quiver advice

I detest bow quivers, hip quivers, back quivers, and just about anything else that holds an arrow, BUT... I still need one. I hunt with a Nimrod Pinnacle lumbar pack, and am trying to figure out how to attach some sort of quiver to the thing. I have a CatQuiver 7.5 or whatever their big one is, and really don't like it. What do you guys think of attaching one of the 3Rivers Woodland Basket back quivers to the pack? I can line the thing with fur and put in a foam piece in the bottom, and add attachment buckles so I can clip it in easily. The reason I don't like the CatQuiver is that i can't get the arrows back into the thing without removing the pack. The basket quiver seems to be the answer. Any thoughts?

Try it and see how it works for you. Quivers are a fairly personal thing really.

Have you tried a GFA Quiver?

Definitely a personal thing. I personally have to have a bow quiver. It adds mass, steadies my shots, dampens bow vibrations, and is the quickest way to get an arrow out and on the string for follow up shots. I suggest trying some different styles of bow quiver as there are many different designs and features available. Seems like you have pretty tried all the types of quivers there are. Adding a basket quiver to your pack will only turn it into a back quiver.

I was going to mention the Asbell quiver as well and the Mini Cat quiver might be worth looking at.It also has a carrying strap so doesn't have the issue you have with your 7.5.

Angus, you are right. I detest quivers but I still need one. I have several quivers and there is a glitch in all of them. My cat quiver is as you said. My back quiver and my hip quiver has there down points as well. On the other hand they all have there good points and different hunts requires one of them that fits the situation. I guess I am always on the quest for the perfect quiver.

How bout a Safari Tuff 'Arrowmaster' or 'Duiker'? check those out. My brother just bought one and loves it. Amazing how quick he can get an arrow out, nock, and 'go'.

Thanks for the input, guys; different quivers for different situations I hadn't thought about-trying to get a "one size fits all" approach here! When I'm at 3-D shoots I use a hip quiver, but it gets in the way of the lumbar pack I need when hunting out here. I'll give the basket quiver a try and see how it works. My problem with the cat quiver is that as I said, I can't get an arrow back into it without removing the pack, and it has a water bottle holder instead of a hydration bag, so the water sloshes around and makes a lot of noise. Back when I first got it, that was all that was available. They're great packs, but things keep evolving!

I had the same problem with my cat 6.5 I remedied it by tying tying the quiver further out from the back straps and the hip section so I can pull the quiver around so I can see the hood and bh section. So now I can grab bh in the front and my blunts in the back.
I actually thinking of using elastic chord to make it even better. But all in all I go through the non bow quiver option every year but by mid season I have a bow quiver back on my bows.
