The weight of a quiver, how it is positioned on the bow, and how steady it is on the bow are all important. Our motto which we've used for years is "Travel Light with Eagle's Flight". We have a lot of our customers report that their bow was quieter and even shot tighter groups with their quiver on the bow. Our smallest 3 arrow quiver (Mini) weighs in at about 4 ounces, and the standard 4 arrow (Maxi, Cherokee, and Little Geronimo) weigh about 4.5 - 5 ounce. Our larger "Chief" size 4 or 5 arrow (Cherokee, Navajo, and Cochise) quivers weigh in at about 6 ounce.
Weight isn't everything, but it is a major factor. Our unique and proven Talon Grip system is rock solid on the bow, but it's important to put it on correctly. Remember, "Travel Light with Eagle's Flight".
