple to make. Works for me.
