side quiver recommendations
« on: August 05, 2011, 09:17:00 PM »
I have decided after using a bow quiver for many years that I want to try hunting without one so I have been looking at three different side quivers.  The Vista side quiver, GFA side quiver and the Safari Tuff. Any advice on which one to purchase?  The Safari Tuff is the most expensive, with the Vista the least expensive and the GFA in the middle.

i love my GFA and Safari Tuff---the ST does a better job of hiding bright fletches (unless you get one of G.Fred's fletch covers with your GFA) but i find the GFA easier to keep out of my way in real nasty stuff

I do use a side quiver, but none of the three you listed.  The owner of a trad archery supply recommended the Great Northern Sidekick to me, and I really like it.  Good feel, very adjustable and quality built.

I second the Great Northern Sidekick, very light, sturdy and completely functional.

Look at Mark Baker's quiver caddy!

I agree with Badwithabow the raptor side quiver is an excellent choice.

Love my GFA.

Thanks for all the ideas.  I'm going to look at them all.  I've looked at the great northern and raptor and they look the same as the gfa or vista but the price is more because they are leather.  Don't know if the leather is worth paying for in a quiver.  The only reason I am switching is because my bow doesn't fit in my Lone Wolf bow holder with the bow quiver and arrows attached.  Thus far I haven't noticed any difference in my shooting but I do like the lighter feel of my bow. I'm gonna have to google that Mark Baker Quiver caddy.  Haven't heard of that one.

My two favorite side quivers are my GFA and my Jack Bowers Chief.
