Quiver Performance

[Davo]

I was curious about quivers.  I shoot my compound a lot and shoot without my quiver in my treestand.  Now that I am shooting traditional for late season.  Since traditional hunting does not use a quikee quiver much are there any noise vibration issues to deal with and what is you over all opinion on quivers and types.

I really like the strap on quivers.  I feel it gives the bow some needed weight to make it more stable and the strap on models seem to make my bows quieter.  I think they act kinda like limbsavers...Mike

I perfer to shoot without a quiver on my bow but haven't found a better way to carry arrows through the woods.  I use a Great Northern strap on quiver and just take it off when I get settled in.  It's sort of the best of both worlds I think.

I like Delta quivers, specifically the 4 arrow model with two bolt on brackets.

I reverse the brackets to set the quiver forward of the riser.

As the brackets can slide up and down the central square aluminum quiver shaft, the vertical balance of the loaded quiver can be adjusted.

By playing with its inherent adjustability, it can be balanced like an adjustable stabiliser for perfect in hand balance.

Its the only bow quiver I have ever seen that positively improve bow balance in hand.

Davo, Eagle's Flight Archery makes ultra light "mini" bowquivers for those who want the least amount of weight added to their bow.

A bowquiver can quieten a bow, but a heavy bowquiver can change where the arrow impacts the target. Some will say that a heavy bowquiver acts as a stabilizer, and I would agree with that. The question is do you want a stabilizer that causes your arrow to impact left of the target? Personally I like for the arrow to hit where I point it, and not have to make a mental adjustment on each shot.

You can see two of the EFA quivers on the "sponsers classified" or more of them on the EFA website in the "Sponsers" list of Tradgang.

Got my Mini-Boa yesterday and shot it last night - it too is a strap on and I think it is quieter. I actually felt more comfortable and confidient shooting with the quiver in place than before.

I have never tried any of the strap on models, but I own a Selway slip on model.  I just prefer to shoot my bows without quivers so I still use a hipquiver.  Am thinking of trying a back quiver for next year.

I'm  partial, but the quiver caddy is one to check  out.

me i love lakota style quivers they are not noisey easy to carry you can hang it in a tree if ya hunt from trees. plus ya dont have a quiver that makes ya bow lop sided

I'm never ever been a fan of bow quivers, but since trying out an Eagle's Flight strap-on, I'm a bow quiver convert and disciple!  They're so dang light and small I hardly know they're there.  Got a 4 arra one for each of my take down longbows.

i have a back quiver that the strap adjusts to be long enough to be like a lakota quiver. i'm gonna make another one and put a belt loop in it for quick adjustment.

[Davo]

I certainly like the looks of the bow with the quivers.  For this year I will go with a more modern back quiver only because I have one.  So far my set up consists of 45# grizzly pulling at 48-49 on my scale, 2016 cedar clad aluminum arrows feather fletched,  a camo fur lined back quiver, leather fingers shooting split style, magnus snuffers 125. Right now I am only consistent to 15 yds but I guess bowhunting is about how close not how far. I read somewhere there are spacers to add a bit more weight up front anyone know where a fella can get those.

I've used bow quivers more than any other type over the years, love the convenience.  Eagles Flight is the way to go, closest thing to not having a bow quiver and still having one.

I also like Stalker and GFA over the shoulder under the arm style quivers.

[DeerSpotter]

I also Have Eagles Flight quiver,(3)arrow, and it does not affect the performance of the bow and it is lite.  I use it on my longbow, and now I have a three-piece takedown Turkey Creek Longbow, and it transferred quite well on that one, it does not slip or slide, and it is quiet.  The one that I have is $45, check them out he's one of the sponsors on here,

Exactly why I use GN quivers.  Easy on and easy off while I'm hunting.  dino

Great Northern makes a very fine bow quiver.  I did an on-the-bow comparison between a GN and an EF - and the EF was noticeably lighter and smaller, and about half the price of a GN.  Both bow quivers are extremely well made of the superb materials, and both will zip on and off almost too fast.  If arra quantity is an issue, the GN holds 5 while the EF holds 4.  Take yer pick, both quivers will do the job.  It was easy an easy choice for me to go with the Eagle's Flight.  YMMV.
