Have you seen the price of a replacement quiver tip? When I did, I thought I needed something to protect mine. The other week I came across this extendable tube for brushes and things in the local Art shop. I thought that’s the fella’.

The measurements are 17″ extending to 29″ & 2 1/2 ” in diameter and it cost £ 7.99. My quivers fit in easily, including that bit of rod that’s left when the quiver is out. I can then easily alter and lock the length with a twist. It’s made of plastic and I don’t think standing on it would do it any good, but the tips may survive.

There was a bigger one (probably for paper) for £ 12.99, that looks like it was approx 24″ – 45″ and around 4″ – 5″ in diameter, for those that quivertip for sharks.
