Any used/using a Skookum dual stalker quiver?

[inthere10x]

Anybody used/using a Skookum Dual Stalker quiver or the Solo Stalker Quiver (two blade)? How do you like them? Do they stay put or slide when shooting? Do you have enough hand clearance? I thinking of purchasing a one piece longbow and would like to have an arrow of two at my finger tips when hunting.

Mr. Inthere,

I'm with you, I need a bow quiver for my Tomahawk, and have looked at the Skookum's several times.

Waiting on those in the know!!!

I use both, a "single" on a Griffin, "dual" on a Shrew Classic Hunter.  Rock solid.  Some have said there are issues with hand clearance, but I don't seem to have it.  It's a "2 Thumbs Up" from me.  I don't like much on my bows, and this fits the bill.

It even holds a Deadhead!!!!!

Thats a pretty slick set up! Couple of questions. Is the leather sheath wide enough for bigger broadheads? I'm shooting Aboyer Wapitis Not the widest head out there but not the thinnest either.
Do the grippers hold onto carbons ok?
I'm growing a pretty big collection of quivers and none of them seem to work well, for long. Been thinking of going back to a bow quiver but can't stand the weight on the side of the bow.
Thanks

We at EFA make a small Mini bow quiver that weighs only about 4 ounces. You can use it without knowing it's there.

I use a dual stalker on every hunt I go on.  I shoot only longbows.  I have had no hand clearance issues but I suppose if you had really large hands it could be an issue.  Never had it slip, not once.  I use zwickey deltas and have not had a problem with them fitting easily.  Cannot tell any difference in the way my bows shoot with or without it on.  Also it is very easy to change from one bow to the next, takes only a couple of minutes.  Like BobW said, I give it 2 thumbs (3 if I had it) up.

see my comment about Deadheads & compare

I shoot really fat woods, so I can't answer that one.  Likely it will, unless you are shooting super-skinny shafts.

'Tis the curse of quivers - they are all a compromise..... we all have lots of quivers.... now the secret is out...

I have the skookum single 3 blade style. It fits 2 or 3 blades. I used it one time hunting and did not like it much. It now sits in the closet. I curently am using one of 2fletch's EFA quivers and love it!

If you want to pay for the shipping you can have mine

I use the 2 and 3 blade versions on my longbow and love them.  I keep other arrows in my Dawg Ware tube quiver and that one arrow always at the ready has saved me more than once.

I had clearance issues at 1st and had trouble getting my thumb between the riser and shaft, I repositioned the thing and prob solved.  I make once wrap of cloth tape around the bow then add the quiver and have no slippage.  I use 5/16 carbon arrows and have no problem w the gripper.  I recently got some smaller diameter shafts that rattle in that gripper.  I bought a new quiver and use it only with the smaller shafts and they hold perfectly.  I love this quiver!

I have a Skookum one arrow quiver 3 blade model which I reccomend. It works well with 2 or 3 blade. Ireally like mine, no problems at all. Carry my other arrows in a back quiver or Kwikee Quiver with a shoulder strap. It's like having nothing on your bow but an arrow at your fingertips ready to go. Can't beat it for t    he money. I give it a

Ditto the three blade model!  I use one on my straight longbows for that right there and ready first shot!  Works really well, and is a bargain.
