Selway Quiver on an HH Longbow

[Barry Winner]

I have always had my Martin Savannah equipped with a Selway slide-on quiver and I really like it.  My HH Longbows, a Cheetah and a Tembo, however, have never had a quiver on them.  I know it's sacrilege, but I am considering putting a Selway on them.  Any thoughts, good or not?  Thanks in advance.

Not sure what would be sacreligious about putting on a bowquiver. My thoughts are if that’s what you want then put it on and rock it. Live dangerously!!

Guess I'm areligious or sacrilegous.  Ive been doing it for 30 years.

Nothing wrong with it if it works for you

I think the fadeouts are to close together for it to work well on a HH longbow.I mean the quiver would be about say around 14" or 15" apart and how long are your arrows,28" to 30"? There might be other quivers that may work?

[Barry Winner]

Thanks all for the encouragement.

JRY309 brings up a point I was also considering about the short length of the riser.  That might put the two pieces too close together in order to keep them off of the working limb.

Anyone find that to be true?

[Orion]

Not really.  The quiver parts are closer together and as a result they do spread out the nock ends of the arrows a bit more, but really isn't a problem.  The fact that they're spread out more keeps them from touching and making noise at the shot.

I do stick with 4-arrow quivers, though.  More arrows than that hanging off the side of the bow tends to affect the balance a little. But overall, I like the added weight.

Another nice feature about a bow quiver on a Hill, the limbs are long enough that you generally won't jam the arrow nocks into the dirt when you lean your bow up against a tree, etc.

Not trying to convince you to do or not do. Just demonstrating that it works just fine.

I tried a strap-on type bowquiver on a Hill-style bow years ago but it affected my point of impact pretty dramatically. I'd be shooting great in the yard then go to the woods and miss gimme shots on deer Finally figured out it was the quiver. I wouldn't have it on when I was shooting at home, just strap it on when I went to the woods. Other styles of quivers might not have that effect.
