Here is a Kwikee Sidewinder, another Kwikee hip quiver my good friend Frank made and gave me, and a couple more my good buddy Jed sent me.

I really like Great Northern quivers as well. Here is a bolt on I just picked up for my beautiful 1972 Super Kodiak.

Great northern for me. I have strap ons,side mount and limb bolt. I also have a mini cat quiver and a leather tube quiver. I just prefer not to have anything hanging off my side. I once arrived at my stand only to realize I left my arrows home .

I like my Catquiver I. Takes a little bit of getting used to getting the arrows back in. Once that is mastered I love the way it protects the fletching and keeps everything out of the way until I need it.

I use bow quivers a lot, Selway, Thunderhorn, Eagles Flight.
For non bow quivers I have used Cat Quivers some in the past but I have a River Wolf tube quiver that Ralph made me that is my preference for non bow quivers.

Depending on the season or how I am bowhunting. Inside a blind i like to bring this back quiver i made out of plumbing pvc and a some hunting strap hardware.

If its deer/moose season and I am mobile or in a stand I use my selway side quiver.

Inside a blind a side quiver on my short longbow is frustrating. The arrow nocks are always sticking into the mud. This is why I prefer to pack my arrows in a backquiver and have them ready.

I have owned most every quiver out there at one time, my favorite by far is the Great Northern.  It just does everything better.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Going back plenty of years now I guess,  I have tried most methods of carrying my hunting arrows.   Bow mounted quivers I started with,  back quivers like Hill style,  tube style like the Safari Tuff,  sling style where the quiver has a hood and arrow gripper like a bow mounted,  but you sling it and it'll ride on your hip and you can set it down where decide to sit or stand for a bit ..........
I will say so far,  no quiver style is absolutely perfect.  They all seem to have at least 1 thing about them that keeps them from being absolutely perfect .......  Im talking about the method of carry and the actual model of quiver.
What I have found to be closest to perfect,  is the Great Northern strap on.  I use the model with the kick back,  and these days I always opt for the in line arrow gripper.  To me,  the inline gripper is a MUST.  I do like to shoot a bow without a quiver attached if Im just shooting arrows and having fun.  If I'm going to the woods,  my bow will have a quiver strapped to it.  It makes 1 complete package, ready to grab and take care of business.  I can grab it an run.  I can peel an arrow out of the quiver fast and get it on the string with the most efficiency of movement if needed.  I also like the way it balances out my longbows.  The Great Northern quality is hard to beat.  The strap on style can be moved from 1 bow to another easy and in seconds,  if you should need to.....no special screw mounting to the riser.  Strap it down good,  they are solid and silent.   I started with a couple Great Northerns but back then,  they did not offer the inline gripper (that I ever saw anyhow),  only the 3 in front, 2 in back configuration.  I always hated that.  When the in line gripper was offered,  I went back to GN and my quiver needs are water under the bridge.  Im staying with GN,  not looking back.  To me , they are as close to perfect as I need.

I'm not a fan of quivers in general and have a big pile of all types. As far as bow quivers I like Thunderhorn the best mostly on recurves, but what I use most often is a Powderhorn side Stalking quiver made by Art Vincent as I don't really want a bow quiver on my longbows.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

I've used several of the big names out there and they are all good, I am currently using a Big Jim's quiver with the Deflex bracket on my new Javaman Elkheart and its my all time favorite now. Really like the secure, rock solid way it mounts and the positive lock it gives to the arrows, no more loose arrows sliding down and out of the gripper. Price point was also very good compared to many of the others. Give them a look, you won't be disappointed!

I think mine is similar to a safarituff I see guys listing.  Here it’s so thick that you’d tear your arrows off a bow quiver, or a hill style quiver with exposed arrows.   I would like a hill style for stumping.  And I’d like the bow quiver for convenience. But realistically while walking slowly through thick woods and brush. It’s difficult enough carrying a bow through it, let alone if arrows were hanging off the bow or stuck up behind your head.   So with the safarituff type, the arrows are fully enclosed behind you. Rain proof. Brush can rake past without touching the arrows and easy to get an arrow out when needed out the side. But it’s a rigid pipe on your back. Hard to load back up when it’s on your back.  Can’t hold a lot of arrows like when stumping.  But for arrow protection it works well

Great Northern is the best I have used,  I always liked the Bighorn quiver G Fred sold for his Recurves back when I shot recurve a lot.
