Money saving tip

Here is a quick money saving idea for my archery friends out there.

A couple of weeks ago I posted how a local craft store “Hobbycraft” was selling plastic poster tubes at half price and how these tubes can be used as inexpensive arrow tubes.

The only thing to remember is that the tubes are made of quite thin plastic so can be easily damaged when dropping arrows into them.

I cut couple of pieces of foam.

I then add a piece of thick foam in the bottom and top of the tube. You can use an old off cut from camping mat roll.

This foam then protects the inside of the tube from the arrow points piercing the end.

I’ve included a few photos to give you an idea of what I’ve used.

Thanks for reading.

  1. Hi Rob,
    Thanks for sharing your ideas on your homemade quiver! My dad’s girlfriend was telling me that she use to do something similar to this. She had one she made with little spikes in the end so that it would stand upright in the ground too. I’ll have to ask her how she made it!
    Best,
    Jess
