Quivers?

[cbushee]

What type of quiver do you use? Why do you like it? Which type should I get if I do target practice and later hunting? Thanks.

Great Northern Adjustable strap on type.
Great quiver quite holds what I need it to and I can use it on all my bows.

I use a home made version of a cat quiver in the field. I like it because it is light, has enough space to store the gear needed to dress and bag a caribou+lunch, it's comfortable and very quiet.

Shooting on our range I use a PVC pipe type arrow stand or my back pocket. I have tons of pics that look like I just got shot in the keester.

A traffic cone with the top bobbed off makes a great backyard arrow stand.

I generally use a side-stalker (Dawgware or Safari Tuff. I have both, and I honestly can't say which of these two I prefer.) or Plains style quiver for everything.

I occasionally use a bow quiver like the Eagle's Flight Totem or Thunderhorn mini-boa for hunting.

If a back quiver is your preference, a soft-leather type like Mike's Archery Leather makes is the ticket, as the leather folds a bit and holds your arrows steady 'til you need them.

My back pocket has seen a lot of duty at the range, though!    
As you might surmise from my post, you will likely need to try several types and see which works best for you in the various applications.

Killdeer I use the traffic cone for the back yard  too. I use the High Noon Hunter side quiver for 3D shooting and hunting.

I use a GN adjustable longbow quiver for hunting big stuff. Small stuff and 3D's, I use a back quiver.

Kanati Pro bow quiver. Strap on.

[VA Robinhood]

GN makes a great quiver and has several different models from strap on, side mount, limb bolt mount and even a shoulder strap.  If you are looking for a smaller quiver, Kanati strap on quivers are really nice.

i use an eagles flight, they are extremly light, durable and they look good, not to mention the price..... cant beat em' great service too.

[Rob DiStefano]

all quivers are good, all quivers have issues.

ain't no way to know what'll best for ya until you try it.  no shortcuts to 'the best quiver'.

anything else is just other people's opinions and ya know about those ...

Been using a GFA, but three times now I haven't been able to get a second arrow quick enough.  Side mount Selway on the way.

[NDTerminator]

I have a couple bow quivers ( a 3R 4 arrow Mini Boa strap on & a Thunderhorn Two Point that attaches under the limb bolts of a TD) but frankly don't use them much as I don't like how a bow quiver changes the handling of any type of bow.  I only dig them out for certain situations...

I really like hip & side quivers. I have a GFA Side Quiver that I use quite a bit, but the hunting quiver I use most is a Chuck Adams Arrow Holster I got back around 88' or 89'.  It is a top end hip quiver that hasn't been made for years.  The closest thing to it I've seen that is currently available is the hip quiver made by Tarantula.  I found with the addition of a couple heavy boot lace loops to clip a shoulder strap to, it serves as a really nice side quiver, and I use it as such most of the time.
The Arrow Holster holds up to 10 arrows, which is really handy in that I can carry a Judo, a broadhead or two I don't care if I trash, and a good load of primary broadhead tipped arrows.  

The one I use most for target & stumping is a nice compact hip quiver that 3R sells, called Dave's Hip Quiver...

Well said, Rob D.

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

It's a personal preference.  I prefer to use side quivers like the Dawg Ware or Safari Tuff.

[Pepper]

I use the 3R mini boa, works good on both long bows, and recurves.

[Quinn]

I've got a safari tuff arrowmaster, great for heavy brush and/or wet weather and a GFA, for dryer days. They're both great side quivers.

[Overspined]

back quiver for speed and quantity, side quiver for stealth and versatility, catquiver for camo and a little storage/little movement.

Why did we start calling Glen St Charles style quivers Cat Quivers? Like Kleenex?

I use the great northern strap on and the boa 2pc strap on. I hunt with my quiver off the bow. As soon as I get in a stand or blind I take my quiver off the bow. The great northern is better funtionally because it has the wire that hold the top and bottom together. The boa looks better but tends to move up and down the limb if you leave it on the bow when you shoot.
