Bow Mate quiver vs Safari Tuff quiver

[Pfranchise]

Anyone here own and use a Palmer Bow Works Bow Mate quiver? http://www.palmerbowworks.com/index.htm
How do you like it? It’s very similar to the Safari Tuff quiver. Has anyone used the Safari Tuff and the Bow Mate, how do they compare? I’m considering either one of these just not sure which one. Right now I’m leaning toward the Bow Mate. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I have no experience with the Bow Mate, but I am totally satisfied with the Safari Tuff.  It has everything I want in a hunting quiver.  Quiet, easy access, rain resistant fletch covering, and rides very nicely next to a good-sized day pack so that arrows are still easy to access and neither one feels awkward to carry together.

I have owned both and ended up keeping the Bowmate.  Honestly it was almost a coin toss, both are good and work great.  Part of what pushed me to choose the Bowmate was that I shoot full length arrows and to me the Bowmate offers a little more guaranteed protection as it is a rigid tube which fully encapsulates the arrows.  I also rarely carry more than 6-9 (most of the time hunting only 3-6) arrows at a time so the Bowmate is fine in that regard.  The Safari allows a little more capacity there.  I have used my Bowmate for over 5 years now and it has held up superbly.  The Safari is a little shorter and flat vs a tube so some might like it conforming to the body profile more, but again it was almost a coin toss for me.  The foam in the bottom of the Bowmate is easily replaced as it is basically a section of pool noodle.  Good luck and enjoy.

Haven't used a Bow Mate...no reason to.  My only gripe with the Arrowmaster is Rod should have come out with it years sooner...it would have saved me a small fortune in quivers.  Rod is constantly looking to make it better...I've lost count of how many times he's tweaked it.  It's been tested in practically all climates and conditions by lots of hunters but specifically by Denny Sturgis Jr.  I like the teardrop profile vs. round (I've had other quivers that were round).  Best all-around quiver I've ever used...I use mine for everything, from tournaments to ground blinds to stalking to tree stands.
