Title: New A&H ACS Longbow – which bow quiver?
Post by: Ibow on December 12, 2012, 04:48:00 PM
I recently bought a new ACS 3 piece longbow from A&H and would like your opinions one which bow quiver to purchase. Looks are a consideration but a nice tight fit (no vibration) and functionality is more of a consideration. I’m open to either a slide on or limb bolt.
 
I’ve always liked Selway’s rawhide but I’m interested in anything you guys works well with that bow.

Picts would be nice if you have them.

Thanks, Chuck

I like the Thunderhorn small fry limb bolt and it looks great, if you like a 4 arrow quiver.

Ibow, what are the specs on your bow. Pics would nice.

I got a A&H 3pc over a year ago and love it.

Thanks for the replies. The bow is 40 @ 28 and 64". Unfortunately, I just had rotator cuff surgery today and that's what precipitated the whole bow and drop in poundage thing.

Thanks again the the picts, links and replies.

Me too. Congrats on the bow. I've tried about everything out there at one time or another and my ACS, for me, tops them all.  :archer:

I would recommend the great northern quickmount as well.

Chuck, I have a Great Norther quick mount on mine and I like it.  I've also used a Kanati Angle limb bolt and liked that as well.  

You live close enough to me that if you'd like to check them out for yourself let me know.

Ryan, the way the shoulder feels this morning, you'll be the only one of us capable of shooting it. You take care of the bows, I'll take care of the bears.    :p

Tim, thanks. I'm having a hard time deciding. I really like that Thunderhorn Small Fry and Dave McNitt also emailed me and told me the Kanati is really nice to. The Great Northern sure looks handy as far as removing the quiver and I could pick one up at the Expo next month.

Decisions, decisions.    :)

You might also consider the bolt on Eagle's Flite.  I believe it's smaller and lighter than the others.  I use a modified version of it on my ACSs.  I modify the lower bracket to accept a Selway arrow gripper, which cants the arrows parallel to the limb when strung.  The standard half round gripper holds the arrows parallel to the riser.  Good luck in your search.

I recommend the GN quickmount, my favorite quiver.

Ibow, are you looking for a quiver for hunting or 3-D? Also, do you want a 3, 4. 5, or 6 arrow? We will be introducing a couple of new quivers in the next few weeks. One will be for 4-5 target arrows and will use a single foamless hood that is very lightweight. As far as I know it's unique to the industry. Also, for hunting we will have a 2 arrow and a 3 arrow Mini Mesa that use a unique concept to store 2 bladed broadheads. Lastly, we have a 6 arrow Mesa for anyone who wants to load up their bow. Photos will be available in the next couple of weeks (hopefully). I'll start a new thread to post.

The quiver would be for hunting and 4 arrows is plenty. My first arrow usually goes over the intended target, my next usually goes under and generally after the 3rd shot I've got it down.   :p

Thanks - I'll be watching for your thread.

Thanks again to all for your suggestions and info - very much appreciated.

EFA strap on 4 arrow for my ACS Bows. The bolt on ones  seem a little too close together for me.

Thanks, Randy

I like the Gt Northern Adjustable and keep it strictly on the riser
