Bow quiver recommendations?

Great Northern Kickback Extreme. I have 2 of them, and they're great!

Just wanted to second big jims strap on quiver.  Easy to use, makes 0 noise and actually seems to assist with quieting a bow, due to the rubber straps absorbing any residual vibration.  2 thumbs up

I would seriously rethink the strap on quivers. They simply work,  and work very well! I have used Great Northern Quivers for years. A simple bullet proof design. Good luck though with whatever you choose.

My most hunted bows have a single-arrow with a leather head cover (Jack Boyers style) and a Selway piggy-backer or Alaska Bowhunting shaft clamp so I have one fast backup for my side quiver.



I don't often use a "large" bow quiver - but when I do (like the beer commercial) I use a strap-on Great Northern.

Not like any of the suggestions need reinforcment... but I agree on re-thinking the strap on. I also have several of all the brands mentioned. My favorites are the ones with straps as opposed to Velcro (I like those too, for some types of hunting). I deer hunt with the strap types because I like to remove my quiver when I stand hunt and hang it up beside me. My thought is that waving those bright colored fletchings around when I'm trying to be unnoticed in a tree stand seems counterproductive.

Most of my Velcro style I leave on the bow (except for take down and transport) and they are generally ultra light 2,3 and 4 arrow versions on narrow longbows I either use for stalk hunts or small game. All of the 6 or more arrow quivers on my recurves are snap-strap ones. They aren't the top  and bottom connected models but I have never had any trouble keeping them together until the foam gets wore out and then they don't hold arrows well anymore anyway so it gets replaced.

The insert styles look fantastic... but the one bow I have that type of quiver on has always had a very slight buzz that I can't get to go away until I remove the quiver. The insert doesn't seem to be loose. Not sure what's up with that one.

Really... It comes down to what works for you and what looks good for you (first kind of cool, second kind of cool, as I have heard it described). I look at quivers the same way I do socks. I may have only one pair of hunting boots but lots of different socks for lots of different situations. None of my quivers have holes in them though (and they don't smell weird either).

If you have ever tries to open a Velcro wallet in church, you know how noisy that stuff can be.

At EFA we make a wide range of quivers from one arrow to five. We make them in several sizes and models to accommodated varies size broadheads and personal taste. We use three fastening systems including our Talem Grip, limb bolt, and side mount, along with our Totem and Wing options. I believe that bow quiver manufacturers are evolving and improving along with the bow makers. Here is just a sample of three quivers that we make.

I got a Selway slide-on bow quiver for a steal-of-a-deal when I was first looking into getting a quiver.  It has served me well, but if I were to get one today, I would look into getting a strap-on quiver.  It's a little annoying to have to take the string off of the bow in order to remove or put on the quiver.

Over the years I have tried them all,I’m sure I’ve got them all around 45 Quivers.I do like strap ons for bow quivers.I find myself using Great northern more than anything .I think I have 4 of them.
