Anyone Own or Use the Spot-n-Stalk Pack/Quiver or Have an Opinion??

[Nala]

Hey all,

I seen this pack/quiver today at Bass Pro and tried it on.  It felt really nice and I think it fills a lot of needs.  It allows you to carry your arrows at your side AND enough gear for a day in the field.

If you haven't seen or heard of one you can check it out here:

I have been thinking about quiver options for this hunting season.  Of course I have been thinking of a Safari Tuff, Dawgware and others.  I am trying to keep the cost down as much as I can.  I think a quiver that allows you to carry other gear is a plus.  It eliminates the need for a fanny pack or some other type of pack.

So what do you think of this Spot-n-Stalk quiver?  Have you ever owned or tried one?  I'd really like to hear from owners and see what they say about them, but ALL thoughts and opinions are welcome for sure.

Let's hear what you think.

Thanks for the help and your time.

I tried one of these and the one that goes around the tree one year.  I used the quiver that was on my compound bow.  I don't think most of us need to carry a lot of gear, so much so that we can't carry in our pockets.  The Safari quiver looks to be the best built and thought out quiver out there.  You can carry a little stuff, easy arrow access, and fletching protection!

I've used a bow mounted quiver for more decades than I can remember. Never thought I'd ever give mine up.  A few years ago my hunting buddy got me to try a Cat Quiver. I think it's a model 6. It has a fanny pack with shoulder straps and a quiver. I also use a Skookum single arrow bow quiver with the Cat Quiver. This leaves one arrow at my finger tips and I can place it on and off the string in a heart beat.

I really like it.

My bow is light and balanced. My fletcthing is out of sight and protected from the rain and brush. The Cat Quiver is low enough where I can duck under overhangs and stalk through brush. The arrows come out real fast and they are right at hand.  The pack is VERY well thought out by a bowhunter. The strap that runs across my chest works great for holding my binoculars out of the way and ready to shoot.  

I have to take off the pack to put arrows in the Cat Quiver. That's why I use the Skookum.
However, I have read posts by other members who say they have no problems replacing arrows in the Cat with the pack on.

Looks noisey?

I tried one when they first came out with the wheelie bow - if you load them down with gear the pack doesn't center itself well, and tends to try and crawl around you.  The idea with the quiver attachment is nice, but as you're attaching a bracket and THEN the quiver, it sticks out a bit and flopped more than I cared for while walking.  With short arrows I didn't have as much of a problem with the fletchings catching everything, but with long arrows I felt awkward.  The original material was kind of loud, don't know how the new material is.  I tried it for one run in the woods and wasn't impressed - so Cabela's got it back.

Of course, your opinion might be different.

I had an Arrowmaster for a bit, great quiver and very well thought out.  I just found myself wanting to try something new, so I went to an on bow quiver this year.  I tried a Catquiver once also, but didn't like that I couldn't have an odd broadhead in it and grab it easily without nicking myself - but I'm clumsy sometimes too.  Also felt heavier than my Arrowmaster.  Can't comment on a Dawgware.  

If you want an enclosed, modified back/side quiver with a bit of storage you just can't beat the Arrowmaster in my book.  Rod pretty much nailed it in the design.  I'd keep my eyes peeled in the classifieds for a used one - they show up every now and then.

for a quiver off the bow the Cat quiver is by far the best I've come accross.  as long as you have it adjusted correctly for arrow leangh

I have the spot and stalk.I used it some chasing hogs and it worked pretty well.I bought it because it is a lot cooler than wearing a daypack on your back in hot weather.I had no trouble in the swamps so it would work real well in more open terrain.It makes no noise but I am so use to useing tube type quivers that it is not as fast getting an arrow on the string as with them.Still I thought it was a good product and use mine when I need a small pack instead of a larger one.

I have one and use it during a day hunt where loads of gear is not needed. Hangs in the tree with me if on stand and with the arrows under your arm you have good control of the quiver when still hunting. It is a good tool to use as it was designed. Wouldn't want to try and bivy with it though. All in all a good day pack.
