quiver selection for hunting and long arrows
« on: February 20, 2012, 07:58:00 PM »
i just bought a neet trimlite quiver but when i used it it was very awkward and because my arrows are pretty long (32 3/4" long) they were hard to pull out. what is a good hunting quiver that works well for longer arrows

A Great Northern or EFA set back toward the bow are hard to be beat.

I use a two arrow bow quiver and a tube quiver I made that keeps the arrows behind my right side.  I would suggest something like a Safari Tough quiver or similar for extra long arrows.  All of my arrows are shot at full length.

I would suggest something "ArrowMaster" style.

Maybe an Asbell style will work for you!

I made my own back quiver, its 25" deep and can hang a little lower than most and makes it easier for me to draw my arrows. I am 6'3" and it works. Also look into a tube style back quiver that draws from the bottom.

With my 30" draw length, my arrows are cut 32" BOP (back of point). With a standard 2 1/2" long broadhead (like a STOS with a heavy arrow setup), the total length of my arrows are 34 1/2" (when measured from the valley of the nock). So, maybe 34 3/4".

For me, I've found a GFA type quiver is the best, I can carry like a back quiver or as a side quiver. The arrows are firmly secured which means they don't rattle as I go over uneven terrain. Since these types of quivers come with an arrow, holders, it keeps my feathers from making noise because the arrows are secure and separated.

I have always liked a bow quiver, makes carring everything easier, and my bows shoot better with them. Have tried several brands of bow quivers, and have found the Kanati Bow Kwivers for Anneewakkee Archery are my favorites.

I prefer a tube quivrer or a side quiver like the safari-tuff quivers in brush.  My back quiver gets really hung up in the brush..  I have used bow quivers but prefer a naked bow.

I swiped my brother's Big Jim 5 arrow quiver and in my opinion it's the best quiver ever made.  Super quiet and rock solid arrow holding, it's the best.

I like the Bighorn quiver from cutting edge products. It is tough, quiet and very adjustable. They don't have a website. Contact me if you want their contact info. I have it here somewhere.
