Your preference on a hunting quiver

[bowkevin]

Just curious what type of quiver you like to use for hunting and the advantages and disadvantages if any? This will be my first year with the longbow and I wanted to see what works for everyone else. i will mainly be hunting whitetails from treestans and the ground occasionally but next year hope to try spring gobblers also.

I have two Selway slide on quivers. Like them both but they tend to move slightly every now and again. I have put double sided tape on the bow limbs to hold the quiver in place better. I also have a Thunderhorn two piece that mounts on the riser bushings of the bow. These are the best quivers I have found in my opinion. You can set them up to hold 1 to 6 arrows. I just bought a Thunderhorn Boa in the Small Fry model for my new longbow. It should be in the mail tomorrow. Check them out. They are nice quivers

A bow quiver is the best for me.  All my arrows right where I need them and easy to manuver through thicker stuff and I can bend over, or stoop without a side quiver sliding all around. With bows being so light these days the quiver doesn't add much weight at all and actually helps stabalize the bow a little. JMHO - YMMV

I am currently using Great Northern strap on's, but the Kanatis with the angle bracket are Sweet!!
The ONLY thing I don't like about the GN is the two arrows tucked in next to the riser.  But if you go though enough arrows to have to use those two, you are having too much fun to care about it!!  :D

I use a boa strap on quiver. Steadies my bow, absorbs a little shock and you have your arrows where you need them all the time.

After all these years I still haven't decided what works best!!

I use Thunder Horn Small Fry BOA

For a bow quiver Selways are great but they're more bulky than the Eagles Flight and after using both I prefer the Eagles Flight.  Eagles are usually a bit less expensive and they are featherweight.

For a hunting hip quiver, I'd give Steve Catts a call and order his Hip Hunter.

I like my arrows at my hip.
Here are two of my favorites. I find very little difference between using a Safari Tuff and a Dawgware.

 

 


This interferes with a fanny pack, so I might use a bow quiver. This is an EFA Totem, It is rock solid and light.

I've missed enough first shots over the years to know that I better have the next one at my fingertips.  Crawling thru sage or tundra would just be too hard with a hip quiver.

[Stumpkiller]

As Ron W alludes - different situations call for different quivers.

I find a side quiver (w/foam insert for broadheads) is the best overall choice for my needs.

 

I also like a one or two arrow bow quiver when still-hunting for that all important first shot.  But waving six yellow-fletched and crowned arrows at a deer from ground level in a bow quiver . . .

I went on a caribou hunt in 1997 with aback quiver and came back and put a bow quiver on and it has never come off. That back quiver got in the way of everthing. I've never regretted using a bow quiver and i like the selway and delta models. The thunderhorn strap on one would come loose on my bow while hunting.

[landman]

Killdeer's possibles bag and quiver combination is a great way to go and of course she is dead right with the EFA (Eagles Flight) if you want it on your bow.

Back quiver from Mike G:

I prefer a bow quiver ... bolt on or strap on models depending on which bow. I really like a bow quiver better on my long bows to add weight and balance in my bow hand. I have used Selway and Thunderhorn with good results.

I have tried hip quivers but was not for me, too much trouble in thick stuff on spot and stalk.

[jr1959]

I've always preferred bow quivers and I really like the GN strapon.

[BWD]

Side quiver on the ground, bow quiver up a tree.

[bowkevin]

Thanks, I'll look into some of these.

[Rob W.]

GN strap on for me. Adds a little weight and quiets my bow.

[Bowwild]

I shoot recurves. I use bow quivers that can be removed while practicing and when I get on stand. I like my quivers to be 4 or 5 arrow jobs as I carry 3 broadheads and one field tip. The field tip is for a shot at the end of a morning hunt.

My favorite quiver is one I bought from Big Jim a couple of weeks ago. It is a strap on which I didn't think I'd like until I watched his video.

[sawtoothscream]

i have a selway for my bear kodiak but dont really use it anymore.  going to buy one soon for my long bows. eagle flight or big jims are the ones im looking at.
