If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to stay cool while you’re fishing, one of the best ways to ensure you do is to silence your sleeve. Here are some things you should check:
1. snaps and buckles – Don’t let those snaps and buckles bounce off without tying them on. Metal vs. Metal is sure to be a noise that will startle any animal in the woods. Make sure that all clips are snug together and that all clips are secure whether they are in use or not.
2. Secure your quiver – Make sure your sleeve is firmly attached to your back to limit its movement. By limiting the movement of the tremor of your back, you are limiting the movement of all objects within it. Here are two ways to increase the stability of your back quiver to yourself.
tighten – Fasten the quiver strap on your shoulder to limit its movement
Side strap – The side belt is a belt that runs from the center of the belt around your waist and is attached to the belt support at the base of your sleeve. This is archers traditional favorite way to add stability to their quiver.
Double shoulder strap – A double shoulder strap runs across both shoulders which also limits the amount of movement of the quiver.
3. arrow capacity – Make sure to maximize your quiver’s arrow capacity. This limits the amount of room your stock has to bounce from side to side. This is a good option if you don’t have enough good stocks up your sleeve:
Stuff your quiver with broken nails or arrows and tie it to the top belt strap with shoelaces or paracord to keep it separate from the good arrows.
4. quiver bottom Cut a piece of foam or fur and stuff it in the bottom of your sleeve. This will reduce the amount of noise caused by the arrows bouncing up and down if you have to move at a fast pace.
5. lip quiver Glue a piece of fur along the inside lip of the quiver. This will reduce any noise caused by the arrows clanking from side to side on the edge of the quiver. Here’s another tip to get the job done easily:
Buy Velcro tape with a self-adhesive backing. Align the inner lip of the quiver with the soft side of the Velcro.
6. pocketed quiver – Make sure your pockets aren’t full of loose ingredients that could clump together while you’re trekking through the woods. Any loose device that you load into your pockets can be individually wrapped in a cloth or bandana. This serves two purposes.
This limits the amount of room these items have to move around inside your pockets.
The cloth or bandanna dampens any noise that might occur should there be any movement so you can maneuver comfortably through the woods without worrying about your quiver making too much noise.
