Hubting quivers???????

Anybody use hip quivers for spot and stalk hunting? If not what do you use?

Pics of any and all quivers would be great

Thanks

I use a Safari Tuff Duiker, pics on their site.

That said, I'm going to try a Kanati Slim Jim bow quiver on my new one piece long bow.

Made my own HQ used well over 20 years. It would swivel & balance from a centralized pivot point perfect for sneaking through the woods. Number of years ago, tried a heavy leather BQ & haven't looked back.

I've used a cat quiver.  I liked it because it protected my fletching, and stayed clear of brush as I moved. taking an arrow out was easy, however I would have to remove the quiver to put an arrow back.

I like the hip quiver for 3D, but that's about it. I tried using it last year in a tree stand. I spooked every deer that came near when I would stand up to shoot. The shafts would smack the tree behind me. It was loud walking into the woods with too. I never noticed the noise when shooting 3D, but you can definitely hear the feathers "swooshing" while walking alone. It's much worse if you have a pack on, and the shafts smack against the pack, or the feathers rub against it.

I have to agree with jmack, I prefer a backquiver myself. Hips are great for 3D and stumpin but I'm not a huge fan for hunting with them. But My friends feel that way about backquivers(they cant stand them) so, its all up to you.

I have tried almost every quiver out there at one time or another. the system that works for me is a Hip Quiver (Selway) I attach it to the shoulder strap of my day pack (Eberelstock).
     I do not attach the Quiver to my leg that causes them to flag the arrows. This works for me stays out of my way and since I use a hip quiver for practice most of the time, it is just natural to reach there for an arrow.

A lightweight bow quiver is great for hunting. It's one less item to worry about when you have it on the bow. It's convenient, won't affect your shot, except quite possibly making it quieter. I like a 4 arrow quiver for half day hunts, or 5 arrow for an all day hunt. My personal preference is 4 arrows with limb wrap attachment, with our totem and wing options on a short recurve or longbow.

I have a hip, a back and a bow quiver.  I like the back for general target and three d shooting.  It holds more arrows, and is good for walking around.  The hip quiver is alright but takes more time to replace arrow.  When still hunting I find it takes a lot of focus to keep the fletching from catching brush and making noise, or popping out of the arrow holders.  I have settled on the bow quiver for hunting.  The arrows move with the bow when sneaking through brush.  In the tree stand they are on the bow as it hangs or is supported in a bow holder.  It is also tough to forget them in the truck (Might have happened once or twice with the hip quiver    :dunno: )
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Ha! Mike, I once got to my hunting spot, snuck in while pitch black out, nestled into my tree and relaxed waiting for sunup. When it started getting pink light, I reached for an arrow and realized my back quiver was not hanging on my tree step. It was in the bed of my truck.
