Any quiver is a compromise.  My longbows have worn GN strap on quivers for many years.  They work best for me.

I can't believe these aren't everyone's answer. No other strap on can touch these with a 10 foot pole IMO. Light, sturdy, attractive.

Me either. A quiver on my longbows feels like it has a growth. They are convenient and I wish I liked them.

I can't agree with 2fletch more. All I have on my Shrew CH's are EFA lightweight quivers.  They fit like a glove.

Wish I liked them, they are convenient.  Don't even have a good reason against them, just don't like the way they break the pretty lines of the bow and the way they make the bow feel.  To each his own, I'm going to stick to my Catquiver for now.

I use Great Northerns on mine, they are light enough to not offset the balance of the bow.

For 90% of my hunting I do like a bow quiver.  Nice and easy to get an arrow on the string with very little movement. and gives the bow a little more stability.
If it is raining I'll use a cat quiver so as to have dry feathers.
I practice with and without..

Thunderhorn small fry for me. Good looking, light weight, secure on the bow. For pure function and efficiency you just can't beat a bow quiver. I have used a catquiver, side quiver, back quiver. Always keep coming back to the bow quiver.

I would really like to try a single arrow quiver for my longbow, but have no idea what is available.  Not had much luck at all searching.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I like side quivers, especially those like the Safari tuff arrow master.

Personally, I wouldn't use a bow quiver on a 1-pc longbow. I have quiver bushings installed in the risers of my recurves and that seems to work okay for attaching a bow quiver. I just don't like anything touching the limbs.

To each his own ...

I think Flying Dutchman spoke for me.  I use a hip quiver, generally.

There's been a quiver on my longbows since the 80's, mostly a Great Northern.  I have an Asbell, but I haven't hunted with it yet.  Any quiver is a compromise and for me the bow quiver is by far the best so far.

Two Great Northerns in all those years and I still have both, altho the gripper on the first is getting pretty stiff.  Says a lot for the GN's quality.

I used to use the Thunderhorn bow quiver. I have now bought an Arrowmaster back quiver and love it. No more bow quiver for me.
