Most popular bow quivers?
« on: January 30, 2008, 01:30:00 PM »
I am wondering what brand of quivers most people use for their bows. There are so many out there to choose from. Which of the slip / clamp on ones? and for bows with the bolt on styles do the quivers fit most bows or are they specific for that brand of bow?

Thanks!

I picked up one of the Eagles Flight quivers last month and think it is just plan beautiful and well made.  You will be amazed how small it is, yet holds 4 arrows. I purchased the Cherokee model.

I have a Selway one, that I now think is just too bulky and ugly for a traditional bow.  I will be buying another Eagles Flight for sure.

I have always liked the Selway slip-on quivers.

Get some hot soapy water,Soap up the limbs,Slide the quiver into place,Clean the limbs with a wet paper towel and hang horizontal to "dry" overnite.

The next morning it will be practicaly "glued-on" and will not move or vibrate loose.

I give them.....    :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

I use one of the Eagles Flight Mini-max 4-arrow quivers myself on my TD Souther Draw Longbow and it rocks. It's light, it holds plenty of arrows and I can take it off really easy and throw it on another bow. The craftsmanship is great and it is pretty too (mine has some leather work of an eagle on it).

I also have a Zipper Quiver that I bought to match the bow but that really doesn't count. I like the Thunderhorn BOAs a lot but they are a little bulky.

If you want light yet sturdy and simple, go with the Eagles Flight. 3RiversArcher sells them for $55 I think. They have a 3-arrow model too.

I've used Selways for years.  Very sturdy and I like the way the lower bracket positions the arrows more parallel to the lower limb rather than protruding in front of it.  Would like an even smaller quiver though.  If the lower bracket on an EF was like the Selway's, I'd buy one, probablymore.

I don't like anything on my bow, I like to use a Hip Quiver I tried a few years ago and never got used to them they were noisy,and seemed like it added more movement for for game to notice, My opinion ~MIKE~   :archer:

I've been using the Great Northerns for many years now and have been very pleased with them.  I recently picked up a slightly used Kanati and it seems pretty nice, too.

I've used Great Northern for a few years now. It is a good durable quiver.Matter a fact I just order another one for a new Black Widow I'm having built.

I like the German Ridge quiver.  Pops on and off easily, but is very stable.

Great Northern Strap on adjustable for my 1pc and shawnees, Great Northern Quick release for my other 3 pc bows. Great workmanship.

I'm pretty much in that same boat too. I started using Great Northern quivers in 2001 and have had nothing but good things to say about them. A month or so ago I picked up a Kanati and really like it a lot too.

I also use a Skookum Dual Stalker from time to time.

Lance the strap ons are pretty versatile.I use great northern adjustable but have had thunderhorns as well which are great looking quivers.The great northern adjustable will fit the 1 piece bows and also alot of 3 pc bows.The rubber straps are long and will fit around the fadeouts of 3 pc Tds or the top of the riser.I also use a GN limb bolt model.Thier alot of other good ones like eagles flight and Kanati.

The quivers are not brand specific.So they fit other bow makes as well.The great Northern adjustable is a great all around choice for most bows IMO.i got a Thunderhorn Sidewinder on a longbow I just bought.It fits in bushings on the side of riser.Thier certainly are alot of styles to choose from from limb bolt models.,to strap ons,to slide ons and ones that fit bushings in the riser and spring arm styles as well.

I have Three Great Northern quivers, and a Kanati. No problems with the Great Northern. The Kanti is a nice quiver too, the only complaint about it is the foam insert wears out to fast. The arrows where starting to fall out of the quiver. It was used only a couple months, I bought a new insert and plan to modify it by glueing a piece of rubber bicycle tubing over the top of the foam insert. I think this will keep the arrows from wanting to back out of the foam. Has anyone that has a kanati quiver have this problem with the arrows wanting to back out of the foam insert?

The Great northern is a very well made, solid quiver.  It holds the arrows securely, and is easy to take on and off.  It also will not move on the bow.

I also have an EFA quiver, and it's great for one-piece longbows.  You harddly know it's there.  Not as easy to take on and off because you have to take the arrows out and slide the quiver parts onto the limbs.  Otherwise the shot vibration loosens the quiver.  They are very nice though.  The foam isn't that great, and seems to wear out rather quickly.
