quiver ?

[B-DOG]

I GOT MY NEW 50# TOMAHAWK LONG BOW LAST WEEK AND LOVE IT. ITS BEEN SHOOTING GREAT FOR ME. I WANTED TO START SHOOTING WITH THE QUIVER(SELWAY SLIDE ON) I KNEW IT MAY CHANGE A LITTLE BUT DID'NT REALIZE HOW MUCH. IT SLOWED IT DOWN QUITE A BIT. I WENT FROM BEING ABLE TO SHOOT 2016, 2115, AND 2018 TO ONLY 2016'S, MAY TRY TO SLIDE TIGHT TO THE RISER. DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT? HOW MANY OF YOU USE QUIVERS OTHER THAN ONES ATATCHED TO THE BOW?

         THANKS BENJI

I like the convienence of a bow quiver, but hate the added weight. I have also found manufactured quivers to be too heavy. I made a 2-arrow, 2 piece tape on quiver that weighs less than 5 ounces. I also carry a home made back/hip quiver (arrows remove from the bottom) that silently holds another 5 arrows.

I sometimes use a strap on quiver, a Thunderhorn Small Fry. I have not had a problem with it. The quiver should attach as close to the riser as possible, and avoid the working sections of the limbs.

In looking up the Thunderhorn site, I see that they have a new model strap-on with only one point of attachment. Interesting.

The other bow quiver that I may use is a Kwickee Quick-3. This requires bushings in the bow, but is light, quiet, and doesn't alter the flight qualities of the bow. It "unbalances" the bow for carry, but is one of the most carefree pieces of equipment I use.

I like my side stalker quiver, but use a gn limbbolt quiver on my mikuta recurve

Make sure the Selway is well down onto the fade outs.  Even then the weight creates torque that often results in lighter spined arrows.

I'd suggest the EFA mini.  Great quiver and almost no  shooting effect on the bow, makes a Selway seem like a behemoth.

They are a sponsor here too.

Been using Selways since they came out.  Never had one affect arrow speed that I could tell.  Does change the weight distribution on the bow some, but I've found the added weight of a bow quiver helps stabilize the bow.  Just make sure the quiver is slid as far onto the riser  fadeouts as possible.  Any bow quiver will mess up the bow if it's well out into the working section of the limbs.
