SAS Adjustable Archery Arrow Case Carrier With Strap (Tube with Insert)

NOISE: I don't know how this will work for those walking around hunting, because I see potential for noise to be a factor. However, my son is using this *only* for target practice. We both think that for hunters, noise could be an issue: there's no foam in the base of the tube, and it's hard plastic. There's a bit of a rattle if you don't have a bunch of arrows in it. However, after seeing that other reviewers said they put a piece of foam at the bottom, I just improvised and rolled an old washcloth in the bottom of it: easy fix, and we did it just for the noise insulation. That would likely work for those who might be looking into this as a cheap hunting quiver.LID & TELESCOPING TUBE ITSELF: We also talked about the pros/cons of the lid not being attached, because I did see some quivers where there was a strap that was attached to the cap. But that would bang against the side of the tube if you had that. It's not like you're going to actually forget where you left the cap if you're standing doing target practice, and I guess if you're out hunting, you probably have all kinds of pockets where you could put the cap until you were ready to replace it. The telescoping tube is easy to adjust. If you've ever seen a telescoping walking cane, it's the same basic mechanism at work here. It's hard plastic, with an easy-to-adjust telescoping mechanism that allows you to lengthen it or shorten it. It reminds me of the tubes used for architectural blueprints, and you could certainly use it for large documents if you needed.WEARING v. STANDING UP TUBE: I'm including pictures, but I want to provide you some reference: my son is a very lean 12-y/o, about 90 lbs., and 5'3". With that being said, he does wear the quiver on his back. When I asked if he would be more comfortable standing it up, he said, "NO! It's too cool! Why would I want to stand it up?" He loves the way it looks, and I think he feels more like an archer with a back quiver.I asked if it bounces on his back or is uncomfortable and he says it isn't. But again, he's standing shooting at a target about 25 feet away. The only time he's really walking with it is after he's collected the arrows from the target or the wayward arrow that hits the brush; it's not like he's walking around the woods hunting. He's got the strap tightened to a comfortable position to where it sits perfectly, but still allows for him to take it off over his head when he needs to without having to adjust it. This is a kid who still uses one of those fluffy padded braces to go across the seat belt shoulder strap, too, because the seat belt always digs into him. When he goes outside to shoot, he's generally outside for about an hour and a half. So that's an hour and a half standing with this quiver on his back.FITTING ARROWS: My son can easily fit 18 arrows (ranging from 26" to 33" in length with mm ranging from 5.5 to 7.5) in this quiver. He *does* wear it on his back, and he does reach behind him to grab the arrows out of the quiver to nock them. I keep thinking he's going to end up hurting his elbow/shoulder with that repetitive motion, but he seems to be just fine. This is where he adjusts it to the shortest length to reach in and grab the arrows.UPDATE: He doesn't always wear it now. I guess having it constantly on his back has gotten to him. He'll wear it for a little while and then stand it up. It does stand up on its own, even with arrows in it and as you retrieve arrows from it. I suppose it depends on the ground, but on a flat surface, it does stand up without having to lean it against anything.SPILLING: When he does go to retrieve a wayward arrow, the arrows in the quiver *do not* spill out from behind him, and that was one of the things I thought would happen. Bonus.STORAGE: My son has adjusted the telescoping part of the quiver to where it's at one of the lowest settings while he wears it - it allows him to reach all of the arrows by their fletchings with ease. When he's done, he adjusts it to where he can close them up/cap them/take them back to his room for storage. It's better than piling them all inside a box that one set of 31" arrows came in!

It’s great, too short, will buy a longer one it’s really great just to short for my bolts

I was not quite certain about giving this item 5 stars but only because I am not sure I love it yet although it seems to be more functional than it first appears to be with my having only received it today 9/29/2016. Looks pretty cheaply made. Looking at the photo that is shown on Amazon you see the bottom of the strap. You don't see how it is attached but it is only attached to a maybe 3/8" plastic collar that slides up and down the case/quiver to accommodate the arrow/bolt length adjustments. If you were using the same length of arrows/bolts all the time and you got the fit right for how you wanted to use it, you could just glue that collar in place and save some wear and tear there. I got this quiver because I liked the idea of being able to extend it so that the arrow fletching would not be visible 'on the hunt'. After looking the quiver over on receipt, it occurs to me that if one were to use it with the fletchings/vanes sticking out as is usual with most quivers there would likely be quite a lot of free movement and rattling around as it is just hollow plastic. But then you still have the option of rolling foam around the inside-thicker or thinner as needed-and then it could work probably as quietly as a regular soft type quiver. However used as I intend with the fletchings being enclosed and inside cushioning any movement that could work pretty well too. If used for hunting, this quiver would need to be wrapped with some type of foam on the outside as any brush hitting it would likely produce that noisy thump drum sound of hollow plastic. Also there are two variations of this quiver offered, one for about $15 and the other-with an 'insert'-for $20. I went for the $20 version because I assumed and hoped the 'insert' would be for additional strengthening in the bottom for broadheads--not so. I think the insert is kind of nice though because, while you could only carry just 12 arrows, using the insert is another way to keep the arrows from moving around making noise and rubbing against each other.The insert consists of a rod with two circular foam pieces slotted like usual to grip arrow shafts. The foam pieces can be variably positioned for length as they slide up and down the center rod. Looks like you could draw 12 field points easily at the range and possible two bladed broadheads from over your shoulder feeling and flattening the broadhead against the inside of the quiver as there is about a 1/4" clearance gap between the outside diameter of the two foam circular arrow holders and the inside diameter of the quiver/tube itself that seems made to allow for this. It is clearly not likely that you could draw other multi-bladed or mechanical broadheads this way, you would have to use the rolled foam method. You could still use it as a transportation container with extra arrows with those broadheads only that to extract any you would have to draw all of the arrows out at the same time as individual extraction would be blocked. Used this way the arrows would seem to be protected very well for transport and the tube/quiver's screw-on cap also helps in this regard and for rain protection (easy to drill a hole in the bottom for that) and dual use out of sight storage wherever although the cap is not attached so could be misplaced. But on that note I am fairly certain that one could drill a hole in the top of the cap and half rivet a nylon strap on so it will swivel so you could unscrew the cap and glue the end of the strap to the outside of the tube and place Velcro on the strap or on the strap and tube so you wouldn't lose it and have it not flopping around when not screwed on. I also plan on cutting a circular 1/8" or so thick piece of fairly hard plastic to glue to the inside bottom to help guarantee broadheads.do not work holes in the bottom..

I use this to protect my arrows and broadheads while traveling to/from my hunting area. So far, no issues.

How could you store and carry your arrows without someone like this. Happy with the purchase.
