Shooting With A Kwikee Mounted ?
« on: September 11, 2011, 02:58:00 PM »
Does anyone keep their kwikee quiver on all the time ? I can see where a bow quiver is very handy but if I used one I'd prefer to just leave it on while hunting. Do they rattle during the shot or while stalking ? Maybe there is a mounting trick that keeps them quiet? Appreciate any input guys   :thumbsup:

Mine had a little rattle to it, so I shimmed it with some split cowhide. Left it on all the time. It is still on that Jeffery.

Mine has never rattled. Once every 20 shots or so an arrow might fall out of it, but hunting they are in there high and tight so I gots no worries.

I love a Kwikee Kwiver. I have mounting brackets everywhere.  Sometimes it stays on the bow, sometimes I put it on the waist strap of my back back and sometimes on the tree next to me.

I put foam in the hood (yoga block materiel). Adn a piece of electrical tape around the quiver and riser if I know I will be stalking all day. Makes it as quiet as any quiver I have ever used. Not sexy but very versatile.

I also use the same arrows for several bows, makes it real easy to load up and go.

If you see my post about my first harvest you'll see my setup. I shot the doe with the Kwikee still on the bow with two arrows in it. I shot from a seated position. She was about 8 yards away from the stand and about 12 feet below me. It shoots the same with or without it.

It's the small 3 arrow version and is set up for carbon size arrows.

I use mine on local hunts all the time.....have a 6 arrow and a 3 arrow fold up model. If it was good enough for Paul Schafer , and Barry Wensel I guess it's good enough for me! I filled the hood with high density foam and use the thumb srew on the bracket to stop vibration....I also use them on a Mark Baker style side quiver holder. They have been around for a long time.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
