Having a hard time finding a quiver .. NEED HELP (No Bow mounted quivers!)

[The-Talon]

so I've been looking around at some quivers.. My homemade one just isn't really cutting it anymore.. I have been looking at the GFA quiver but I don't really like how exposed the arrows are.. I've also checked out the Arrow Master from safari tuff.. I think that may be winning so far.. Or maybe just a leather back quiver? I'm so torn.. I want it to house broadheads for when it's Bowhunting season and also be able to be versatile throughout the year for 3D and Roving..

What are you guys using ?? Any ideas?

Im having a custom side quiver built as we speak. Seems so versital and can do it all

[The-Talon]

That's awesome!! Can I see some of the persons work as well??

I really like my Palmer bow mate elite.  It is a lot heavier duty than most but it does everything that I need it to do.

Eagle Flight Archery makes really nice bow quivers that have a velcro strap and are very light weight.

Can't comment on the arrowmaster, but alot of people love them.

I use a couple Hill style back quivers mostly. If your in the market, hit up Soap Creek here on the forums, he does great work, and you can't beat his prices.
Recently been playing around with a Cat Quiver Mini, decided I don't care for it. Had a couple arrows fall out, snags brush, and have found my bowstring  trying to sneak its way into the broadhead hood while walking a time or two.

Another one I use often while deer hunting is home made. I took an old bolt on bow quiver (Seperate hood and grippers), and mounted it on a length of oak. On the back side of the oak, I mounted rifle sling studs so I could mount an adjustable rifle sling to it. Very quiet, and has worked quite well for me.

A Safari Tuff sure is hard to beat.  I hunt with Hill style bows, mainly from treestands.  I also own two Sunset Hill back quivers.  For treestand hunting the Safari Tuff has several advantages.  It is lighter, easier to pack in and keeps my feathers dry in the rain.  If I were more focused on ground hunting I would stick with the back quiver.

Just a regular old back quiver has served me well for hunting, roving, and 3D. I make my own.

For hunting I've used a Selway side quiver and now I use a Safari Tuff.  I like how they have held the broadheads and the ST offers full arrow coverage.  I've also had a nice leather side stalker style quiver I no longer own.   3d's and roving I use a back quiver--leather or basket.  I find that different quivers for different uses works best for me.

I have bounced back and forth between bow mounted quivers and side quivers - SafariTuff to Great Northern, etc, etc.

Right now, I have been using a Duiker.  I like the size, the pocket and as mentioned above the ability to keep my fletching dry.  I don't hunt in the rain much anymore but  stuff happens.

I have used the Safari Tuff on and off for about 5 years......it's Not perfect.......but it is really pretty hard to find fault with.

Over the shoulder, like this.  Out of the way and allows the use of a pack.

I was never able to find what I wanted, so I decided to build it myself. MOLLE set up so I can add, remove, or mount to a backpack. its a side draw, sits low so I can get through cover and if it gets wet wont soften up  like leather.
the is how my son sets his up.   [/url] [/IMG]  
it holds enough stuff to spend a night out.

mine has a bit more in it. But now I can set it up for exactly what I want to do. from light weight to an over night bag.

Damn both of you guys have cool quivers! I like the simplicty of Montereys, Also AZ yours is cool because it's pretty techy!

[Red Beastmaster]

I make my own leather back quivers. Nothing huge, just rover size. Wearing a back quiver is so natural for me that I never encounter the problems some have with them.

I also really like the GFA style I made from a used bow quiver. They are very cheap and easy to make. I'm not sure what the problem with exposed arrows is but they work great.

[BrushWolf]

I like the mini cat quiver. It works well for me when hunting. Keeps fletch covered and dry. Dont see why it wouldnt work for 3d.

[Randy Koleno]

If I don't use a bow quiver, I use the Arrowmaster. I like the pocket and the rain cover.

Like this one I fixed up back in 1983?

     

Now I'm using the Shrew Mantis quiver, it's a very versatile quiver and the leather workmanship is exquisite.  http://shrewbows.com/shrew_mantis.htm
