Shrew Mantis 4 Quiver
« on: September 12, 2007, 02:23:00 PM »
I really like the looks of these.  I like how it secures your arrows so they don't roll around hitting each other.  I'd like to hear from some guys & gals that have hunted with this quiver.

Thanks

I dont have one but I have wanted one I like the thought of the design.  They are very sleak and light weight.  When walking through thick stuff you can pull the quiver around behind you so you dont make a lot of noise with your arrows hitting trees.  When you need an arrow it they are easily accessable and silent to get out.  Hopefully somebody that has more experience will chime in soon and tell you more about them.

I really like the looks of them as well.  Personally, I'm not a fan of bow quivers and the 6 arrow mantis looks like the ticket for me.  I figure I can always carry fewer arrows with that quiver, but can't carry more with the four arrow mantis!  I plan to have one by next season, and would also like to hear some firsthand accounts on this quiver.

I love mine.  Very nice quality and a slick little design.  I've used on several different bows (including a Shrew) and it works well.  

If I'm out for squirrel, I still need 2 or 3 back quivers full of arrows, but for everything else, it's just right.

Howdy guys.  I make the Mantis Stalkers for Ron.

I have added something to the design.

On all new Stalkers I've added "D" rings so it can be attached to the side of a day pack.  You can reach back take out an arrow quieter than the breath from a dead man.

Anyone who owns a Mantis or one under my trade mark can send it  back and have this feature added at no cost except for  the postage.

Thanks everyone glade you like them.  It was my desire to design a "true" hunting quiver that would work for ground hunters and tree stand hunters.  Over the years they have been used on Russian, Alaska, the US and currently there is a traditional video being shot in Africa with the only quiver being used is the Stalker.

It don't get no quieter than that Art    :scared:  .....        :bigsmyl:  

That's a generous offer to update the Mantis quivers that are already out there. I know the ones you're sending me are currently updated.

Just a note to those interested, the quivers now being made are a medium brown instead of the dark brown and saddle tan colors shown on my web site.

I have one and the arrows stay very secure.  I shoot Carbon Express 250's.  Everything Ron Sells on his website is topnotch.  I am going to order one  of his custom bow mounted quivers today.

Thanks everyone.

Okay, I'm sold on these quivers.  Now I just need to decide on the 4 or 6.

It ain't what you're wearing but what you're carrying that counts.    :goldtooth:
