As to the 3 rivers reviews about the EFA quiver slipping and the poor quality leather. When I mount my quiver I use a paper towel and isopropal alcohol and clean the limbs and the inside of the mounting brackets. I then tighten the straps good and the quiver has never moved. As for the quality of the leather, I am on my 3rd season with mine and it still looks new, seems fine to me. I would not hesitate to purchase another one or recomend them to anyone.

I have had one in use since at least 2005, not a single quality issue with it.

I have owned two and both have exceeded my excpectations.  When strapped to the limb, they have NEVER slipped on any of my bows.

I ordered mine online direct from EFA over the weekend and I've already received my shipping confirmation!  Doesn't get any better than that.

EFA is the lightest thing that holds 4 arrow I've ever seen. Ol' Don makes a dandy quiver.

Someone asked about the weight of a 4 arrow quiver. The 4 arrow Maxi and Cherokee standard size quivers weigh about 4.8 - 5.0 oz. That's lightweight enough to have almost no effect on how the bow shoots.

Oh yes,thanks for the nice things that many of you have said about us and our EFA products. We look constantly to improve our products, and our guidance comes from you.

Don,

Sent you an email yesterday.  it is about time for you to design a quick detach model for us guys who like to remove our quiver when we get to our treestand...just a thought.

Thanks for the great quivers that you create.

They detach in about 3 seconds as is. I don't know how much quicker you want.

You are correct in some respect, but then attaching back with the velcro is not my preference and a little more difficult than a quick detach/attach system.

Rick,we have dedicated much time toward a quick detach system but might do so in the future. We haven't had many guys ask for it because the quiver is already pretty fast to install or remove. Besides we are busy  looking for ways to improve our products and bring new ones to the market.

Just as a teaser, we should have a new concept quiver ready to show before the end of the year. It's one that I'm really excited about but can't talk about yet. Shhhhhhh.

Don,

I weighed mine again today. It read 4.4 oz 3 out of the 4 times I weighed it.  As I mentioned earlier, I had previously weighed it and gotten 5.0 oz.....guess my scale was out of wack that day.

I feel better now that your scale and my scale are reading the same.

2fletch, got my 3 arrow mini today and am very pleased.  When I first took the package out of my mailbox and saw the name on it I was trying to figure out how it could be a quiver.  I replaced the 20yr old + compound limb bolt quiver off my Brack Drifter and replaced it with the 3 arrow limb bolt.  I'd had the other one on since the bow was new but the black plastic 8 arrow quiver never looked right.  I haven't shot with it on yet but I'm sure it will be great.  Thanks 2fletch and even though this wasn't my post thanks to the rest of you that turned me on to these quivers.  I have another riser being built by wes so I'll be ordering another one soon!
