I have a CQ mini and a 6.5. The mini is great to strap on any pack but I use the 6.5 a lot.
The 6.5 has the quiver on the side and is much easier to pull arrows out of and easier to replace them. Also no problem sitting with the quiver on the side.
Mine has been on 3 elk hunts and it's very quiet, still in like new condition.

Mike, Just a thought - I've used various Catquivers and like their utility. I'm uneasy though about arrow security if I take a fall, slip, etc. The flexibility of the unit and sharp broadheads pointed down at the back of my legs has given me pause. Like I said, just a thought. Best, Todd

As safe or safer than any other back quiver.. I've rolled down a couple of hills and slid down more than a couple of slopes with mine on and the only thing hurt was my pride and a couple of bent aluminum arrows..

i have used a cat 2,6,and mini the 2 did cause issues when sitting on a log or whatever, but that was the only issue with it other than some squeeking that was easily fixed, the 6 is a great quiver/pack but i took that idea and use a mini with the quiver attatched to the side of a small day pack. issues i have worked out with various models throgh out the years: the broadhead safety issue is resolved by simply dont grab the broadhead . if ya feel the hood go a little higher and grab the shaft adjust the quiver where it rides a little lower. the squeeking,i have only noticed on the II i used cloth medical tape under the fittings and wherever the pack rubbed against plactic fixed it. the 6 has a little bigger pack than i like but the quiver positioning was perfect.so i adapted that idea to my own small day pack. on all of them i attatch a small carabiner or snap, to hook into my haul rope. then use a simple screw in hook and hang the quiver to my right ( i shoot left handed)about shoulder high very easy access and the arrows are protected in rain or whatever.. i love a cat quiver best all round quiver i have ever used
