Newbie. Is this the place to ask questions?

[Bengal]

I just bought my first traditional bow (Black Widow) and I have plenty of questions. Is this the right forum to ask them in?

[Bowwild]

Lots of mine have been answered here.  Welcome to  you!

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Absolutely and congrats on a fine bow. I don't own any widows but have shot a few and they are fine bows.
 
 Any questions you got you can either look through old post using the search feature or ask it here. great bunch of guys here willing to help. I've learned more about trad shooting in the last year or so since I have been here than I ever knew in the five I shot trad.

It sure is.  Lots of Widow fans on here.  Bear in mind that your setup will be your setup and things don't always work exactly the same from person to person, so you may have to tweek things just a hair, but folks can sure get you pointed in the right direction.

Welcome and ask away.

Thanks everyone! I am looking at quivers and I prefer a bow-mounted quiver. Does anyone use the Selway slide on quivers?

[Bill Turner]

One thing for sure, if you can't get it answered here your not asking a question remotely related to traditional archery. Welcome aboard. Prop up your feet and sit a spell.

[Bengal]

Or suggestions on another option?

[T Folts]

Bengal,
Questions are welcom for sure thats how we learn from each other. One thing we have here is a search function that will give you a wealth of info that has been discussed here in the past, I use it all the time.

Welcome Bengal,

You are in the right place for certain!

The Selway slide on quivers are great quivers and lots of us use them.  They do come in both longbow and recurve versions so you need to get the right one.  I used a 6 arrow longbow quiver on my longbow for several years but eventually went to a side quiver because I really like the feel of the longbow with nothing hanging off of it.  Lots of buys say their bows shoot better with the quiver on it due to the added weight but I'm not one of them.  Besides, my arrows are so ridiculously long that they get in the way.

There are also versions of bow quivers with different attach methods.  Selway makes one that has a knob to tighten it onto the limb.  You don't have to slide it all the way down the limb.  There is also one (name excapes me) that uses a rubber strap that wraps around the limb.  It's lighter than the Selway and I hear lots of good about it too.  They come in anywhere from only 3 or 4 arrow capacity to 6 arrow.  Four is usually plenty unless you will also be toting a couple of blunts for small game.

Over time, you will probably buy or make a couple back or side quivers "just because" we all need to try them at some point.  Besides, it's fun.

Bengal,
I have used the Selway for quite a while, but I am getting a Big Jim bow quiver. They  go on and can be taken off without having to unstring the bow. He is a sponsor here. Check it out.

[Bengal]

Thanks for all the feedback and the warm welcome. I think I am going to try out the Selway first and go from there. I will probably be getting the 6 arrow because I plan on carrying blunts for small game. I'm sure I will have more questions soon. Thanks again.

I almost forgot- The bow came with three extra sets of limbs and .....

[Huntschool]

Be sure and look at the Thunder Horn quivers.  I shoot Widow bows and love the looks and workmanship of the Thunder Horns....

[BOWMARKS]

Welcome aboard someone will answer them.

I am going to get a quiver tomorrow and I will look at the Thunderhorns. I need to get an arm guard as well. I don't have any problem with my compound so I have never used one. Does a longer arm guard prevent the string from catching?

[MCNSC]

Check these out. I have had several quivers for my Widows and this is the one I use, doesnt move ,quiet, arrows angle back and it looks good.
A big plus is they are a sponser here.
 Oh and the limbs should be well worth $350
And welcome, great people here, As with many things with traditional archery you will get many opinions,most will be right. You just gotta see what works for you, or what suites your tast.

I really like the look of the Kanati Quivers. I will probably go with something I can pick up tomorrow because I am leaving for a hunt in Nebraska next week. Maybe I'll have to get one after I get back as a christmas present to myself...
