Type of quiver

[Richie]

I'm just curious, what type of quiver does everyone use, back , hip, or bow?

[Cromm]

Mostly PI style quiver.

[rbbhunt]

Bow quiver for hunting, and I usually remove when I get to my stand/blind

[cacciatore]

I love the look of a leather back quiver and if you make a search there are some really outstanding works of art posted,but I am a mountain hunter and the only option is a bow quiver.That is waht I have always used for hunting.

[Drakho]

I feel more comfortable with a back quiver but use sometimes a side quiver...

Never liked bow quivers.

[Eugene Slagle]

I use a bow quiver by Eagles Flight, I have the Cherokee & the Apache & I love em, light, easy set up & pretty durable.

I also have a home made side quiver but I rarely use it.

Selway side-mount bow quiver. I like the added weight. I keep it full of broadheads and one Judo, all year-round, even when shooting 3D. I use a side, 3D style quiver when shooting 3D, in addition to my bow quiver.

I have a quiver fetish. I use them all from time to time. When I'm hunting I use my Safari tuff back quiver. I use a side quiver when shooting 3D and I have one bow that just feels right with a bow quiver on it. When I'm hunting small game I use a back quiver from Mike's Archery Leather unless it's raining and wet, then it's back to the Safari Tuff.

I, too , have a quiver fetish !
I tend to stump shoot a lot and hunt small game , even whilst deer hunting so I like to carry more arrows than most . As such I use either a Hill style back quiver , Bower style side quiver or more recently , an Arrowmaster .
I'm a bit fanatical about my feathers and gave always had a Rancho Cat Quiver of some description at camp ... but ...The Arrowmaster is just about the best most versatile quiver I have used ...quiet and easy to get an arrow on the string with a minimum of movement and with the fletch cover soothes my anxiety about wet feathers .

I use a side quiver with certain bows and a selway detachable with others.

I just can't seem to shoot right with a bow quiver. So I have used a hip quiver and found they do the job. I use it for 3D and everything else.

[Lefty]

I have tried them all and love the looks of a good back quiver.  I always think that the new side quiver is just what I need, but time after time I have found the best place for my arrows are in a quiver attached to my bow.  I like the added weight and can quickly get to a second arrow if needed.  If I am on the range, then I still have the bow quiver on, but I carry my target arrows in a pocket quiver by MAL.

[Steve Clandinin]

40 years ago I couldn't decide so I've spent 40 years trying them all.I've really come to like the Arrowmaster for hunting in heavy woods,back quiver for small game and bow quiver for open country deer hunting.I think I've got 25-30 quivers.

[Ari]

I use a back quiver but sometimes get problems with branches and sticks catching my arrows, been thinking about the GFA quiver or something like that style, that would be more easy to move around thick bush with.

God bless,

This is my first season with a quiver on the bow and I am liking it.

 

[cacciatore]

I can understand thatpeople hunting from a blind or a tree stand don't like and don't need the extra weight on their bows.When you are on the move in West for elk or in a wilderness hunt for Boo and Moose and you have a heawy backpack you need to have the arrows next to your bow/hands,since when you need one it must be pretty accessible and very quick.

[bornagainbowhunter]

I have several types of quivers also.  My favorite is a selway bow quiver.  I just like solid, no frills stuff that works.  Maybe that is why I shoot trad.

God Bless,

finding a quiver that works best for you isn't gonna get solved in a popularity poll.  there benefits and draw backs to all manner of quivers.  you really do need to spend the time afield with, and perhaps spend money on if ya can't borrow, different types of quivers.

[centaur]

What Rob said. I think I have used every type of quiver around over the years. My current stable is 9 quivers, and I have a Big Jim bowquiver on order. My current favorite is the Safari Tuff, but I still use bowquivers, too. There probably aren't too many of us around that just have just one quiver. It is a process, and different quivers work in different situations.

[misfire]

When hunting with the recurve I use a bow quiver. It works great and doesn't affect my shooting at all. The longbow is another story. I can't get comfortable with the bow quiver on it. I adapted an old wheelybow mounted quiver to work as a side quiver...I don't like it so I'm waiting for my backquiver to arrive.

If the OP doesn't mind I would like to ask those who use a back quiver with broadheads on their arrows. Do you cover the BHs or do you let them ride in the quiver as is?
