My wife's quiver keeps itself angled and between the shoulder blades. the arrows are just behind and past the ear and very easy to get at, no wrestling or tight strap involved.  My own are Schulz Hill and Miller quivers and the arrows tend to be more off the shoulder.  I seen lots of times where big bodied guys with small quivers get to chasing them around their backs if the strap is too loose.  then if it does slip around a little downward tug at the strap will keep it in position for a few shots.  The elbow bump works for smaller people with quivers that can be pushed into position with just a couple of inches of adjustment needed to get the arrows to come up and around.  I would say that Mudd, you need a longer quiver if you want it to hang like a Hill quiver and a soft one that flattens out to your back contours.  However, you would like the way my wife's quiver works better.  I do not remember who made it, it is a fancy thing with snake skins insets, fur lined and embroidered leather.  Every time I touch it she says "what are you doing, that's mine."

I'm not exactly sure what you want to be shown in regards to back quivers, but Mike G's seem to work fine.

Nice one Ben . and Mudd

Using a back quiver properly depends largely on having the correct quiver . I use my bow arm elbow to bump my quiver around into position where my drawing arm hand is already waiting for an arrow,

Thanks for sharing the photos Ben!

One of the most user friendly quivers I have was a very inexpensive one made by John Hale who used to sell them at Cloverdale and other shoots.  John's quivers were neither right nor left handed but would work just as well either way--the strap was dead center of the quiver at the top and bottom.  Best quiver position I have found yet.....Dave

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing the back quiver I use with the beautiful Sunset Hill Nate made for me. Man, this quiver really holds the arrows well, and the broadheads stay nice and sharp. Of course, it does tend to ride a little more up on my shoulder than on my back. But it's still close enough to count as a back quiver, right?

P.S. Nate, once again----avert your gaze.

Here's a link to Nate's back quiver video for everyone. I was going to try and put one together, but since he offered I'll defer to this excellent video...after all he's the expert!  :notworthy:

Thanks Spanky. Good info, I don't think I can do that with my quiver. Looks like I need another one  :)

I know for a fact that I will need a different quiver.

Looks like all I will have to do on mine is move where the bottom strap attaches.

Mudd, the next time I am in Columbia I will bring my Miller and my backquiver and work with you on getting those arrows out by the nock and onto the string. Flint

Good video Nate , thats how I have been getting my arrows out of my back quiver for the last twenty years or so ...
Now , courtesy of Dave Mitchell, I'm getting my arrows out of a Nate Steen back quiver which is perhaps the best of its type I have ever used ...

Give it a couple of weeks and you'll find it a very easy and natural ay to get arrows out and onto your bow .

Nate-
I like the video. I learned how to use a backquiver and grab an arrow from John Schulz's video "Hitt'em Like Howard Hill".

One day I'll post pics of my basket backquivers. In Florida the weather is very hot, so I've been using basket quivers for 20years. I have one that was made in the Bahamas, one from Colombia, and one from Kustom King archery.

Good stuff thanks,
Darren

This is all very cool!  For all you who wish to teach the multitudes, this is a perfect time to step up to the plate.  

Lots of cool pictures...and thanks for posting them all...each one worth a thousand words...

If that is true, then a video carries the weight of a complete dictionary...and then again some.

I think a short video from many of you will be a tremendous tool, creating a powerful teaching environment with literally hundreds of willing learners who can become competent teachers for the future.

I am one of them for sure!

Allright Rik and the two Bens....

now you've done it.  I'm hooked for good.  Seeing guys withlongbows and backquivers facing down dangerous animals in game-rich country is just too much stimulus for this guy...

I'm starting an Oz hunting fund....How many guys need new longbows?  lol lol  :help:
