I have tried several different kinds but never been completely happy.

For me it came down to thinking about side quivers and bow quivers. When I am stalking and sneaking around; what kind of quiver I have is a huge factor- compared to what I have when I am in a stand; be it on the ground or in a tree.
The bowquiver is excellent except when your in a tree; as the movement of the quiver full of arrows is pretty easy for critters to see.
With trad bows; especially longbows; there seems to be no bowquiver to take off easy when in a treestand.
The side quiver can come off easy and be hung up and not seen while treestand hunting. In a ground blind its the same thing- less chance of a fletch making a noise while moving for a shot; if the quiver is off.
For stalking; well maybe its my 32 inch arrows; but back quivers seem to be always catching on things; and it for me it takes an exaggerated movement to take an arrow out. Fine for small game- but a problem with big game for me. I have tried crawling on the ground to get closer many many times; and with a back quiver- the arrows have fallen out or clanked around enough to alert my prey.
The bow quiver; save the inconvenience of the treestand issue is my favorite. I can hold it it close to the ground while stalking; and keep it out of sight; where the side quiver does have the 'peacock' effect.
I like bowquivers best- but a close second is the side quiver.
The kwickey quiver is a neat concept; until you need to sit down. And too - if you have a pack frame for carrying meat out while elk hunting; the kwickey quiver gets in the way- while strapping a back pack to the pack frame allows you to carry stuff; and if you get an elk down; and need the pack frame- just take off the pack and carry it in one hand.
I vote bowquivers. With a decided second close vote for the side quivers.

I voted Cat quiver style.. I used my Cat III for years and years. Stalking, walking and falling down bluffs it was my "goto".. Until I bought my GFA. For me the best by far quiver for every style of bowhunting. It goes on every trip with me.

I've used them all, but since I got a Safari Tuff, I think my search has ended.

I made myself a "GFA" style side quiver and use a skookum 1 arrow quiver on my bow. Best combination I've come up with so far, but I am thinking about a real bow quiver for my new recurve.

Back quiver.

I hate bow quivers; but it is what I use.

side quiver.

Don't really have a favorite, I dislike them all. But I use a bow quiver.

I Love the romance of the Trad Back Quiver they're tuff to beat.But,I think the GN strap on Long Bow quiver is the most functional for me,as you always have a 2nd arrow readily available.But in Archery,as in life,each to their own!!

I use a GFA (Asbell) and a Great Northern side quiver 99% of the time.
I take them off and lay them on the ground next to me when in a ground blind which is most of the time. I seldom, if ever hunt from a tree.
I also have a strap-on bow quiver, but use it very seldom.

the one i made

I prefer my great northern side quiver over my bow mounted one. It seems quieter for me when in the woods. I take it off lie it next to me when on the ground or sit it behind me on my climber when in stand.

I haven't used a back quiver but seems like ti wouldn't be very quiet for me.

lakota Quiver

I use both a side quiver (Safari Tuff Arrowmaster) and bow quivers (EFA and Selway). Both have their benefits and draw backs. I picked the side quiver as that is the style of hunting I like to do the most... spot and stalk. If I'm tree stand hunting I like to have a bow quiver as I don't have to find somewhere to put the side quiver...

I voted side quiver--specifically the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster. I could have saved a lot of money if Rod had just invented it sooner.

Beating thru the brush we have up here, I find the SafariTuff to be the best I've ever tried!
I carry it more vertically behind me and can still withdraw an arrow without looking for it.

No worries about losing any arrows from it either!

Bow quiver for ease of use.
