favorite longbow quiver
« on: January 09, 2008, 06:17:00 PM »
hey guys i will be getting my first longbow in sometime this month and i have no experince with a longbow. I have only used bow quivers on my recurves but i wouldnt mind trying out a back? maybe a hip? But i want a quiver that i can hunt with comfortably also. So what is your favorite quiver you use for your longbow?
Thanks for any input

I do not like to put bow quivers on my long bows. I use a Selway broadhead hip quiver for hunting with my long bows. I've hunted on the ground, in blinds, on tri-pods and ladder stands with never a problem. The Mantis quiver by Shrew archery also looks interesting to me. Good luck and good hunting.  :thumbsup:

I prefer a back-quiver.  I have hunted with bow quivers, but I am never satisfied with how the arrows off set the bow!  I got my eye on one of those strap over the shoulder side quiver, made by Art Vincent, at Cedar Ridge Leather Works.   Think that would work with the back-pak I use.             :thumbsup:

It depends on the bow. I have a Morrison Dakota that the BOA small fry fits just perfect. My other longbow is a narrow limb deep core and the Great Northern is just the ticket on it.

My favorite longbow quiver is the one that's missing one, and only one, arrow ... after a successful hunt! If it holds water and looks and feels good to you, get some. dave

I bought an'inexpensive ' bow quiver several years ago. It has the velcro straps that hold it to the limbs. The problem I have had is that I can't get the straps tight enough to stay in place after a few shots. This year, I cut four pieces of rubber from a file cleaner and put them under the straps. Problem solved. However, if I was to buy another bow quiver, I would lean toward the selway slide on. My friend has one and never has problems with it even when he changes bows. Mike

I really like the Great Northern adjustable on my longbows.  I like the weight it adds, the rods keep it in place and I think it makes the bow just a little quieter...Mike

Thunderhorn Small Fry Boa. Not as small as the EFA but smaller than the full size, hangs on well, and looks good.     Jr.

Well, as much as I hate to say it, mine used to be the EFA. But it has kept slipping on the limbs of my longbows so I bought a Kanati quiver and it stays put! I also prefer the kanati because it is set back, like the Great Northern, giving my bow hand more room.

Atlatlzoom, it is essential that the rubber/leather material be trimmed back as it states in the directions that should have come with the quiver. If that is done, and the quiver is then installed tightly, then it should stay put.

In more extreme situations you can put double face tape under the quiver which really locks it down.

We go to great lengths to make a quality product at a weight that it about half of what the competition is. We will also go to great lengths to make sure it works for you. Give me a call. I sent you an email.

Go to stickbow.com and look up a post "Home made longbow quiver". You might like the design. It stays in place and is an easy on and off quiver without having to unstring the bow.

I like a quiver than can be instantly attached/detached so I have used Kwikee Kwivers for the past twenty years. For less than what it costs to buy a lot of the "traditional" looking bow quivers that attach to the bow LIMBS (which I personally do not like), I was able to have a local leathersmith customize my Kwikees for me to match my Widows.

One trick is to use barge cement or use some 33M electrical splice tape on the limbs where the quiver attaches to.

I use the EFA on all my Longbows,but still take them off when in the stand.Never could get used to a quiver on a bow,even in my wheelie days it ALWAYS came off once the hunting started.I like a bare bow.I mainly use them to stow arrows while in transit.
