Kwikee Quiver First Impression

[buckeyebowhunter]

PatB where did you mount your quiver on your tree stand? I may do this with my climber. Or maybe but some that screw into the tree.

On the one permanent treestand I have , I have a screw in Kwikee mount on A thick limb out of the way, but quick access. Quiver gets clicked on that once settled in. I prefer shooting bare bow, so use A leather sling quiver if I'm rambling around, or three arrows in a rear pocket quiver . The Thunderhorn  rubber wrap around quiver for Longbow is one of my favorites......

One more tidbit. I ONLY  use the little 2 arrow quiver and modified it 20 + years ago to hold four singleblade broadheads. It is by far the lightest and coolest little quiver out there!  If I wasn't so computer illiterate I'd post a pic. Thanks, Pete

We've (my sons and I) been fans of Kwikee quivers for decades now, as they work very well with the Quiver Caddy bracket.   While I love Tim's (Farr West Leather) version in his Absorkee line....the original Kwikee system with the quick detach gave one quiver the versatility of using it as a bow quiver or a side quiver easily.     These quivers have changed very little over time, and they hold arrows very well, and are durable and light.  

This pic is of my son Kory using "my" quiver that has been used constantly now for 3 decades!  The leather is a hood extension, as I was a fan of the 190 grain Grizzlies since the 80's....

 

Also with the bracket, it's easy to hang your quiver at easy-ready while on stand, on a web strap or even a piece of string.  This pic is of Kory again, in a stand, and the same quiver at his side for another arrow should he need one.

I love those quivers and have used them for 30+ years.  I need to find someone to make me a leather cover for mine.  I tried to do it myself but I just don't have the skills.

I put inserts in all my recurves I plan to hunt with. IMO...the most versatile quiver out there. I also have one of the quiver caddy brakets when using my longbows as Mark Baker mentioned. I also have the 3 arrow, 4 arrow, and 6 arrow quivers for any occasion. I've tried a bunch of the other bow quivers available and have come back home to the Kwikee.


finkm1 - get a set of the Martin Archery inserts available from 3 Rivers or K King and use them in the riser. Much better than just drilling holes and using wood screws.

They are good quivers if your bow has the sight bushings installed.  I have a couple that I still use.  You can do a lot worse for a bunch more money.

Robert(Buckeyebowhunter), I mounted it at an angle on a side rail of my climber so it is convenient while sitting on the stand. It lays along an angled rail so the fletching is up and towards the tree. I usually hauled the quiver up when I hauled the bow up and clicked it in place once I was strapped in.

[TSP]

Mark Baker those are two great pics...I especially like the second one.

I'm not a fan of side quivers because of the fletch bounce/overall movement they produce, but as has been demonstrated the Kwikee can easily be adapted for that use.  It's clear that whoever originally lightbulbed the Kwikee idea wasn't just a pencil-pusher...from the practical side he (she?) definately knew what they were doing.

I tried one when they first came out. A little bracket was screwed into the riser. The quiver slid into the bracket and was held in place by a leafspring type deal. It was noisier than a forty year old pick-up truck. Looks like its been improved since then.

[buckeyebowhunter]

Butch, mine is damn near as quiet as my thunderhorn bolt on. With the little thumb screw it tightens down real nice to the bracket.

[dnovo]

I never gave it a fair shot. I didn't like the looks when they came out many years ago and never tried one. But they must be pretty good to be around this long.

Used a Quikee (in some form) for more than thirty years...  My "go-to" quiver for sure.  I will add that I don't shoot with it attached to my bows.  Just too handy as I can wear a Quikee as a "belt" quiver or hang them anywhere on the tree.  Handy!

[kenneth butler]

I second the Quikee Quivers. If you take a notion they are not too difficult to cover with leather for a more"trad" look. They will look just like the much more expensive quivers. Shhhh That's a secret.    Extra brackets for multiple bows and stands. It also converts pretty well to a side quiver.  Ken

[J. Cook]

I've never really liked one - tried it on multiple different bows but,it puts the arrows too far forward for me.  Just doesn't work for me - however, I glued a nylon carry strap on it and it works great as an over the shoulder quiver.

[Westkyhunter]

There is a strap on bracket that attaches to the bow with two rubber straps available allowing you to use any bolt on quiver or quiver/bracket combo on your longbow or recurve without drilling or inserts. It's marketed towards the bow fishing crowd as an attachment point for bow fishing reels. I have one and it fits and works great. Adds no extra noise either. It does move the quiver out a tad from the bow which might be an issue for some. I've had it on three different longbows and never had a problem with it on any of the three. Sometimes I like a detachable quiver and sometimes I like a fixed so its handy to have and use with my modern detachable quivers.

[kenneth butler]

Thanks for the tip Westkyhunter. I will get one of those. I like to adapt and be prepared.    Ken

If they were good enough for Paul Schafer and good enough for Barry Wensel, they must be pretty good quivers.
