how to use side quiver?

[Scott Watkins]

I recently read a good way to draw from a back quiver on here, and thought I would ask how to properly draw from a leather side quiver (arrow feathers pointed up and to the rear type, like the side stalker from 3R.)  Thank yall for helping out again.

They have a slot cut out, you reach in about 4 inches from the arrow tip, grab a shaft and slide it back 4-6 inches, then lift it out and over your riser, and nock it! I love these,  have one a buddy made me and one I traded for, only thing I hunt with now. Click on safari tuffs sponsor link and watch Rod Jenkins use his quiver he markets, they work smooth.

Thank you, My problem is when I have the arrow out and in my hand, I find myself pushing the nock into my chest and sliding my hand back towards feathers to rearrange my hand which is close to the arrow head to get arrow to string.  I figured there had to be a better way.  It does not seem very "indian like" to me.  It is not a smooth transition at all.  This is really the part I needed help with.  Pulling arrows out is not the hard part.

when you get the arrow started out of the quiver,lighten your grip a little.the arrow should slide down in your hand until you feel the feathers.now your hand should be by the nock end.hope this helps,steve

I sure prefer it to reaching over my shoulder for an arrow and "Flagging" game with all of the movement required. As an added benefit the fletching is pretty much hidden from view and protected from the elements.

I'll definately choose it as my hunting quiver.. I do however, enjoy seeing beautiful and unique back quivers at the various 3D shoots... in fact I have one in the planning stages.
