Quiver question

[ArkyBob]

Does anyone make an attachable quiver for one or two arrows only.  I really don't like anything big attached to my bow and I use a quiver attached to my pack when hunting. but, I can see the advantage of having one or two arrows readily available when stalking especially when elk hunting where you are covering large distances all day long.  Just seems to me someone would make one that is not too "intrusive" on the bow.
Thanks

Alaska Bowhunting Supply makes a Solo and Dual Stalker. Each are less than $20 if I recall.

Thanks for the info Jason.

Any others?  Anyone used the skookum single arrow quiver.  Just looked at it at 3Rivers.  Looks pretty neat.

The three arrow Eagle's Flight bow quiver is so light you truly will not know it's on yer bow unless you look at it.  Really.  No foolin'.  Take this from someone who's HATED bow quivers for more'n forty years.        

Three arras are the bare minimum perfect, as once you get to huntin' it swiftly becomes a two arra bow quiver.

Thanks Rob I'll check it out!!!

That is the same as the Alaska Bowhunting products....

FWIW, I don't see any use for a 1 or 2 arra quiver for medium game hunting.  

If yer getting to the area you'll be hunting in, all arras should be tucked safely away.  

When yer at yer stand or stalkin', then you'll pull out an an arra for on the bow and at the ready.  

So, a 1 arra quiver gives ya no back up, a 2 arra quiver leaves a single follow up shot, and a 3 arra quiver makes the most sense for a minimum quiver.  

Here's what I use - a 4 arra ultra light bow quiver (Eagle's flight screw-on Cherokee made for my TD Firefly, or the strap-on Navajo for my MOAB) that's loaded with 4 broadheaded arras and a single clip-on arra added with a judo head (for when I need to loosen up or get bored           ).

BobW,

Have you used this quiver.  Just trying to see if it really what I want.  Looks to be light weight, just not sure how well it is made and how well it stays in place since it attaches with zip ties.
Thanks

Bob:

I have one but haven't used it yet.  I posted a question on them a short while back and got only good reviews.  Search on "Dual Stalker" or posts by me (BobW) and you can read them.  I like the idea of it.

The biggest problem I have using bow quivers is my arrows are so long, the fletches rattle on each other with a shot.  I have been using a side stalker, but wanted something different.  With a 2-arrow, I have one out to hunt, and 1 as a back-up.  If I do my part right, I don't need more.

PS - another Crusader owner! -

Rob,
Thanks for the info and pics, and I will consider the Eagles Flight.  When I am stalking the pack quiver I use is fairly easy to access the arrows, so it doesn't take too much effort to get one.  However, I still think that having one or two arrows at the bow might be advantageous in certain situations, where minimal movement to get a followup shot may be necessary.  I usually have an arrow at the ready when I am stalking or in the stand, so one arrow on "standby" may be what I am trying to get at, with the others in my pack quiver. Thanks again for the info.

Thanks BobW,

I just got my crusader about a month ago.  Took about a year to get it in, but it is worth the wait.  I first learned about them from my cousin (
PowDuck on TG), shot his and the rest is history.
Beautiful bow and great shooter.  I'll do a search and read the reviews.  Thanks

I used the dual stalker for a year on my Northern Mist longbow...it was nice to have and light weight, well built. The only problem was the arrows are pretty close to the bow and it was almost tight to hand when i gripping the bow. Wasn't uncomfortable just annoying.
I've switched to the EFA quiver now.

Bad pic but you can see it on the 2nd to last bow, with the flo. yellow fletchings.

Man that is one fine looking bow tent!!

I have a like new one (1) arrow quiver/arrow holder the sticks to a bow made by Black Widow.
The head slides into a nice black leather holder and the feather end of the arrow snaps into a rubber arrow lock/holder. It would stick to the bow with some sort of heavy duty double stick tape.  Look on the Black Widow site for them.  I took this one off a bow I just picked up.
