quivers for hunting
« on: December 19, 2016, 09:29:00 PM »
What kind of quiver do you guys use for hunting? I have a black selway, but have seen a lot of guys using back quivers. Still others have hip or pocket quivers, but I have trouble imagining that style being good for hunting. What pros and cons do you find in your decisions?

i have a selway quiver also, i like it just make sure arrows are secure good in it, also make sure you have enougharrows in it so it can lay on your lap if on the ground, i really dont have any complaints about mine, also it will stretch in place so you may have additional adjustments breaking in. good luck

cool...no back quiver guys yet huh? I was thinking that I would hunt big game with my selway. However, a large back quiver would hold more arrows for say a small game hunt. I was kinda hoping to hear from guys that still hunt with back quivers because my concerns are with getting it hung up or making noise while stalking.

I tried everything and I settled on a bolt on bow quiver. Nothing is perfect.

Back quivers work fine. All quivers have limitations and require certain skills to use.  If you are not a die hard Hill guy, use a back quiver for small game only.  Hold lots of arrows.  I don't get stuck but I know to do certain things.  

I use one at times, and three or four other kinds at times.

I don't like a quiver on my bow. I use a Ridge Line side quiver by Farr West Leathers. Farr West is a site sponsor who makes all top notch stuff!

I use a bow quiver as well as a GFA when I feel the need to go barebow.  I do have a Hill style back quiver but it only gets used stumping or for 3D shooting.

I used a selway for many years but switched to a Great Northern strap on. I like the hood better and how it captures a wood arrow. I think it has less vibration as well and increased weight and better balance. All things I look for in a quiver.

Any of the Great Northern quivers for me. Strap on , bolt on or quick detach. I have them all.

Another vote for the Great Northern Quivers!! I have a takedown longbow and have used the same bolt on quiver for the last 24 years. Never an issue and has performed flawlessly. I tried the other styles and have never seen a hunting advantage. I can shoot with it on my bow when elk hunting and take it off in a deer stand.

I do use a back quiver when I small game hunt but for deer hunting on stand I think they are to noisy.

I use a selway quiver which works really well. I actually find that I shoot better with the added weight.
