Give the rookie advice

[Converml]

Hi Mark, here are 2 links with pics of quivers and you can see how some attach. But then if you have mounts already there you have more options. With the added weight of a quiver it will affect how the bow feels but you will learn to compensate as you shoot going back and forth with then without a bow quiver till its not something you think about but will adjust to by just how the bow feels in your hand. It will take a lot of shooting but that's the fun part. Enjoy

Thanks.  Another noob question.  What size?  Lets say I want to carry at least 3 broadheads and a field point when I hunt.

I like it on the bow , when carrying it to the stand or stalking, but always take it off when I am in the tree, I practice shooting with it on, but I think removing it in the tree has become more of a habit, and if I change it will change my luck

Converml,
I just noticed you asked what I am shooting.  It is a T/D recurve...Dakota Classic.

Thunderhorn makes a real nice bolt on for a recurve that is tapped for it or it can mount under the limb bolts and Great Northern has a quick detach with a bracket that goes on the limb bolts. This one would be a better choice cause it is connected together for you to take off as the Thunderhorn is 2 piece.
I must say that for me, I never understood the need to take a quiver off a bow in a tree stand. I have a Boa small fry and also a regular size Boa. I use either one on my longbow and can put it on or off and not affect my shooting. Hunting season comes and it stays on the bow for 7 months.

I like the Safari Tuff quivers, particularly the Arrowmaster.  I've tried tons of different quivers over the years, bow quivers to back quivers.  The Arrowmaster is the absolute best, most versitile quiver I've ever used for hunting.  Easy to hang it on a tree when you get to your stand, fletchings are protected and covered.  You can see them at Safarituff.com.

For looks, it's hard to find one that compares to Art Vincent's Cedar Ridge leather quivers--absolutely beautiful, and functional.

Nobody can tell you what you are going to like....sorry, but you have to try them and find the one that works best for you.  What some love, others hate.

[awbowman]

Yep,  you need to check out the GN QUICK DETACH Quiver.  They sell two tuypes of bolt on quivers, you want the quick detach one.

Good info guys!  Thanks.  I have been looking at all the suggestions.

David Mitchell, with a comment like that my wife would be sure that you knew me already.  She would say that nobody tells me anything, much less what I like.  Maybe she is a little right.

Anyway, I know most of y'all are wrong already.  I just have to use the information you are giving me to find out which ones.

All quivers are a pain in the *ss.  

Bow quivers are nice because your arrows and bow are one unit and that's one less thing to keep track of.  They might not always make the arrow fly differently, but they make in FEEL different.  They also can hang up in think brush.  

Back quivers look cool but can be noisy and hang up in brush.  With enough practice you can keep them free of the brush, but you'll always have to be thinking about it.

Side quivers bang around on your leg and get hung up in the brush.

Plains-style quivers are quiet and don't get hung up in the brush too badly, but they can be a little tough to extract a broadhead tipped arrow from since the soft sides can catch the corners of the head.

I haven't found a quiver I really love yet, but I still have a few to try.  The next one on my list is the Safari Tuff quiver.  It looks like a good blend of the basic quiver styles, but without trying it out I'll never know.

sorry for the crappy spelling.

I attached a strap to my bow quiver and carry it to my stand. I've never liked shooting with one.

[reddogge]

I use a bow quiver designed for my Hoyt Buffalo and it is light and quiet. It doesn't seem to affect my shooting either. I like it for deer hunting and pig hunting.

For small game and geese I like the Arrowmaster. I can carry more arrows and varied arrowheads in it with ease. It's a well designed product.
