Bow Quiver for 3-D?????

[woodchucker]

I have been a "Die-Hard" backquiver man for years. A few years back,I started using a Selway Slide-On Soft-Kote bowquiver for hunting,but I always took it off in the summer for 3-D. (I like to carry LOTS of arrows LOL)

My oldest son Kevin has decided to leave his on all year,and I'm kinda thinking the same thing.....

I was wondering.....Does anyone use JUST a bowquiver (and the arrows it holds) for 3-D?????

What do you do when you run out of arrows?????

I personally do not care for bow quivers, and although there are several people in our club that shoot various bows with quivers on them,  the majority of us use some type of 3D quiver. But if I were you, and I was used to shooting with a bow quiver, then I would leave it on all the time so it wouldn't change the bow's balance and feel.

I like bow quivers,they add alittle wgt. and balance to the bow to me.and to keep things the same all yr round I shoot 3-D w/mine on as I hunt w/it on.I use a BW GN and never found that shooting 3-D that 5 arras wasnt enough.There, ya went and jinxed me now    now that I said that,next shoot I go to there will go all 5.By the way you shoot Tri-County.

I have used a bow quiver for 3-D and it works good.  For me it depends on the bow I am using.  If I take my takedown recurve it has a bow quiver on it that never comes off.  So if I take that to the 3-D range then I use the quiver that is on it.  My other bows I almost always use a back quiver when shooting 3-D.

Chuck,

Lke Pete, I normally use just a bowquiver for 3D.  The reasons being the same as Pete for weight and balance, but also because I use a bowquiver for hunting.  It just makes sense to use the same type of rig for 3D as you would hunt with.  At a normal 3d of 28-30 targets I've never felt undergunned.

C'mon Scott.....If I shot like you and Pete.....

I'd come home with all of my arrows and I wouldn't be asking this question LOL    

[mcgroundstalker]

Hey Chuck!... Don't let Scott sell you a bill of goods...He has a 14 arrow bow quiver that he uses for 3D...  :p  ...

I am new to this and young so I like back quiver so I can take alot of arrows. I shoot 3-D on sunday morings after a good saturday night      I use alot of arrows

[JEFF B]

i use a lakota quiver hold heaps of arrows if you need them.  

[styckbow]

I have used both a bow quiver back Quiver as well as a 3-d hip quiver and my two favorites are the bow quiver or if I am feeling unable to hit the broadside of a barn (happens a lot) Itake my plains style quiver it holds about 8-10 arrows and is long enough that if it rains my feathers don't get wet

[BTH]

I use a bow quiver for hunting and keep it on for 3D. I'll use one arrow out of it then the others come out of my hip quiver. Kind of nuts, I know, but I figure that as close to first shot weight and balance and I've always been taught to shoot and tune the bow like it's the first shot on an animal. This year I've been pretty good at 3D and all my arrows have come back off the course with me. But I still carry a dozen or so just in case.

[southpawshooter]

Chuck,

If ya' need more arrows then use the bow quiver and an auxillary quiver.  A small back pocket quiver is ideal for carrying a few extras.  The point is that if you are committing to using a bow quiver for hunting, then use it for all your practice as well.

[woodchucker]

Thanks Scott!!!!! I think Kevin and I will try something differant this year.....

Instead of shooting for "score".....The first one to run out of arrows is the "LOOSER"!!!!!!!!!!

Or.....The one at the end with the most arrows WINS    

[Bard1]

I am like the others. I love my bow quiver for the reasons stated.  When I do 3d shoots I keep my bow quiver on, and leave one arrow out of it.  I then carry my shooting arrows in a lakota quiver or hip quiver.

I often use a bowquiver on longbows for 3d.I just carry it for weight and keep the arrows I am shooting in my back pocket.I use a backquiver for carring a lot of arrows to the practice butts sometimes but never carry over 3 on the course.

[Frank V]

I shoot a longbow & don't like a bowquiver on it. I use a backquiver & really like it I also hunt with a backquiver. I use the 3-D courses as training grounds to get the bugs worked out of my hunting rig. This is my method. Good luck. Frank

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I love the backquiver for 3D's. But I am like others here, in that it is important to shot with your hunting setup. So, I have my bow quiver on the bow with a couple of flu-flus in it. But there is a certain satisfaction, for me, having the backquiver I made full of arrows I made.
