For me that would be the Chief side quiver made by Jack's Traditional Archery.

Dan if you're talking tree stand hunting it's hard to beat a Selway hip quiver. I wear it to the stand, take it off and hook it to your pull rope along with the bow, then hang it on my off side in the stand. Arrows are right there at the ready.

For a side quiver and ground hunting, there's no better than the Arrow Master from Safari Tuff.

Safari-Tuff "Arrowmaster"--it fits the "all of the above" category. Designed as a hunting quiver, it works great for 3-D also.

Rooselk took the words out of my mouth. Jack's side quivers are good for both practice/3d and hunting.

If it's mostly just practice, I'd recommend something where you load the arrows in point first from the front.

The Chief side quiver (and side stalker and all similar ones) works great, as does the Arrowmaster and Dawgware quivers. Where they fall short is on the range shooting lots of arrows. Putting an occasional arrow back in them while hunting or roving is easy, putting a fist full back in however is not. I have a Dawgware (and if I didn't get that before the Arrowmaster came out I'd have the Arrowmaster) and like it for hunting in dense brush. Keeps the arrows completely protected and you can get one out with very little movement. Great for if I'll just be hunting big game and will only need one arrow or the occasional stump shooting.

For general use and hunting where I know I'll be shooting lots of arrows though (small game, which is most of the hunting I do these days) I use a Plains style side quiver. I'm biased though, since I make 'em and sell 'em (see the Classifieds for some examples)

The standard type of belt or hip quiver work great for the range, but I can't stand trying to hunt in them.

If you ask 10 people what the best quiver is you'll get 10 answers. Try them all for yourself and see what works best for you. You can make a basic practice plains quiver or belt quiver in about 10 minutes from a pair of jeans. The tube style side quivers can be made in about the same time from a large cardboard tube, map tube or PVC pipe. Play around with those cheap quivers to see what you really like before dropping the $100+ on each of the commercial ones. Wish I did..

Then again, we gotta keep the economy going LOL!

I have to disagree about putting arrows back into an Arrowmaster. It's no problem at all to stick 6-8 arrows at a time back into it, even with the fletch cover on. For me, that's 6-8 23/64 POC's that are 33" long with field points.

The "best" practice "quiver" to me is my back pocket (or pocket quiver), but the AM comes in a close second and is the absolute best in the "all around" category. The only thing I can think of where you might need a different quiver is if you plan to carry a couple dozen flu-flu's.

I agree about trying different quivers--I've had umpteen, ranging from several back quiver, Lakota style quivers, a Chief, a catquiver, etc. etc. etc. That's one of the reasons I am confident in saying the Arrowmaster works great for "all of the above".

'Course that's just my opinion, but I know you can easily load it with several arrows with no problem.

Check out Steve Catts the leather smith. In my opinion he's the best around. His quality will last a lifetime and is second to none.

One option that I like is the Kanati. John makes hip rig that attaches to his one pc angle quiver. You can put it on your bow or wear it on your belt. two for one so to speak. Don

I've been very happy with my Sidekick side quiver from Great Northern. Would recommend adding a polar fleece fletch cover for hunting.

I've used one of Art Vincent's "Mantis" quivers, sold by Ron LaClair, successfully for several years. I recently worked with Art on some additional features which resulted in the new "Logsdon Special Edition" Stalker. Art's introducing it at Comptons this weekend. Of course I'm bias, but I sure like the way it turned out:^)

Press "F5" if the photo doesn't load.
