I love the "easy on, easy off" Great Northern bowquiver for hunting on foot as I can "direct" my bow and arrows ahead of me through brush that might catch a feather if my arrows were in a back quiver. Another plus for me is the added stability and shock absorbtion the bowquiver gives my bow when shooting.  
That being said I don't know how I'd get by without a back quiver when stump shooting or shooting aerial targets.  I like/need lots of arrows!

I really liked the Safari-Tuff. Hunted with it for the first time a couple weeks ago and it worked great...don't see myself ever going back to a bow quiver.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I'm going through this dilemma myself so far.

Bought a beautiful leather BQ a friend made and am getting used to it. I'll use it for small game and 3Ds.

I think I'll have to hunt with my Great Northern this year. Its just too convenient and my bow shoots great with it. Then I can wear a pack.

I'd like to make the switch eventually but I definitely won't use a BQ in the winter months.

Actually, I prefer a bow quiver when conditions allow.  However, if I could only choose one type, it would be "neither".  

I really think an over the shoulder quiver similar to the wonderful arrowmaster or Duiker by Rod are the best...they leave the bow un-cluttered and better ballanced and still allow the use of my Day Pack... Not to mention, no arrow "flagging" as with use of a bow quiver, great arrow protection from the elements, and less body movement required to remove an arrow in preperation of making a shot..

I use both but since I haven't been hunting much lately I took the bow quivers off and just use one of the two back quivers I have for roving.

I use to do this but have to make sure I hang it out of site or they see my pretty bright fletching. Had a doe once actually spot me because my quiver was hanging next to me. Now the only bow quivers I have you have to un-bow to take them off.

I like a bow quiver, for still hunting and moving around.  In a tree, I like no quiver.  I have used a hip quiver for years, but it gets in the way at times.  Tried a cat quiver, liked some thing about it, but ended up selling it.  Now, I like the Tiny Bohning 3 arrow quickie quiver.  I usually fasten it to the side straps of my pack.  I can reach an arrow, and hang it in the tree.  Seems to be the best for me.  I shoot all year without a quiver, so why change.
