best non bow quiver for hunting
« on: March 07, 2007, 10:35:00 PM »
Hello guys, once again looking for an opinion from ya'll.  I have decided that I dont want a bow quiver on my new bow, and would like some recommendations on the next best thing for hunting.  I am open to any ideas, but would like two things specifically:  easy to get through THICK brush (no shortage of that in Oregon), and some sort of feather protection.  I am considering a quiver like O.L. Adcock uses, though I cant think of who makes them, with something over the feathers for protection.  Any suggestion?

Mini Cat Quiver.  I am a back quiver guy for almost everything but this is just the thing for broadheads and sneakin around in the brush. Everything behind you, feathers covered, easy out with minimal movement. Downside PIA to put arrow back in quiver.
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

great ideas guys, keep em coming.....Ron, the mantis is the one I have been considering.  I know its similiar to some of the other quivers out there, but does anyone one use one of these "quivers on a string" on a regular basis?

The best we found are Art Vincents,Cedar Ridge, O.L Adcock Stalker quivers. Both the 4 and 6 arrow models are what we now use after doing the review on them.
The review is on my site in the trad reviews at  www.peteward.com
Share your knowledge and ideas.

You might want to check the Jack Bowers "Stealth" and "Chief" side quivers. I use the Stealth for 3d, small game hunting and stump shootin'. Very nice quiver. Jim.

Pete, I was unable to locate the OL Adcock Stalker Quiver review on your site, and it is not on OL's either.
Can you please post a link for those of us who may be similarly challenged?

I havn't used it but I like the looks of Ron's Mantis quiver made by Art Vincent. LaClair and Vincent now there are two guys who no something about traditional archery and the needs of the traditional hunter.

For a non-bow quiver, I'm sold on the GFA, Stalker, over the shoulder under the arm styles.  They are the bomb!

I agree completely with SlowBow I have a bear on bow quiver that i just couldnt get along with it. I modified it to be GFA style for the SEMO hog hunt we walked through some very nasty stuff that im not sure I would have made it through with my hip quiver. Unless I find  on bow quiver that works The over the shoulder under arm style is the one I will always go with.

I see the quivers that have the arrow's shaft totally exposed (like a cat quiver), and can't for the life of me figure out how that style works in thick brush:
how do you not lose arrows??  It seems like the brush would be ripping those right off the quiver, and you would not even know it.
Can someone help me out?  What am I missing?
Thanks,
Rich

It's hard to beat the plains type quiver for any type of situation. It can be made long enough to protect the feathers, it is quiet, easy to manuver through brush, and can be worn in several positions. Check out the quiver of the Iceman, a sheperd that died and was frozen in a glacier 5000 years ago.

I am also a big fan of the GFA Quiver. I never really liked a quiver mounted on my bow.
