best alternative to bow quiver

[Nomis]

Well, my one bow just doesn't seem to like the bow quiver, torquing way too much. I was looking at the Absorkee or Side Stalker II side quiver. Any suggestions?

Latigo side quiver from Oklahoma Leatherman.

Also, I use aluminum arrows. just thinking of the noise factor.

Safarituff Arrowmaster or Duiker.

Quikee quiver with sidewinder

I just made my own version
 

Here's how it rides
 

Basically copied the idea from a buddy. It really holds the arrows but also keeps them really easy to get to, and when you still hunt it slides through the woods nice and quietly and easily. You can carry arrows with any head too because it locks them in.  The auction sites often have used ones for sale you can get cheap and modify. For deer I use a webbing belt easily removed for transport to the stand and back, and have that little screw in bracket for the mount to the tree. I've used a ton of different quivers and I use this to hunt, and a hill style to rove or target shoot/small game hunt.

I think the Absorkee with the spot to carry a blunt is the only alternative. I've had a bow quiver on quite a few different bows now though and I've never experienced anything but anti torque from them, I used to be a die hard hip quiver guy even with gunbows, finally made myself give a bow quiver a solid try for a while and now I won't shoot without one! Just my experience though, your mileage may vary!

I used to favor a bow quiver for the convenience but always too kit off my bow when I set up in my blind or stand. I've modified an old King Custom back quiver  a la the OK Leatherman Latigo Side Stalker..same idea just a bit bigger and I've been very happy ...quiet, comfortable walking, uses any kind of point equally well and less movement to get an arrow out.

Matt, if you think of it, bring that to Grayling so I can have a good look...Thanks

Nomis,
Thank you for the consideration!  
There have been some fine quivers and alternative ideas mentioned here.
The Absorkee Quivers are made from, what I believe are the best leathers you can get, since everyone is made completely by hand, there is attention to every detail, and will last a lifetime of hard hunting. The time proven Mark Baker Caddy Bracket, provides for a rock solid attachment to a belt, pants or hunting pack, yet allows for it to pivot and move when needed, and you don't have to get undressed to put it on or take it off!  
Due to the design, arrows can be removed with very minimum movement, very important in a moment of truth time!  
I realize that there is no "perfect" one size fits all, with the variety of quivers in the Absorkee line, I hope there is one that will fit the majority of your needs!
Thanks you for the consideration,

That is some nice work Tim!

What kind of range does the swivel have?
Will it go close to vertical ?

I could see me sliding it around toward my backside and swinging the fletch up behind my back at times.

I am partial to the GFA Quiver. I have used it everywhere from Idaho wilderness to Michigan farmlands....it is quiet, functional, and of extremely high quality.

Westbrook,
The over the shoulder quiver will swivel around and up your back, with all the adjustment in the strap, and a little break in time, you can get it to ride any where you want it to!
The "hip style" quivers have a rigid attachment, (bracket to quiver) they will pivot on you belt some though, and when going through the thickest of brush the arrows trail unincumbered behind you.
Thanks,

Thanks,

Made my own, holds 8+ broadheads and everything I need for a day, side pull so I draw from down low so I don't get seen. And easy to skip through the AZ brush with the lower profile.

AZ, nice job on that rig

I'm using this one for years and it works great.
With the strap on the side you can fix the arrows during walking and its absolut quiet!
