.... 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?

i *always* use home made leather bonnets on all broadheads that go into a back quiver.  else, the heads get banged around too much, get dull, make noise.

My favorite and most used is my Jack Bowyer side-stalker quiver.  But I also carry an arrow in a single bow "quiver".

I've got a Great Northern bow quiver on my Pearson and a Kwicky-2 on my Kodiak.  A back quiver for my longbow (and a Selway to fit that, also).  Oh, and an ancient belt quiver for field archery & target.

Mix it up.  They each have advantages & disadvantages in different situations.

For 3-D and for hunting a half day, I like a 4 arrow bow quiver on a recurve, and 3 or minimal 4 arrow quiver on a lightweight longbow. For 3-D shooting I might also use a 3 arrow hood with a 4 or 5 arrow gripper.

At EFA we make 4 different sizes of the cherokee and navajo models. That allows the bowyer to pick the right size for the broadheads they are using, and keeping the weight to a minimum. With most of our quivers you will hardly notice that it on the bow. Many people tell us that the quiver makes the bow quieter, or that it tends to stabilize the bow, making it shoot a tighter group.

This is what I use

RICK - NICE QUIVER!

I have a back quiver of my own construction, a hip quiver, a side quiver I made out of a Bear Delta model and a selway bow quiver.  

The selway seems to win most of the time - lots of belly crawling for Alberta mule deer.

My favorite is an EFA Cherokee 4 arrow bow quiver. It's also on my favorite bow, my Kanati. As 2fletch said, they are so light I hardly notice the difference with it off or on. Mine is almost always on my bow.

Second place would go to my Thunderhorn Linx. It is perfect on my Orion, but too heavy for the Kanati.

Selway makes a nice quiver as well. I have a bow bolt Selway on my Badger recurve.

I also have a Side Stalker, but normally use that for target/3d shooting. For hunting the bow quiver wins 90% of the time. I've used the SS in my turkey blind, but usually I just use the bow quiver because I have enough crap hanging over my shoulder (blind, pack full of calls, lunch, coffee, etc.)

I agree with Rob, though, you'll need to try them for yourself. Obviously, it's different strokes for different folks when it comes to quivers or we wouldn't have so many to choose from.

I like bow quivers...  Thunderhorn namely....

This year I started using a Rancho Safari Cat quiver and have really been pleased.  I have one of the mini catquivers and I ordered the additional harness style staps.  i can be slung over your shoulder if wearing a fanny pack or attached to your back pack or treestand on your back.  I hunt a lot from a canoe or boat to access some land and it is tough on arrows and fletchings.  The cat quiver covers my feathers and keeps them looking good and dry.

I like the back/side quivers that load from the bottom.  It does it all.   Keeps fletches dry and concealed, easy to load and unload, not in the way, not on your bow, easy getting through thick brush....

I made one, here is a photo.  Field tested, works great.

[Thumper Dunker]

Side quivers

[twitchstick]

I prefer a bow quiver for most hunts.

[GingivitisKahn]

Hip quiver here but I wear it on a baldric and kind of high.  Works much like a GFA quiver.

[Casper]

i use bow quiver an a back quiver like a cat quiver

[Osage61]

For target shooting; roving it's my back quiver.
For hunting it's a hip quiver.

[Terry Lightle]

Great Northern bow quiver on my longbow

[jcp161]

Side quiver or hip quiver and once in awhile a Thompson double header.

[Winterhawk1960]

I only have one quiver currently. It was made by Bobby Ratliff (HighNoonHunter) here on Trad Gang. It can be worn about anyway that you would like to wear it.......I prefer to wear it as a side quiver because I have more control of it that way and an arrow is just seconds from being on the string.

His work is flawless and they are made to last a lifetime.
