If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to keep quiet while hunting, one of the best methods to make sure you do that is to silence your quiver. Here are some things to check:
1. Clasps and buckles – Don’t let those snaps and buckles bounce off without buckling. Metal on metal is definitely a noise that will scare any animal in the forest. Make sure all clasps are attached and all buckles are securely fastened, whether or not they are used.
two. Secure your quiver – Make sure your quiver is securely attached to your back to limit its movement. By limiting the movement of your back quiver, you are limiting the movement of all things within it. Here are a couple of ways to increase the stability of your back.
Toughen – Tighten the strap of your quiver over your shoulder to limit its movement
Side strap – A side strap is a strap that runs from the center of your strap around your waist and attaches to the strap clamp at the base of your quiver. This is the traditional archer’s preferred way to add stability to his quiver.
Double shoulder strap – A double shoulder strap goes through both shoulders, which also limits the amount of movement of the quiver.
3. Arrow capacity – Make sure to maximize the arrow capacity of your quiver. This limits the amount of room the arrows have to bounce back and forth. This is a good option if you don’t have enough good arrows to put in your quiver:
Fill your quiver with broken pegs or arrows and tie them to the top strap clamp with a shoelace or paracord to keep them separate from your good arrows.
Four. Quiver bottom – Cut a piece of foam or skin and put it in the bottom of your quiver. This will limit the amount of noise caused by arrows bouncing up and down if you are forced to move at a rapid pace.
5. Quiver lip – Glue a piece of fur along the inside edge of your quiver. This will reduce any noise caused by the arrows rattling from side to side against the edge of the quiver. Here’s another tip to get the job done easily:
Buy a velcro strip with a self-adhesive backing. Line the inside edge of your quiver with the soft side of the Velcro.
6. Quiver Pockets – Make sure your pockets are not cluttered with loose components that can clink as you go through the woods. Any loose hardware that you would normally carry in your pockets individually can be wrapped in a cloth or handkerchief. This has two purposes.
This limits the amount of space these items have to move inside your pockets.
The fabric or bandana muffles any noise that may occur if there is any movement so that you can comfortably maneuver through the forest without worrying about your quiver making too much noise.
