What's your favorite type of quiver?
« on: July 01, 2008, 10:55:00 AM »
After taking the leap from wheelies to traditional bows I haven't decided which type of quiver I will use. Just for curiosity, what's your favorite type of quiver? Pictures would be GREAT!

THANX

I have tried many different types.  I just picked up one of Rod Jenkins Arrow Master Quivers while I was at Comptons.  I think I might have found "the one"!!  It is a great quiver and so far I have been really pleased with how it performs.  Even with a pack on it still works great!!

I don't have a favorite. It's a love/hate relationship with quivers. There is something that bugs me about everyone I try. If you're talking bow quivers, Great Northern is good. I like to carry FP in my back pocket.

Can't say for sure yet...just got one of these to try this season.  I tromp through some thick stuff here in Florida, so this should protect the arrows well.

I've pretty much settled on a bow quiver as my favorite means of carrying arrows, but which one depends on the bow we're talking about. I have several I really like such as the great northern, kanti, and the Thunderhorn.

In the past i've used one like Red Boar has pictured above.  I've recently bought one of Rod Jenkins from Safari Tuff & really like it.  For my one piece long bows that i like a little extra weight, i use a Kanati 4 arrow strap on from Kustom King.  The one pictured above by Red Boar can be purchased at 3 Rivers i think...good luck on your new journey....

I've tried a bunch of them, and have settled on this home made job.  I like to pack the critters out on my back, and am usually a ways from the vehicle.  I can't stand bow quivers.

My favorite quiver design is the Mini Boa bow quiver. It has, in my opinion, the best clamping design to fasten the quiver to the bow.
Here are some pics of my 6 arrow Mini Boa, that I modified to only take 5 arrows, and wrapped the hood with leather from an Ostrich I shot.

I never liked bow quivers until I bought a cool carp skined EFA quiver.  Can't really tell its on the bow which is a very good thing.

I like the bolt on type Thunderhorn quivers. They stay put and because they are solidly attached to the bow they seem to help absorb vibration. So I like the way the bow feels when I shoot it. I also like having 6 arrows for when I go back in a few miles for several days.

For me it is a bow quiver that bolts on or slides on like the selway. I tried the kind with straps but for some reason they tended to loosen up and then poof all of a suden the botton would fall and expose the broadheads. Not good at all. No matter how hard I strapped them up this would happen after a while. I use to use a back quiver for hunting but then on a caribou hunt hiking through thick stuff I learned my lesson. With a bow quiver I don't have a problem and the arrows are always with me. I practiced and can get an arrow out of the quiver and on the string pretty fast. I also like that the bow quiver is so quiet too.

A bow quiver is handy, but I don't like the extra noise that I always seem to have with them.  I really like a side quiver.  This is one I made by attaching the two pieces of a limb bolt-on bow quiver with a piece of oak and then covered it with leather.

Eagles Flight they are a sponsor here. Best one I found so far. Lite don't even know it's on the bow and it stays on the limbs.

For hunting, I like a bow quiver -- Selway, Thunderhorn mini-boa and Eagles Flite are all good.  I like the way Selway's offset the arrows more than the others.  For targets, I like a side quiver, or sometimes a back quiver.  For roving/stump shooting, I like a back quiver.  Just like with bows, life is too short to have only one.  :)
