I have several of the EFA quivers and the new Slim Jim Kanati quiver. All of the quivers are very well made and work well on my many incredible Shrew bows. None of my quivers have the "angle" feature, but it certainly seems to be a good idea. Everyone has his preference in materials and design, which is why all of these great products sell well. The velcro works well and so do the rubber straps. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the attachment systems. I am very thankful to have Ron, Don and John (sounds like a singing group) producing their traditional archery equipment so we can all enjoy our passion. I found each of these three men to be very nice to work with. I have known Ron much longer and better than the others, so I admit my great fondness for him. I have been a very early adopter of Don's Talon gripping system and Totem pole when each of them were developed. They are innovative and effective and improved an already outstanding group of quivers. As soon as I saw John's new Slim Jim I had to order one since I am primarily a 2 blade broadhead guy. Ron designed the best short, light bows ever created, and Gregg Coffey is amazingly skilled at bringing Ron's design to life. Many thanks guys for all your contributions to this industry.

Hey Ron, How long are your arrows? Mine are full lenght GT's and still might get in the dirt at the knock end. Maybe an extension at the hood end would be the ticket for super long arrows?

Good point. I went to nock a field tipped arrow yesterday at a bothersome squirrel and it was pack with Carolina red clay. But this was from a straight mounted commercially produced quiver mounted to a Grizzly.  I had leaned the bow against a pine while re-vegetating my ground blind. The quiver angle concept has my attention for sure.

Bow quivers have sure come a long way. The first ones that I used back in the 1950's didn't have a hood to protect the broadheads. A very dangerous situation but we were willing to take the risk for the convenience of carrying our arrows at our fingertips on the bow. The first bow quivers that Fred Bear came up with only held 3 or 4 arrows, not enough fire power in those days of ground hunting and long shots.

I remember when Bear came out with the 8 arrow model bow quiver and I had to have one. I always kept it loaded to the max but the only time I ever need more than 4 arrows was one time in the early 60's when I was hunting on a military reservation and it took 5 shots to secure my venison.    :D

Then there was the time I walked through a corn field to get to my stand and when I got there I only had 1 arrow left in my 8 arrow quiver...the corn stalks had plucked the other arrows out of my quiver. It's funny now but it wasn't then..   :D  

Here's a picture of my 1958 deer camp, note the bare broadheads in my National bow quiver on my 1955 Bear Kodiak. I'm lucky I'm here to tell the story...   :)

Thanks Curt...I hate this thread had to go there.

Owlbait, I like that. It's a good policy to wine, not whine.

Ron, I missed the Saturday shipping, but they are packaged and we will take them to the post office to make sure they get off as soon as possible.
They should be there Tuesday or Wednesday. Will go Priority mail. I sent an extra totem so that you can use either camo or trad shaft on the black quiver.

does this strap on style quiver take from the preformance of the bow.  I have had a few selway quivers and always felt like anything on the limbs could take from the bows preformance

Reinmb, The only noticable effect on the bow is that it may stabilize it some, and it may even quieten the bow. If you put it on the fadeouts it won't affect the speed of the bow.   :archer2:

reinmb - I know what you mean about the Selways, I felt like they changed the flex point of my limbs. They were well made, but I didn't like them. These straps are different. You don't notice them.
