Isn't it great that they make such a variety of toys, so that there is something to please every one. Personally I love my cat quiver. Keeps fletching dry, and I can carry whatever as well. As stated above, you nearly need to remove it if you decide to sit a spell.

I really like my Mini, I attach it to my daypack on the side loops.  Not a problem to get to the arrows at all.  I havn't used any of the pack catquivers so I don't have anything to go by on them, but I would think there could be issues getting to the arrows in the middle of your back.  Maybe not for some.

Another vote for Safari Tuff from a previous CQ owner. CQ is ok, but all the complaints listed are valid. If you shoot different length arrows, it can also be a problem with the Cat quiver (like blunts and broadheads). I have donated a few arrows to the woods over the years while using the Cat Quiver; not a problem with the Safari Tuff.

I had a Cat 2 and sold it.  Didn't like 2 straps.  I now use a mini and as mentioned earlier, it attaches to any pack or treestand with ease.  Single strap so it can be rotated around your body for arrow removal/replacement.  Last time I checked...about $50.

I'd never use one again.  The broadhead arn't 100% covered.  Cut the crap out of my little finger.  I now know what scary sharp is.  The thought of it makes me shiver.

I didn't even have the quiver on it was in the back of my truck.

I have the VI and 1/2 (look like an army LCE with buttpack)and can take the quiver off and use it as a mini.  On western on the ground all day I use the VI 1/2, when tree stand hunting I use it as a mini with the single strap.  Take a small snaplink and attach it to my harness tether around the tree.  Arrows stay safe and sound, quiet and dry.  Easy with a tad bit of practice.

I like mine. Kinda noisy so I taped up the joints.Nice to walk through the woods and brush as the arrows are behind you.You can put it in your vehicle and the arrows are pretty safe.But when you remove an arrow with it on your back,it's yours.The only good way to put the arrow back is to remove the quiver from your back.

Used one for many years and will continue to as i have found nothing better!! All quivers have their own 'quirks". I have worked out all on this quiver to suit my needs!!

:thumbsup:   For my serious all day hunting it's the one. Haven't had a problem with them at all. Except my new one with the fanny, i need to extend the belt for layers.

I bought a Cat III about twenty years ago. I didn't like it. If I put any weight at all in the pack part the quiver squeaked really bad. They may have fixed that problem, I don't know. I gave mine away not too long after I got it. Gary

I use the Mini for turkey hunting because they hide the fletching.

I've hunted my Cat III for over twelve years and am sold on them!  Quiet, easy and functional. The best stalking quiver I've ever used.  EVERYTHING is down the center of my back and always out of the way moving through thick stuff. For my rut all day sits this is the way to go. Pack for an all day stay.
Being vertically challenged (5'8) I cannot sit to rest wearing my Cat quiver.  Maybe tall guys don't have this problem but even with that the Cat style is a good one.

I've had one for years but very seldom use it. It's difficult to replace arrows in it once you've taken one out.

I got one about 15 years ago and didn't like it. I tried it out again a few years ago and still didn't like it. I got a Dawgware and like it much better. A Dawgware or Arrowmaster is the way to go.
