Bow quiver recommendations?

I got a new short bow on the way I think I want a bow quiver with it ( never used one before)   What do you guys recommend?  Think I want to avoid strap on quivers.

I have a Selway Slide On for my 1pc Robertson Peregrine. Thunderhorn 2pt are on the Stalker Coyote and Robertson Prairie TDs. Both were excellent quality, craftsmanship, great folks to deal with over the phone, emails and had timely shipping up here to Canada. Don't think you could go wrong with either.

We have many options from sponsors here on tradgang that make great Quivers that are very functionable however I do have one question why are you wanting to avoid a strap-on? Because that's what I use 90% of the time so I'm curious

Had my Eagles Flight Apache for years. Light solid strap on and it stays on my bow so I can define durable. As long as they are built I’ll own 1 or 5. Big Jim’s are nice too. I haven’t had the pleasure of testing Great Northern products and perhaps one day I’ll get the chance. Oh and the set back option is a plus. PM me if I can help.

My favorite is a thunderhorn small fry lynx.  Great Northern Kickback, EFA, and selway all make excellent quivers.

I really like my Selway slide on. It's a bit heavy, but I like the added weight when shooting. The only downside I've had with it is that once it's on, I haven't been able to get it off which makes it a bit difficult to put the bow in a case.

+1 for the Thunderhorn small-fry lynx / 4-arrow strap-on. It’s the only bow quiver I’ve ever used though, so I have nothing to compare it to.

I prefer to keep a quiver off my bow whenever possible, but when I do use one it is a strap-on, a Kanati Pro.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

I was wondering why you don't want a strap on as well.  I use a Great Northern quite a bit.  I also had a Thunderhorn boa that I liked.

I thought the strap on quieted down my bow a little more and came off easily when I wanted it off.

I bought a longbow that had  a slide on quiver, and it appears to have dis-colored the bow limbs.  I don't know what brand it was.

I've used a lot of them over the yrs and just about all of them are good quivers but I always come back to the Thunderhorn.
It is just a stable well made quiver.

Most the bowquivers available are strap on.Any of the quivers mentioned above will be very nice quivers.Strap ons are easier to remove from the bow as you don't have to unstring the bow and remove the string to get the quiver off.I prefer a lightweight bowquiver.They do vary in mass weight.I like a very lightweight one with a smaller footprint.

If you don't want a stap on the Selway is a slide on and very well made and fits super tight.But you would need 2 quivers if you shoot both longbows and recurves.A stap on fits both.

Your other option is to have quiver inserts in your riser for a quiver that screws on to the inserts.

I think you said it was for a short bow?Its nice to have a setback model for short bows so your arrows don't sit down below your bottom limb.Thats particularly useful when hunting from the ground on your knees etc.An example would be the Great Northern Kick back

If you are going to take it off and hang it up while in the stand, you,will need one that straps on the bow and has the top and bottom connected.   I have used a Great Northern adjustable for 25 years.   It works for longbows or recurves and the length is adjustable.

Thunderhorn lynx for me. Quiets the bow, and can be removed if you so desire.

a strap-on is the way to go for me, too.  solid.  dependable.  they just work.  eagle's flight.

I used most of them over the years. Selway, Great Northern, Eagles Flight but my favorite is the Thunderhorn small fry. They're all good but I just prefer it
