best non bow quiver for hunting

[Jim Parsell]

I agree with Pete and really like the Adcock style side quiver..  Its easy to shift into several different positions to get it out of the way etc..  I believe Cedar Ridge makes them and the quality is excellent..  It will last a life time!!!!  Jim

I've made a few of this style, they sure are nice for hunting, did this one for my left handed friend Dorris, not quite finished in the pic, need to add the holder.

I find a Lakota quiver to fit my needs the best. It will carry plenty of arrows and I can move it around to make it suit my immediate needs in the field.

GFA and Mark Baker's Quiver Caddy/Kwikee Combo

For hunting I like having the arrows secured in a gripper.  I just got a new pack for a Colorado hunt next fall and I'm going with the Quiver Caddy because it attaches/detaches easily to the waist belt and I don't want a strap around my neck. I will probably lash a GFA to the pack just to carry some more arrows into camp.

Just bought a GAF from Ron and really like it.  I've been using a similar home made version for a couple of years, but like many have said on here, the GFA is an improvement over my home made version.

The "Adcock style" quiver is very similar to the GFA.

 

While there will be slight variations in thematic design, the vast array of functional quivers are gonna be back, hip, bow, sling.  

While all quivers are gonna be of these four basic styles, some may be combinations of styles, or convertible to different styles.  Such as taking a bow quiver and sticking a strap on it and voila, ya gots yerself a sling quiver.  

The GFA and Adcock and Indian plains and Torges quivers are all sling style quivers.  A back quiver means just that - it rides somewhere off and close to the bowhunter/archer's back, and that kinda quiver style includes the Hill and St Charles Cat styles.  

Everyone can jabber as much as they like about what quiver "works best" for them - emphasis on the word "them".  

So, I highly recommend trying out as many of the four quiver styles as possible, and at least under simulated hunting test conditions.  

At one point in time I borrowed a buncha different style quivers from my huntin' buds and spent a weekend frolicking in the woods with bow and arras  all those quivers - sure taught me a lesson about what worked and didn't work, for ME.

YMMV, but in reality it shouldn't.

Make that a GFA........it's still early.
