They have a place but NOT everyplace. Below 25 degrees it is crackly loud and below 15 degrees my Cummins diesel seems almost the same noise level   :scared:   . Same thing with Badlands daypacks and some nylon coats. Bummer! Cold test it before you plan on winter use.

Way too noisy for me too. I also didn't like the collection of debri in the bottom. Went back to my GFA.

Guess it is a "your mileage may vary" kind of thing. For this wet side of Washington hunter the arrowmaster is the cats meow.

I use my newer version arrowmaster for hunting.  I have quite a few different types of quivers but I always seem to go back to my arrowmaster.  I have been using two-fletched arrows so there is no problem with flattening out my fletching. For 3D I have been using a basket quiver I made.

I can elaborate, Mr. Fingers.  Here is a couple pics of some of my two fletch arrows:

They lay pretty flat in my Arrowmaster.  Although the quiver doesn't seem to bother my three-fletched arrows.

Ron,
So you get decent BH. Flight with just the two? What fletch jig do you use?

Put it in the jig and put a feather on. Take it out and rotate the shaft 180 degrees.  Put the second feather on.

Yup, good BH flight.  I use pretty big, 5-1/2 inch bannana cuts with quite a bit of helical.

They are attention grabbers, Tim.  Cheaper, too.  Only need two feathers instead of three or four!

I hunt with an Arrowmaster.  It has proven to be really durable, have used it for stumping, small game hunting, and deer hunting.  

My only complaint about it is its hard to keep your blunts and broadheads seperate.  You can fix that by cutting a slit in the foam insert and putting a plastic divider in.  My divider came from a jug of vinegar, and works great.  Makes it really easy to keep fluflus seperate from normal arrows too.

Been using one for years for hunting and 3-D.  Used it in CO, NM, GA, SC, MS--lots of different terrain.  No complaints at all...except I wish Rod had come up with it sooner.  That would have saved me a small fortune that I've spent on other quivers over the years.
