Thinking about getting my bows tapped for Kwikee Kwivers. Anyone use these on your bows? Any pros or cons? Thanks in advance, Sam
-
I have a Samick Sage which came with the inserts already. I bought a Kwickie 6 arrow quiver for about 30 bucks. It was a little loose so I put a strip of duct tape between the mount and quiver. I love the quiver it holds 5/16 arrows securely and it actually quieted the bow. It is super easy to take off and reinstall. It is made of plastic so it may not hold up if dropped. Overall, I really like it and it costs far less than other quivers.

Been using Kwikee Kwivers for 40 years on recurve, then compound, now back to using a longbow.
IMHO the best bang for the buck quiver around.
Personally I prefer not to shoot a bow with the quiver attached and the Kwikee is easily removed once in the stand or blind.
I've just purchased a Kwikee Sidewinder hip attachment that I'm going to try rather than mount the quiver to my bow.
-
good quivers,,,, always will be good quivers and like any old compoundish type quiver you can mount them to a thin board and make an asbell style or belt quiver too.
I really like the rubber they used in the quickee,, if my memory serves me right when it gets extremely cold the arrows still go in and come out nice and quiet,,, some quivers the rubber hardens and it can be loud reaching for an arrah.

They are a nice quiver for the price. Had the same one on a checkmate for years.

My aluminum riser Black Widow HS60 Takedown has the Kwikee Quiver inserts tapped into it and I use the Kwikee 3 Quiver and I also have some older 6 arrow units. The 3 is perfect if you're wanting light, balanced, and more compact. You can also add a piggy-backer for a stumping arrow. The nice thing is they are interchangeable and you just snap in the one you want! I've also seen people do a wonderful job wrapping them with leather... On my custom Black Widow KB ("wood"), I went with the inserts at the end of the riser (side mount) quivers and use a Kanati Pro Dual Arc. Both are great, I prefer these over strap on units...
-
Like KAZ I lean toward the 3 arrow version(not the one that folds) it employs a thump screw to tighten to keep noise to a minimum. I sewed a leather hood as a more trad looking cover and glued on with Duco. Been using Kwikee for 40 years. As mentioned the rubber grippers works great. Using my bracket as a template I drilled pilot holes and used wood screws instead of inserts just to see how I liked it. I never ended up putting in inserts as the wood screws held fast.
-
Use them on a couple of bows.....I take it off when I get set up.
-
I haven't used one since the Kwickee was such a simple snap on item that did not cover the points. Later, I separately purchased a cover that did not come with the original quiver. I stabbed myself in the leg. Now I use back quivers.
-
I really like kwikee and use them on all my Silvertips.
-
I also use a Kwikee on a Mark Baker style belt set up.
-
I once found a Kwikee quiver full of arrows with BH's laying in some buck brush, apparently the easy release feature was a little too easy. That was back in the 70's so they certainly could have change that feature by now.
-
I have a Kwikee Kwiver quick disconnect on my tree stand and attach the Kwiver to the stand when I get there.
-
Thanks for all the input!
-
I rock a little 3 arrow kwikee. It's light weight not not loud at all. I rather like it. I usually whoop with it on.
-
Love them.
-
Best there is IMHO. Easy on, easy off. I don't like shooting with a quiver on my bow. But I like carrying my arrows in secured to my bow. Nothing else even comes close. :thumbsup:
-
I use one all the time when hunting. I have two six arrow, a 4 arrow, and a 3 arrow quiver. I keep arrows ready to go in all 4 depending on what bow I'm taking out. Put on leather hoods to spruce them up. Love the Kwikee.
-
Had a Blacktail bow built with holes for a Kwikee quiver. I bought a 3 arrow quiver. Fits snug. Screws down so it doesn't rattle. And, I take it off easily when I'm in the tree stand. I have another bow with a Bohing Lynx 4 arrow quiver (same attachment holes). I like that, but I prefer the Kwikee.
-
What are the approximate dimensions of the different one piece kwikee kwivers, not the suicide kwivers? Width, length, and height off the bow or whatever its mounted to).
I can't decide between a 3, 4, or 6 arrow kwikee; 3 is less bulky, but 6 holds double the arrows. Of course I can just get both.
-
11 1/2" long , 5" wide, six arrow.

12" long 3" wide 3 arrow

I have a three arrow quiver. Didn't want to drill holes in my bow, so I went to Home Depot and bought some aluminum angle, 3/4" x 3/4". Left one side long, about 4", and cut an inch off each end of the other side. On the short side I drilled holes and mounted the quiver to the bracket, then taped the long side to the back of the bow, so the short side is parallel to the side of the bow. Works pretty good and I don't have holes in my bow.
-
My go to product for many years.
-
Thanks fellas!
-
I now have a bracket attached to my Waldrop Pack Seat. Put the quiver on and walk to my spot and then take it when set up. I have 3,4 and 6 arrow Kwikees.
-
I also use them on my silvertips. This is my 4 arrow.

I love the old school green quivers.
-
I've had hundreds of quivers....no exaggeration. I keep coming back to the kwikee cause I like to take it off my bow in a tree. Nothing is quicker or easier imo. I have clips on my treestands and several screw in clips so the quiver is never an issue. I have 4 or 5 of the 3 arrow jobs and I love 'em.
-
I have two 3 arrow Kwikee's. Along with a screw in tree mount, and a half dozen extra bow mounts. I like them a lot on my trad bows because I take my quiver off once in the stand, blind, or setup in my spot. I am also a big fan of Tightspot 3 arrow quivers but unless you leave the quiver on the bow they are too expensive.
-
would there be much interest in a different quiver that can be used with the AMO inserts like the kwikee?

Yes!

Hate to spoil the party but did anyone else have a bad experience with a Kwikee? First used one back in the '70's and after a while - don't recall how long I had it at that point - the portion of the arm the rubber shaft holder was attached to cracked and crumbled into small pieces. Contacted them and they sent a new one and within a few months same thing happened to that one. Never used another after that....and may have tossed another in the buck brush...LOL. Still have the mounting bracket somewhere with camo paint splattered on it....and the Black Bear R/C with holes drilled into the riser. :(

Never had problems with mine and I’ve had a few.

My next bow will be tapped for either a quickie quiver or a tightspot quiver. I want to be able to take the quiver off the bow and hang it in the tree when hunting whitetails.

I use both. The TightSpot is really slick. The Kwikee is on my Schafers and TightSpot on my ilf and ACS. They are both great.
