When I started bowhunting that was called a Kwiki Quiver. A lot of cut fingers!

The main thing that would help is using a setback quiver. I have 54” & 56” bows. One strap on, one screw in quiver that changes the angle of the arrows towards the bottom limb tip. My arrows are 29” plus broadheads.

Sorry guys, the photo rotation struggle continues… If you view the photo you’ll see the setback angle on lower gripper. Bow can be set on ground and no nock contact…

Not to go off topic, but nice looking bow, KAZ.

On my shortest bow at one time I bent the metal supports of my Great Northern quiver as someone here suggested. It worked well.

When I was a kid, someone else (i.e., not me) had a grand idea that left their 3-blade Bodkin exposed.  I didn't see it.  I have that head now, in a drawer.  It matches the 3-blade scar I have in my leg that sent to the hospital in an ambulance.  I was 14, and it wasn't my fault.

KAZ I tried kickback angles but with a 34" overall arrow length (nock to field point tip) length and a 52" Shrew with shortish fade area I just couldn't make the setup work laid out on the bench..not even talking into account long broad heads lol! I'd buy a quiver but it would have to be some kind of offset hood to allow attachment well onto the fade and have the hood 4-6" up towards the upper limb tip from the grip strap on area.

Understood :campfire: The Kanati Dual Arc Screw-In Model on my one piece bow with the deer helps rotate the hood up further. Marksman quivers has some unique brackets that might be helpful…

Marksman has a new one piece that works in conjunction with their strap down brackets. Teamed up with the set back brackets you would have a super adjustable, quickly removable one piece quiver.

If you don't want a one piece then just the strap down brackets with setback brackets will work fine too.

I use Big Jim's quiver with the bracket on my 56" Thunderchild. It angles the arrows back, couldn't stand my nocks hitting the ground when leaning the bow against a tree etc. It's rock solid and I love it for a short bow.

Not a chance in hell I would go into the woods without my broadheads covered. Bleeding to death is a dumb way to go. My broadheads are covered and I STILL carry a tourniquet.

Maybe try a Great Northern strap on with set back, or a side quiver? I enjoy bow quivers, but almost always take them off when sitting anyway. Moving a blob of bright fletching around attached to my bow has never made sense to me.

In the early days I used to hunt with one arrow, carried in my hand.  Didn't have a quiver.  Now days when I hunt hogs I have one on the string while stalking.  Everything else is in the GN.  Place I hunt has heavily pressured hogs that sleep at a slow trot.  We call it wing shooting for pigs.  Carrying a couple tourniquets is not a bad idea for everyday, you just never know when you might need one, or two.

Just remembered GUNSHY Quivers also has some innovative options and he shoots short riser longbows.
