From Amazon:

TZ 1140 Built to be the ultimate archer's stalking pack, the TZ 1140 provides bow hunters complete mobility. ... Included are twelve total compartments that account for 1,144 cubic Inch of storage space and a specialized quiver mount.

This is a great pack with a lot of low profile inner and outer side and back pockets, room for tools and spares. The inside holds a hydration bladder, and plenty of room for outerlayer or a puffy and lunch. Having some great pack building pals - Dana Gleason of Mystery Ranch, and his first design partner way back at Kletterwerks, Darvin VanderGrift - as a young climber I started right off as an active gear tweaker. So, I made some simple mods with compatible webbing so that the comfy shoulder pad at the top of the sling offers more adjustability, to an already flexible setup that lets you sling over either shoulder. Nice for managing fatigue away from your bow shoulder, for example..

I also discovered that with some thought I can rig my Z extreme and Tight Spot on the back, using a short length of webbing clipped to the shoulder strap in conjunction with the stock back side strap. Nice for moving thru tight marsh clumps, etc., where the bow rides better tucked high and behind.

I'm asking 75 to your door, well worth it. Great pack, but now that the kids off my couch I'm elk hunting a lot more and need a little more capacity. This has never been dirty, only outside once with complete bow setup for a successful hike scenario and demo in my treestand to check it out, and then back in the closet.

I cannot figure out how to post pics, so would offer to send you some fresh ones instantly right from the phone, just let me know - Thanks
