If you're a traditional bowhunter looking for a quiver or a, you've come to the right place. Great Northern Bowhunting is well known for crafting quality professional bow quivers, over the shoulder quivers and more. We have quivers that strap on, some that bolt on, and some that hang over your shoulder. As you look at our quivers, remember that when your hunting situations change, so might your quiver needs. Each and every one of our quivers are proudly made in the U.S.A. and our wires are guaranteed for life!
You may find that for deer hunting in Southern Michigan, one of our strap on quivers serves you best. If you're bowfishing, you might want to carry extra arrows in our Sidekick over the shoulder quiver. Think about the bowhunting situations you normally find yourself in, and pick a quiver that will suit your needs best.
Digestive Problems. If your cat suffers form digestive problems which cause vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, he may also shake. The shivering is due to the low blood glucose. A cat with low body temperature will shake. The normal body temperature of a cat is between 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Christian Quiverfull movement derives its name from Psalm 127:3–5, where many children are metaphorically referred to as the arrows in a full quiver. Mr Quiverfull, a junior but notably fecund clergyman, appears as a minor fictional character in Anthony Trollope 's Barsetshire chronicles (published between 1855 and 1867).
Speaking of bowfishing.. Be sure to check out our Traditional Gadget Adapters. They're perfect for mounting bowfishing rigs to your bow without having to drill any holes. They strap on. Easy-on and easy-off.
Our various grippers accommodate wood or carbon arrows. You may need a different gripper depending on what you're shooting, but we sell extra grippers. It's always a good idea to have extra grippers in your tackle box, and an extra strap or two if you're using our strap-on models.
With our extensive quiver selection, you should have no problem finding what you need right here on our website. Thanks for visiting the Great Northern Bowhuting. Shoot straight let us carry your arrows!
If you're a bowhunter, you're a descendant of a very old and very long line of independent, skillful and resourceful human beings that reaches back to prehistory.
You may not think of yourself as a rare breed, but you are. Bowhunters who use longbows and recurve bows for their hunting are a breed apart, they form a personal connection with their hunting equipment, especially their bows.
At Great Northern Bowhunting Company we design and build every bow with you in mind, and with respect for the long and noble hunter-gatherer lineage we are all connected to. We build hunting bows. Our bows are designed to make you the very best bow hunter you can be.
How do we do it? By paying attention to what really matters in a bow; stability, smoothness of draw, reliability, performance, refined design and carefully selected materials.
Our bows have an understated beauty and a refinement of appearance that will make them hold their appeal for a lifetime. And we still build our bows one at a time, by hand.
We could build fancy bows. We could build souped up bows. We could build bows and make impressive sounding claims about them. That isn’t what we do. We build real world bows for the real world of bow hunting. If there are any claims to be made, you'll be the one to make them, and you'll make them based on the confidence and success you'll experience through many seasons of bowhunting with your Great Northern bow.

Ordering Bows on the phone.
Note:We understand that figuring out exactly which model, or length, or bow weight is not always easy. We also want to make sure you get the bow that's the best match for you and your hunting style. That's why we encourage you to call us - after you've studied all the options. That way we can talk about the kind of bow, the qualities that are important to you, and figure out exactly what will fit you best.
Of course, when we're working on bows, we can't always stop to answer the phone, so if we don't answer - please leave us a detailed message with your name and your phone number. Please speak slowly and repeat your phone number. Sometimes answering machines mess up!

Aloidendron dichotomum, formerly Aloe dichotoma, the quiver tree or kokerboom, is a tall, branching species of succulent plant, indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia.
Naming[edit]
Known as choje to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its English common name from the San people practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloidendron dichotomum to form quivers for their arrows. The specific epithet 'dichotomum' refers to how the stems repeatedly branch into two ('dichotomous' branching) as the plant grows.[citation needed] This species was moved to the genus Aloidendron as Aloidendron dichotomum in 2013.[2]
Related species[edit]
Three separate species, A. dichotomum, A. pillansii and A. ramosissimum inhabit the same arid areas of the Richtersveld and the Namib Desert around the South African-Namibian border. The three have been given different ratings on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: 'vulnerable' for A. dichotomum, 'critically endangered' for A. pillansii and 'endangered' for A. ramossisimum.
The three species can be distinguished. In A. pillansii, the inflorescences hang from below the lowest leaves, rather than growing erect. A. ramosissimum is considerably smaller - rarely reaching more than 2 m in height - and assumes a more shrub-like shape. While there is a gradation between tree-like A. dichotomum and the shrubby A. ramosissimum, the relatively unique A. pillansii population is separated by a different flowering time and therefore does not interbreed with the other two species.[3]
Distribution and conservation[edit]
One of the few examples of spontaneous forests of A. dichotomum is the Quiver Tree Forest, about 14 km north of Keetmanshoop, in Namibia. Another is located in the Northern Cape of South Africa at Gannabos.
Throughout much of its range this species is in decline. Modeling of Aloidendron dichotomum in South Africa and Namibia has contributed to understanding the needs of protected areas in response to climate change. Modelled range declines in this species due to climate change have recently been confirmed by field surveys.[4]
Cultivation[edit]
Aloidendron dichotomum is cultivated in arid areas around the world, for use in landscaping. The slow growth rate and relative rarity of the plant make it a particularly expensive specimen. It is also relatively difficult to keep outside of its natural habitat.
In cultivation it requires extremely well-drained coarse mineral sand (preferably with some loam and bone meal to keep it active and growing), full sun, good aeration and extremely little water - primarily in the winter (as it mainly occurs in winter rainfall desert). In the (rare) event that it is under-watered, the leaves will curl up and die off at the tips; this is not fatal, but indicates that it is relatively dry.
It is unusually prone to aphids and insect infections in between its leaves, and this is exacerbated whenever there is not full sun and constant fresh air movement. Indoor plants require frequent treatment for these pests. Fungicide can also be added occasionally, to protect from rot.

It can be propagated from seed and (with more difficulty) from cuttings or truncheons. Cuttings need to be thoroughly dried for several weeks in a shaded area, before being planted.[5]
Movie References[edit]
Miachel Benson's book 'Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece' (2018) briefly discusses how the kokerboom piqued the interest of film director, Stanley Kubrick. The book claims that several protected kokerboom trees were cut down so they could be used to film '2001: A Space Odyssey'.[6]
