Anyone see Steve Catts new quiver? I'm thinking of getting one sometime before hunting season. Looks like it has full protection of the arrows including fletchings and can be put together based on the weather conditions. It's a bit pricey though.

Of course it is. I'm finding out the good stuff is ALL pricey []

A lot of it, even most of it, but not all of it--comparitively speaking of course.

For instance, you can still pick up a lot of great old bows (and some new ones) at a bargain.

I seelots of folks, and know a few, that think the more it costs the better it must be. Not always the case. One of the most accurate archers I've ever known kicked butt left and right with an old bow he either got for free, or paid $20-$25 for (I forget--he's gotten bows both ways, forget which way he got that particular bow). It is an old Bear "Black Bear". Probably the butt-ugliest bow I've ever seen, but most folks were a lot more impressed with what he could do with it vs. how it looked.

On the other hand, I've see guys shooting bows that cost $1,000+ that could barely hit a barn--from the inside. I've shot some that were georgeous to look at, but if I had to use it I wouldn't pay $5 for a truck load of them--the polar opposite of the Bear I just described.

I've also seen the exact same bow vary a whole lot in price simply due to the brand name written on it, and one guy get very upset when he found out about that.

The old adage "you get what you pay for" does often apply, but this sport is the oddball in more ways than one. The adage that is much more applicable, IMO, is "you get back what you put into it".

What's the name of the new quiver? Not likely I'll buy one, but I'd like to see it.

Very nice, I was looking at those quivers as well! I really like the style! I noticed Rod from Safari Tuff is coming out with a similar one but in Predator Camo which just happens to be my Camo of choice! Mike from Mikes Leather has some nice ones as well but I just can't bring my self to drop that kind of money for a quiver....YET! I might be give it a go to make one for myself, we'll see what happens!

It's Steve's "Full protection side kick". Price tag: $235.00

Here is a pic put together; and without thetop cap andextraction holecover on:

Looks like a lot of work--I probably wouldn't make one for $250. On the other hand, I can get a Simmons rotary quiver for quite a bit less.

Didn't know Rod was coming out with a quiver--I'll get some details on that one next time I talk to him--maybe get one to "field test". [8D]

Safari Tuff had a contest to give away the prototype, its not a full containment but more like the sidekick. I also like the Simmons quiver.
