I have tried a slip-on quiver on a few recurves, and a Great Northern detachable on a 3-piece take-down longbow.  I eventually tried a G. Fred Asbell quiver and that is all I have hunted with the last two years.  I don't like hunting in wind with a bow mounted quiver.  It affects my shooting too much.

I found the Asbell quiver is quiet and goes through brush very well.  I have an older Catquiver I don't use because a backpack and Asbell quiver is more versatile and easier to use.

As you can see from the replies, it comes down to personal preference.

I like Kanati's. The only other I have experienced is a Thunderhorn.

I have a Great Northern on my recurve and it is a great quiver. However, I recently picked up a GFA and am going to give it a try this spring. I am not sure there is a perfect quiver for all  situations. There are however perfect quivers for specific situations.

Thanks for all the input, guys!
I guess I'll have to try several and figure out what works best for me.  I really like the look of the Eagle Flight Archery quiver, and the Kanati's.  Does Eagle Flight make a six arrow quiver?

Another vote for a Thunderhorn BOA. Very nice people to deal with and the'll make your quiver in any color you like, just send them a pic of your bow to match it!

As for bowquiver I like the mini boa from 3Rivers, and for an off-the-bow quiver, I also really like the GFA style, it's very comfortable and easy to manuver thru brush or whatever. Hope this helps  :campfire:    :coffee:

I've went through all listed above and for my uses the Kanati is hands down the best.  It is very well made and will last a lifetime or two, it quiets my bow, it fits tights and doesn't shift or slide on the limb, and all of my arrows have quick and easy access with minimal movement.

About 40 years ago there weren't many choices and I was confused,today is mindboggling,so I spent alot of years buying and trying.At lasy count I think I own just about everything and even made some of my own.My use depends what I'm going to be doing,theres just to many situations and there are quivers to fit those needs.Thats the fun of it all!

Bowwild has pretty spot on advice above. I like Great Northern or Kanati on the bow or GFA style off the bow. It depends on what I'm hunting. For whitetails, I like the quiver off the bow. I want no extra stuff waving around or any chance of bumping a feather or nock on something at a critical moment.

I hate them all, they are a necessary evil. I have tried just about all types out there, Ones that strap on, screw on, bolt on, hang from your shoulder, strap to your waste, fit in a back pack.

I have settled on two types a bolt on or strap on (both models thunder horn 4 arrow) and a 6 arrow shrew mantes from Ron LaClair's shop (a shoulder strap side quiver)

I do have to admit that I have never given a good back quiver enough time but they are just not for me.

I have a bow quiver that is new to me. It is on one of my Great Northern fireball bows. Yes you can tell it's on there but if you keep it on with the max amount of arrows but shoot a handful of other arrows, so the weight is at it's max you will start to get used to the weight.
My fav quiver is this one;

I've tried a lot of them and like Kanati, from John Dill, the best.

Art Vincent and I co-designed a really nice side quiver which I field tested in Colorado (elk), Texas (hogs), plus extensive use on KY turkeys and whitetails.  It's become my favorite for still hunting, blinds, and treestand use. Has lots of common sense features. We call it the "Powderhorn Wilderness Stalker" and it's available from Cedar Ridge Leatherworks, a TG sponsor.
