I am in the market for a new strap on quiver. I have owned Bigjim 5 arrow strap on before, i loved everything about it, except how it wasn't as sturdy as i would have liked it to be(i do understand others may have had different results, but my results are my own). It would often take 2 hands to put a quiver back in the hood, arrows would shake loose after several shots, etc.
I currently own GN and do not like how the 4th and 5th arrow are behind the bar making the arrows hard to get in and out(again, others have different experiences here).
I would like a strap on or a limb bolt mountable quiver that is "rock solid".
thanks in advance,
Daniel

I guess I would ask why does it have to be a strap on quiver? I think if you went with a bolt on quiver you would get more rock solid. I know when I built my quiver I tried the two piece design and it continually rattled loose. I took a strap of aluminum and connected the hood and the gripper and bolted it to the riser with inserts and it is pretty dang rock solid. Maybe a Selway that goes under the limb bolts. I would avoid the one that is 2 piece and mounts onto riser inserts. I made mine out of a Bateman quiver hood and a GN gripper. I have since painted the aluminum strap dull grey. Good luck on your quest, I hate a quiver that rattles also!

EFA

I've had most of the but I like the Selway Strap-on best. Very light weight and easy to install with no movement at all.

I like a Thunderhorn, especially the Lynx model.

limb Bolt mounting is definitely an option, but i would have to have a quick removal option. , i just find a strap on is more convenient(but my GN is pretty easily taken on and off, i just HATE how the 4th and 5th arrow aren't easily grabbed.(though i may NEVER need these arrows its the thought that counts.
-
Selway limb bolt is rock solid and arrows are arranged in line, not a semicircle.
-
Thunderhorn for me as well
-
Thunderhorn...
-
I tried several strap on quivers and like the kanati the best.
-
Selway, unless you're using skinny shafts
-
EFA
-
the thunderhorn IMO
However I dont like the bulk and dont need more than 3 arrows
So Id opt for an EFA 2nd

marksman quivers wins hands down. proven in the toughest terrain and weather in new zealand. it's a completely modular system too. all of his hoods and grippers fit any of his strap on brackets. this means if you wanted to you could buy a set of brackets for each bow you wanted them for and you would be able to quickly change the hood and gripper between bows without removing brackets.

Duane Jessop recently made this Linx quiver for me. I've never owned or seen a tougher and more functional quiver. The center shaft really turns it into a strong, rigid unit. I like the GN quivers for sturdiness and own 4 of them, but the arrow(s) on the inside are a deal-breaker for me.

Ozy, do you have a pic of it?

Kevin,
can you send a pic showing how far away from the bow the quiver is?

For a strap-on, I like the EFA. The velcro on the straps allows it to be cinched down however tight you need it, and I haven't ever had to re-adjust mine. It's in the same spot that it was in when I put it on (about 2 yrs. ago), after several hunting excursions and 3D tourneys.
As always, YMMV.

Great Northern. Wrapping strap,heavy gauge wire frame,good looks,adjustable length,acts as if it is a 1-piece when it is mounted. Check em' out Daniel. rat'

Rat, I think you may have slmething! I'll see how their arrows line up on them!

Of the ones I have tried I like the Great Northern the best.

Not at this time. The front side of the quiver shaft is 1.25" from the edge of the bow limb at the hood end. The fletch end of the quiver has a bit of additional offset at 1.5".

Favorite strap-ons? Depending on the cover...one or the other of these

Thunderhorn small fry lynx, I've tried just about all of them now.
-
I have tried alot of the strap on quivers, they all worked well, but for me the Annewakee

Thunderhorn

Another vote for the Lynx quiver. I just received mine about two weeks ago and it is extremely sturdy. No movement or rattling so far.
-
I have only used a Great Northern and a Kanati. IMO the Kanati is much more stable and quieter than the GN.
-
I love the Kanati Pro strap on model -- I've used Great Northern, EFA, Thunderhorn, Selway, etc...all have had good and bad points but I haven't found anything negative with the Kanati Pro Angle model yet.

Which quiver do you have?
-
I also believe that Kanati as the best additional arrow holder system with the "shaft rider" on their pro model. I've used piggy backers and hated them - they rotated every time you shoot causing noise and causing my arrows to move around.
I have the Kanati Pro Angle strap on with a shaft rider -- it would be hard to convince me now that there is a better quiver on the market.

thank you for taking the time to reply. I will look into one of these. It would be awesome if i could find someone to trade me, but probably wont happen.

I have tried just about all of them, except the Thunderhorn, and I like the Kanati Pro strap-on the best. Rock solid and looks great too.
