Hip quivers for hunting

[RunninWild77]

Bow qivers just arent for me and I dont like the way they feel or look. I've got a catqiver that I've used for a long time but I really wanna simplify things and have been thinking about a hip quiver lately. But I cant find that much information on them. Any pros and cons? Wich ones would you recomend?

I use a quickee quiver with a leather belt attachment and I love it.  I have tried catquivers, back quivers, and bow quivers but I always come back to this setup.  When I get up in the tree I tie it around the tree using the leg tie down strap and it's out of the way.

Used a Vista hip Quiver for a couple of seasons.Worked good. Like stumpsniper I tied it to the tree when I got in My stand.

Selway makes a very good one also. I've hunted and 3d with one and I really like it.  Ben

stumpsniper, I agree with you, I have used all different kinds but the Mark Baker style quiver caddy seems to work well. Easy on and off, hang it from a limb or lay it on the ground behind you.....It just works well!!!

Runninwild - I've the same problem.  Hate bow quivers, back/cat quivers don't really work with a full backpack.  I tried a hip quiver, an Alpine that converted to hip with a leather belt attachment.  Worked ok, I'm thinking about one of the Thunderhorns - the plastic Alpine just offended my senses.  H

I appreciate the advise guys, I'm liking the idea of trying one of those kwikee sidewinder quiver. Its fairly inexpensive compared to other hip quivers.

Mark Bakers Quiver Caddy + Kwikee

It works well.

I agree with you all on quivers. I am a spot and stalk guy that can't stand a blind so for another $20 more than the Quiver Caddy and Kwikee I got a Steven Catts (http://www.hidehandler.com/side_quivers.htm) 3 arrow Side Hunter that is a beauty.  They work really well as long as you use 2 blades.

I used to use hip quivers and really like them but I found myself hunting ground that was pretty thick. If you're going to moving through thick country, I've found other quiver types easier to manuever and protect you arrows fletching). Just a thought...

[RunninWild77]

bowfiend, what other quivers are you takin about? I like my catquiver but.... I was thinking about trying something new.

I use a thunderhorn and love it cant want one on my bow so I use a hip. The only drawback I can see is that if you are carrying a treestand or something they are a little in the road. They are not perfect but close to it.  Widow

I have a James Greene 6 arrow hip quiver.

Stalking in open country it's very good.

Trying to crawl or push through thick brush wearing one can be hard work.

I crawled through a swamp wearing mine once and when I got to where I was going,I went to draw an arrow an there was none there,,,they were strung out in a long line across the swamp,,,had to laugh !.

Most of the time I find it easy enough to work with though and I use it quite a lot.

Have you considered a side quiver. I use a Jack Bowers side stalker & think it's great set up. It's quiet, holds your arrows securely, has a fletch cover & is easy to maneuver thru the brush. It has foam in the bottom for your BHs. & a removable wooden plug in the bottom. Works good for me.

I have a CatquiverII but lately have just been using a Neet hip quiver. It  was only like $25, holds 6. It came with its own nylon belt- i like that i can slide it around where i want it. Big ring on the bottm so you can hang it upside down. When slipping thru brush it is on the back side so i havent had an issue- when crawling under fallen trees i just reach down and steer it. Only prob- at least 2 times i fell down the mtn a ways and arrows were slung out- of course that can happen with any quiver.

I have run the gamut with quivers, and thinl I 've tried every variety out there. I have used the hip quiver and seem to be the easiest to use. I liked the Neet, but now use one from EW Bateman. They offer several styles!

this is what we use at my house home made hippers!

For simplicty and convience I don't think you can beat a bow quiver. For me its just practical. I hunted all last year with a selway hip quiver and for me it was a pain. It was rainy and we crossed a bunch of creeks and my broadheads were always wet. Going through the brush is hard. I bought a Eage Flights bow quiver and I really like it. Its very light. My arrows are always with my bow. Just my .02 cents worth.

7 years ago i used a hip quiver to hunt javies, hogs and jacks down in laredo, tx.  it works ok ...

 

then along came the safari tuff arrowmaster, and my off-bow quiver searching has ended for good ...
