Strap on quiver slipping off steep fades

[Terry Green]

There are other options to remove tape residue than alcohol.  Goo gone is one.

Use a dab of "stripable" caulking under the strap.  Won't hurt the finish and can be peeled off whenever.  Just make sure it is the stripable kind.

Mine came with some wide rubber bands that seem to work fine

The rubber straps on my "BigJim" quivers hold tight without tape or Velcro and detach from the bow easily... won't slide either.
Quiver sliding issues is what drove me to designing my own brand of quiver.

I know this isn't the fix your looking for, but when it comes time to purchase a new quiver, you might want to look in to them. Only $60 too.
Thanks, BigJim

I like Thunderhorn quivers but never could get them to stay in place,. Switched to Big Jims quivers and problem was solved

I just need to man up and re-finish the bow really - it's coming off elsewhere anyway and I'll be out in the rain/wet vegetation at some stage. If I'm only just beginning to flake after 49 years I'll be pretty happy 

For now I came up with an interim solution with an osage arm to hold the two halves together. Works well, but it is a little clunky and probably a little more in keeping with the age of the bow than a CF version.

Ordering a can of VHT wheel clear to replace the fading original finish.

When sheep hunting with Doug Campbell, we were going up a steep muddy hill and I slipped and started sliding down the path.  The lower strap on my two piece quiver slipped about two inches when I hit the mud, exposing four Eclipse  broad-heads that stayed in the rubber clips but were pointed in different directions.  Somehow, after knocking Doug over and sliding and rolling down the hill about thirty yards we stopped, luckily I was able to keep from impaling either of us.  Neither Doug or I were very happy.  Think that is the closest I have seen him come close to cussing.  Let’s just say it scared me enough I sat right there in the mud and used my leatherman to punch a hole in the hood, tie 550 cord to the hood, then tie the other end to the rubber grippers to keep them from sliding apart.  Sold all my two piece quivers when I got home, bought another great northern, and have never regretted it.

I see a lot of bad-aids being recommended for a bad design. 

Some things just work better, and are safer, then others.

Two piece EFA quiver slipped and exposed tuffheads touched my finger- a small nick in testimony to the sharpness of the factory edge.
I am now practicing sans bow quiver.
