Kwikee Quiver First Impression
« on: December 22, 2016, 01:50:00 PM »
I recently grabbed an older kwikee quiver off the auction site. I was always curious about these because I used to think they looked sweet on Barry's silvertip in October whitetails. I finally had a chance to try it out on my widow today. This thing is pretty sweet. I was concerned they would rattle and be noisy like other "compound" type quivers I have tried. However, this one is rock solid and I barely notice any extra noise when shooting with it on. I guess uncle Barry had a good reason to stick with one for so long. It also looks great on my PSA. I like that you can quickly take it off if need be and my feathers no longer get smashed when I have my bow in it's case. Anyone still using the Kwikee? Do you guys leave it on the entire hunting expedition or take it off once in your spot?

I utilize the Kwikee Quiver on my Black Widow HS60 and love it.... I swap out between the larger Quiver like yours and the more compact 3 arrow model with a piggy backer for blunt tipped arrow... I've used Kwikee Quivers for a long time. I've seen some folks wrap theirs in leather for some pretty nice looking units! I can shoot with it on just fine, but if I'm in a tree or blind I detach it...

They are great quivers. I always leave mine on during hunting so I practice with it full of arrows. They are quite.

I use one a lot.......when I get to my spot I take it off. I have 3,4 and 6 arrow models.

Occasionally you can still find an "old school" hooded Kwikee that has the running deer logo on the hood. Those look fantastic on traditional bows! Plus Ive seen several guys cover the Kwikee hood in leather, which looks great also.

Kwikee's are all I have ever used in 40 years, well for at least as long as they have been available in Alabama, lol!
Used them on recurves and countless compounds and can't wait to put one my Widow PSA IV whn it arrives!

I don't shoot with a quiver on my bow, so I have extra brackets mounted on my climbing stands. I always have a handy place to put the quiver once I'm in the tree.  Also have an extra bracket to screw into the tree if I am hunting out of a lock-on.!

I never take my quiver off during hunting season. Doesn't seem to bother my shooting. I really like them.

I actually seemed to shoot better with the bow quiver on. Never bothered me at all..

An effective/versatile bow quiver especially for recurves, you won't find one that attaches/ detaches faster.

TSP i couldn't agree more. That's what i like most about the kwikee. The dilemma i face now is whether or not to leave the kwikee on or put my thunderhorn back on.

I take it off when i get set up. I find them a little noisy when left on the bow.

Best, most versatile quiver out there in my opinion. Easy on. Easy off. I detach when I get to where I'm going. I've toyed with bolt on and slide on quivers in the past just because I see alot of guys that like them...but they just don't won't for me. Kwikee user for life here.

I used one on my compounds for years, but after switching to traditional I use a Fred Asbell side quiver. I have a question, are you guys drilling holes in your bow for the quick detach mount or is there another way to mount them? I would always have the quiver on my compound bow on the way in and out but would take it off and hang it in the tree while on stand.

I added a quick disconnect to a couple of my tree stands so I could remove the quiver from the bow and attach it to my stand while hunting. I never liked a bow quiver while hunting and where I mounted it I could easily get another arrow if needed.
