Lets See Your GFA Quivers Stuffed With Arrows
« on: January 13, 2010, 12:44:00 PM »
Guys,

I know this is an odd request, but I am seriously considering the GFA. Not too sure if any of you guys out there have pictures of your GFA full of arrows, but if you do can you post them?!

Thanks,
Matt

This is another home made one. Just an old Delta 7 quiver that I put a leather hood on, and an adjustable strap from an old briefcase.

I think George copied the famous R.W. quiver, may have to call a lawyer...lol!!!

I am looking at getting a GFA too, thanks for the pics!

I also like that hunt bag Brad has, where does one purchase such a bag?

Jason,

Bison Gear

My hunting buddy has one and loves it.  Works really well with back quivers.  I gotta get one too!

Those are great guys!

I just read a review on the GFA, and the fellow stated that the quiver tends to bend wood arrows if left in the quiver overnight. I find this hard to believe b/c I leave my wood arrows in my bow quivers all the time, unless they are flying out of my bow! And the stresses on the arrows made by my Selways would be the same as the GFA.

Anyone else experience this?

I've had mine for a few seasons now, and I love it. Its been elk huntin in the oak brush, and dragged through some of nastiest stuff, and never lost an arrow, its easy to tuck nder your arm as you move, quiet and light. you won't go wrong with it.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

I don't know what kind of arrows that guy was using, but if that's true, then every bowquiver out there does the same thing. I leave mine full all the time, and I have never had it bend my shafts.

Mine looks like all the others here, except that I use a fletching hood...

Never had an issue with mine bending arrows and I leave it loaded all the time (I shoot alums or carbons)...

For what it's worth, I have mine set up with the holder & strap bracket as far out on the support rod as I can put it...

Jason,
Ray's right on the money. It's a Bison Gear bag. I was drooling on it at the UBI banquet a couple years ago, but didn't buy it (cause I'm too cheap!), but my wife secretly did, and gave it to me for Christmas that year. Gotta love that!
