No-Drill Kydex Quiver Clip for TightSpot Quivers

In addition to the bow clip, I came up with a no-drill way to add a clip to my TightSpot quiver. These Kydex accessory hooks are great if you use the Tethrd HYS Strap or made your own for hanging gear while shooting from a tree saddle or stand.

Materials Needed

Step 1: Cut a Strip of Kydex

Using a carpet knife, score a 1.5″ x 7″ strip of Kydex. Bend on the score line to snap the piece clean. [00:00:15]

Step 2: Taper the Edge

Use a rotary tool to taper one edge of the strip. This taper allows the finished clip to slide easily into the loops of your accessory strap. Sand all edges smooth to prevent snagging. [00:00:27]

Step 3: Make the First Bend

Heat a 2-inch section of the tapered side using a strip heater until it is malleable. Bend it completely over to form a tight hook that will interface with your gear strap. [00:00:40]

Step 4: Mold to the Quiver Shape

Heat the non-tapered "tag end" of the clip until it is very soft. Press the heated Kydex against the back contour of your TightSpot quiver shell. Use a piece of foam pipe insulation to press down firmly, molding the Kydex to the exact curvature of the quiver. [00:00:50]

Step 5: Complete the Final Bend

Once the contour is set, use your heat source to create one more tight bend just past the molded section. This final fold creates the "clip" action that secures the unit to the quiver shell. [00:01:00]

Step 6: Attach and Test

Slide the contoured portion of the clip onto the back edge of your quiver shell. Because it was molded specifically to that shape, it should snap into place firmly. You can now hang your quiver on any Molle-style accessory strap while you are in the tree. [00:01:08]

Wrapping Up

This is a simple, custom solution that requires no permanent modifications to your gear. The same principle can be used to create custom belt clips or other accessory holders for your hunting setup. Hope it helps y'all!
