SafariTuff ArrowMaster especially if Im using a pack. I can strap it to the side of the pack and can easily slip an arrow out with minimal movement. The more I learn how to pull an arrow from my Hill style back quiver and can load up without looking makes me like it more and more. Lots of great style quivers out there and its a personal choice in my opinion with no real advantage to any.

This is a side/back quiver I made simply from a section of 4" thin-walled PVC and wrapped with leather from an old pair of M/C chaps I no longer used. I built a backquiver first and decided on this after picking up and hanging up arrows on every branch I ducked under during a four hour turkey hunt. I store my armguard and shooting glove in the bottom section. Very easy to use and keeps my fletchings dry and protected.

First off, I am still not much of a bowhunter in regards to successfully bagging game. However, to date I have been 100% successful at bringing home great memories and fun in my Trad game bags ...so my comments don't carry a lot of weight in regards to putting meat in the freezer...not the quiver's fault..but that of this learning Tradbow hunter.... With that said...if not using a bow quiver....at this time I agree with dragonheart to some extent. I love Hill Style if I want to feel "more" traditional. After I read an article a while back in Traditional Bowhunter about "the proper use" of a Hill Style back quiver, I was able to move quietly through the brush and woods without sounding like a popcorn popping machine. However, for pure functionality, my Safari Tuff side quiver (similar to a Jack Bowers) really is better IMO. With minimal movement I can slide out an arrow or change arrows if I want to go from broadhead to small game point or the other way around. I love the low "window" which allows me to glance down and choose the arrow that I want at that moment. I don't care much for the camo but to me it is kind of one of those handsome is as handsome does things. The Safari Tuff quiver does it for me at this time.

The original Arrowmaster or the smaller Duiker model are each great. I have both -- but I only use one at a time.
Another advantage of the Arrowmaster is the ability to use it as an arrow case for travel that can be stowed in other pieces of luggage and still give good protection to the arrows, especially if a hard, takedown bow tube is stowed beside it to add rigidity.

I like the GFA, or anything that imitates it.
Joe, that's a beautiful Groves you've got. Don't remember seeing one that looked that nice. Will

Safari tuff arrowmaster is a great hunting tool.An easton arrow tube fits perfectly inside for packing in my duffle when flying to a hunting location.
