LONGBOWERS to quiver or NOT to quiver??

[unclewhit]

No quivers on my longbows.

I just took my Eagle Quiver off because it slides down after several shots.  I have decided to shoot without it for now then practice with it some before the next hunting season. I have found it is easy enough to adapt to it for that purpose. When I hunt with my recurve from a treestand, I always just take it off and hang it on a branch.

no! (though I use a "solo-stalker" or single/dual arrow quiver to hold a single one).  The rest go in my ArrowMaster or Bobby's (High-Noon-Hunter) stalker.

Plus, 35" arrows just don't work on 56" bows

I have the same problem, went back to my Selway rawhide quiver. I love having a quiver on my bow. I tried a Catquiver, but found it a pain to hang up when in a treestand.

I never liked a LB with a quiver?? I have one on my recurve and it dont feel right without one on my recurve?

I might be crazy,

I have one, but I don't use it.  I'll use a hip or back quiver instead.

No quivers on my longbows.  It might be handier to have a quiver on my bow, but I can't do it.

It is a hate hate relationship for me!

No quivers on my longbows either.  I use a back quiver or Jack Bowers Chief most of the time (when I'm not using my GFA or Cat quiver).

I shoot with quivers on all my bows: longbow and recurve.  I found it too much of a hassle to be dragging some kind of side or back quiver through the brush.  Personal preference I guess.

I don't like a quiver on my longbow, I think it destroyes the balance & just doesn't look good on a nice trim longbow. I made mine into a copy of the GFA & like that a lot better. Frank

I put Eagle's Flights on my 3 Longbows. Don't even know they're there.

Curveman & Arwin, Try a piece of double sided foam tape on the inside of your Eagles Flight.  It will stick to the limb when pull the strap tight.  I use my 3 arrow....Eagles Flight or an old GN strap on kids quiver on my longbows.  Doc

How about a back quiver that will hold your bow as well as the arrows.

I use a Skookum Duel Stalker on my longbows. It weighs next to nothing, doesn't interfere at all with shooting. It holds 2 arrows only, although they make a single also  

I'm with arkybob on this one.  I don't like a bow quiver but when one is needed for certasin situations this is the one I use.  I also have a set of piggybackers and a broadhead sheeth so I can carry one extra arrow to my spot with me.  I just put the piggy backers in my pocket while I'm hunting.

My longbows just seem out of balance when I've tried to use bow quivers. They never seemed to shoot as well, and it never occured to me that tuning would be affected as mentioned by some of the prevous posts. Besides, my back quiver helps me gauge how fast I am moving.  When my arrows start to rattle, I need to slow down. Granted, bow quivers don't seem to be as much of a problem in brushy areas.

[oberon]

Never use them, I understand that they are useful but I for one can not abide them on any of my bows, you know the term BARE BOW.  That's the way I like them.  Just a bow.

Thanks Tippit! I think I was pushing it too far up on the "slide" of the riser as well!

[portugeejn]

No, back or side for me.
