Bow Quivers & quiet
« on: July 21, 2013, 08:11:00 AM »
Anyone else failed in their quest for the perfect "one-size-fits-all" bow quiver?  Not literally(most are adjustable/adaptable), but figuratively. I wouldn't use one when I shot long bows, but when I switched to recurves I admit that I came to like the additional mass.  I own two bows by the same maker, identical in length, poundage and limb construction.  The only difference is riser design, one being more reflexed than the other.  I have been through many bow quivers of all styles, 1-piece, 2-piece, with/without hood/gripper connectors, strap-on, bolt on, riser moint, fade mount, etc. My criteria is the bow must be as quiet/quieter than with no quiver at all and absolutely no added vibration or hand shock after the shock (like a tuning fork buzz). I have found that many will work great with one of my bows, but when I put it on the other I hear/feel something I don't like.  I know, I'm overly anal and just need to invest in 2 quivers, but I'm beginning to believe it's related to string silencing theory, i.e. that every bow has its own unique "harmonics".  I won't say what my current favorite is because if the theory holds any merit it obviously may not be the best choice for a different bow. I will say that it straps on at the fades, but I had to remove the shaft connector and now each end tends to want to migrate down the limbs after many shots.  Painter's tape and double-stick tape under the pads don't help.  My search continues!

For recurves I find the Kwikee Kwiver to be the best. Yes, that means holes drilled in the riser or riser inserts, but, for that type bow I find no other choice.

As for longbows, I too have a strap-on type that after multiple shots with the arrows on longbows I find the other arrows in the quiver eventually wiggle loose. For a hunting situation I don't think it would matter as you won't be shooting multiple arrows in repetition.

Good luck in your search.

Take care Richard. Hope you can make the Aug Sissipahaw shoot.

I have a variety of quivers and I'm sure you already do check but if your hearing noise make sure its not from the arrows...  

with that being said I have had no problems with noise from the quick release GN's that bolt under one limb bolt and the side bolt style GN's used on the widows.  
I know Mike Palmer would  drill the backs of the risers behind the limbs so you could use a lefty (if your righty) bolt on quiver and you could remove it without messing with limb bolts..

I'm starting to think the perfect style quiver for everything is a Asbell Style except ad one more quick release strap to secure it to your belt on the side so it doesn't move around too much when walking.

Every bow quiver I've bought (a bunch) has been better than the one it replaced.  That being said, I believe the 2-piece, 4 arrow Kanati side mount (solid, light and quiet) I put on my new Tall Tines is the "Bees Knees."

I've got an EFA 4 arrow standard, pretty much fits 3 two blade and a field point and it makes my recurve noticeably quiter. Haven't noticed hand shock from it either.

Kwikee Kwiver for me. Their warranty and customer service department is awesome.
