Minimal bow quiver.

I guess it depends on where/what you hunt, but having a pack on my back, and a bino harness on my front, and a quiver over my back/side is just too much, and gets snagged on all kinds of stuff. Besides, if I'm truly hunting, I only need a few arrows anyway.

I like my side stalker a lot. It can be at your side, or slide around back quickly for sneaking through brush. Never wore my pack while stalking though.

Bow quivers are not my first love but there is no better solution when you have a pack on and you are trying to be silent working your way through brush.

I hunt with packs and binos often and prefer a sidestalker quiver.  

Off and on I swap to my greatnorthern longbow quiver also slung side stalker style using 550 cord, remove the rubber straps.  It's super light compared to my chief.  Yet my chief is more of a stalking quiver.

This style takes a little getting used to.   Once u do you'll never go back.  

Bow quiver are handy but I don't like the added weight.

Back quivers are nice but tough to use on backpack hunts as are cat quivers.   Cats when an option are a pain to get out of and crawl with.  

They all are good and bad.  Youll have to try and see what u like.  :-)

I would try the safari tuff arrow master or the bow mate elite side quiver.

i've used both the safari tuff arrowmaster and duiker and i LOVE the super lightweight duiker - it's one tuff cookie that can hold more shafts than needed for the battle of the little big horn.   :D

Bjorn, I love those chocolate colored feathers. I use a back quiver for everything, and you can secure one on the side of a pack if needed.

I use a fanny pac and a back Quiver.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

I am using a bighorn bow quiver from cutting-edge. Solid and quiet.

I am tired of my back quiver catching branches when I am sneaking thru the woods.  I have decided a bow quiver is the way to go when wearing a pack.  I want it easily removed when I get to my stand. I'm thinking EFA with the shaft that holds it all together as 1. Going to order one for my new 59'er.

were did you get that two arrow quiver. I am liking that. the two arrow plus my catquiver would be the "cats meow" combo.

i like my solo stalker on the bow, combined with a cat quiver- holds all my gear- and protects my arrows really well in the rain and the bush. and the solo stalker is quick, easy, and quite.

With your Solo Stalker - have you tried the 1/2 piggybacker lower holder?  I have a similar set-up to the below images on three of my bows.  Very handy stalking.  And standing or in a blind a fast follow up shot.

Everyone knows my preference....works for everything for me.   This is a new model quiver built by Tim Roberts, FarrWest Leater, called the Absorkee and attached to a Quiver Caddy, which he is now making.  Some quality work in this design, and a lot of thought put into it.
