What quiver do you like.......non bow quiver
« on: October 17, 2018, 06:43:18 PM »
As new resident of Georgia I can't hunt for 90 days. So I have been trying to get ready for when I can go out. I understand that a bow quiver is to so easy but I tend to shoot a bare bow much better. What quiver do you guys like.....???? Hip, over the shoulder, like an Asbell, or Safarituff style. Mark Baker style or some home made style. Share your thoughts on what works for you.......I hunt from the ground most of the time. Really don't have to carry more than 4-5 arrows.

I've used the smaller safari tuff quite a lot and really like it. I have the larger one too...too big for me. The smaller (duiker) I put in 4 snuffers with big 4 fetch and it fills pretty good.  I add thicker foam in the bottom to fully bury the snuffers and sewed some flannel over the black material that bands the side hole..it was a bit scratchy on brush.  Have used that with a solo stalker type 1 arrow deal on bow a lot too...good combo.

Ron I like the Suffari Tuff Arrowmaster. I’ve used it on 3 horseback elk hunts and I use it both in a tree stand and on the ground here at home. I’ve tried others but I keep coming back to it. It adjusts well on the fly and it holds the arrows even when things get a little “westerny”. It also hangs anywhere.

Thanks guys, I have a bunch of stuff I can use, Safarituff, Absorkee, home made Asbell style and a few more. I will have to see how things carry with my pack seat. Keep the ideas and opinions coming........

Great Northern Sidekick (the one I am currently using)

Farr West Leathers (can’t remember the model name of the one I have)

Best 2 off the bow quivers I have found.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

A Kanati bow quiver converted to an over-the-shoulder fluidly adjustable quiver (I'm a fan of ACE broadheads)
My favorite for fair weather....ala braded nylon paracord

And for a threat of foul weather I will use the same conversion of a Cat Quiver mini.

Unlimited potential...can silently slip it to any position behind you, hang it up, lay it down...

Sunset Hill back quiver most of the time, especially for a general stroll or stalking and small game hunting.

For walking in to sit and wait, or out of the canoe or inclement weather, I like the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster. I like the big one because I prefer to carry a bunch of arrows regardless of the hunt. I ran out ONCE on a rabbit hunt, and I want to be sure it only happens ONCE. I met Rod at his shop here in town and picked out my quiver. Trying on the different sized models back to back, I decided the big one didn't carry or fit much different than the smaller ones, so I opted for the extra capacity.

The more I use it though, the more I'm growing to love my back quiver. The only big downfall i have found with it is when I'm needing to wear a backpack. In those situations it's a lot easier and more accessible to strap the Arrowmaster on the side of the pack. 

All that being said, I don't miss my bow quiver.  :thumbsup:

As new resident of Georgia I can't hunt for 90 days.

What?    Quitter!

My favorite is a Jack Bowyers Side Stalker quiver.  Hunting I carry five broad heads (with a foam plug in the base) and a blunt or two.  Stumping it will hold 18 blunts.



With a polar fleece fletch cover it is quiet and convenient.

I have two that I use. I don't care for bow quivers; they always seem to negatively affect my shooting. When I did use a bowquiver, it was a Snowcraft strap-on, and I would take it off and hang it up when I got in my stand or blind.

Nowadays I use a Catquiver II (though I'd be just as happy most of the time with a Cat I). I like the way the Catquiver takes care of my (real feather) fletchings.


I also sometimes revert to an old Southland backquiver that I've had for nearly 30 years. It's basically just a back quiver with two outside gear pockets on it; made of camo cloth with padding sandwiched between the camo and a fleece lining.

I made a GFA style quiver from an old Selway bow quiver. It holds the arrows securely is comfortable to carry and can be tucked behind you as you move through brush. I also have a side stalker style but I use it for practice shooting. I prefer the GFA for hunting.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I probably spent enough on home-made and store-bought quivers over the years to buy a new house...for sure a new truck!  For me, the Safari Tuff is far and away the best and most versatile all-around quiver I've ever used.  I live/hunt in MS.  Similar terrain.

I’ve been using the Powderhorn from Cedar Ridge Leather Works and have been very pleased with it.

Not to steal this thread, but does one have to worry about wood arrows flexing in a cat quiver (from the pressure)? Thanks

I really like my GFA quiver.

I like a bare bow also so use a strap on arrow quiver I can take off when I stop to hunt.  The thunderhorn boa is 60$ and is plane jane black plastic but a little glue and leather you have a custom job.
