Your experience with Kanati Angle Bow Quiver
« on: June 14, 2011, 01:42:00 PM »
In my search for the bow quiver that I want to put on my BW longbow, I am considering the Kanati angle strap-on.  Can you share your experience?  It looks great, and appears to be a good one, per their website.

Does it mount solidly on the bow?
Is it quiet?
Is it mechanically durable?  (Are snaps/knobs/stitchings, etc. holding up?)
Has it affected your bow performance?

Any other pros or cons?

Thanks,
Archie

It was the best bowquiver I ever used. I have no "cons" and all the things you look for in a bowquiver are there.

I have the 6 arrow angle strap on. The only thing I don't like is the size of the hood. It is larger than the hoods on my other quivers and just doesn't blend in to well on my longbows. I know that is just a personal thing. Overall it is a well built, quality quiver. Great people to deal with also.

I picked up a Slim Jim Model and I'll never go back to back quivers for hunting.

I have a 4-arrow angle strap on with the shaft rider attachment for carrying a 5th arrow, on my ACS. The quiver is very solidly made and is quiet on my bow. With the shaft rider addition I carry 4 broadheads and a judo point. I did a horseback elk hunt in Sept and the quiver performed flawlessly. I used a NEET strung recurve case with the pocket on the outside of it. We strapped the case on the horse like a scabbard and when we were riding I  merely undid the Thumbscrews and slid the bow in the case and the detached quiver into the pocket.

I've used a number of Kinati quivers on different bows and have always found john's quivers and service top quality. Right now i have an Anneewakee Addiction bow from him with one of his new slim Jim Quivers (3 broadheads and one rider carried hexblunt) what I've been looking for all along. That way i carry on my bow (even during 3-D season) exactly what I hunt with (and carry my 3D arrows of the same weight in a hip or back quiver for 3D and stump shooting). I love everything about it, including the slim profile. give John (Dill) a call, I can't imagine you'll ever be sorry, no matter which model you settle on.

I have a Kanati Angle Bow Quiver on my Tall Tines recurve, but mine is secured with limb bolts.  Nice quiver is all respects.

I have one on my kanati Long bow and works very well. I like the added weight it has. Also excellent service from John.     Randy....

Have one on my SA3.  It's actually supposed to be on my Firefly, but I loved it so much I called up John and got another set of mounting straps so I can swap it between them effortlessly.

Hands down my favorite quiver.  Just enough weight to be strong as a rock without weighing down the bow like one.  John's a stand up guy to deal with also.  

They're hard to find used, so that's got to tell ya something.

I have 2 of 'em, both on 3 piece recurves, a Predator and a BW SA, both attached with riser insert bolts. Rock solid, and the quivers are too!! John Dill is a stand-up guy.

Had a couple strap-on quivers in the past,(great northern and a boa, I believe), and wasn't impressed. Now, Kanati's are probably better, but I prefer bolt-ons.JMO

I'm thinking any quiver is going to affect "performance" on most bows, you just have to tune your bow and arrows with the quiver attached.

I know from experience that any issues with the Kanati will be quickly and professionally dealt with by John himself, even if it means he has to pull over and take notes!  :)

everything everyone said is spot on about the kanati quiver. it doesnt matter what model it is. all are top quality. when you call john to order your new kanati quiver, you need to specify what arrows you are shooting . if you are shooting beman classic 500 or easton axis 500, they are a touch smaller. you will need the smaller gripper. just a fyi. you will probably end purchasing more then one from john. most of us have. rv

Tried a few different ones. The Kanati 4 arrow strap on angle quiver on my 3 piece longbow is my favorite. Lighter than some and I can't notice any difference in my bow preformance.

Don't know if it's available yet but I saw the new and improved strap attachment system about two weeks ago while shooting with John. Real slick. I own more kanati quivers than John Dill. I perfer the angle to the rest. I think I have the very first prototype angle quiver. Get one or 20. Don

I just used a Kanati angle quiver on my bear hunt. It performed just fine, no complaints at all.

I have an angle with the new strap system and it works very well ( and i even have it on incorrectly, directions not included !!) I have it on a Bear  A Mag ....super solid and quiet.  I have nothing bad to say about Anneewakee and John and I have 9 of 'em.

I just got one that Deerspotter had here for sale in the classifieds and wonder if that is the new strap you are talking about? John I was the one that called you Monday about the bent bracket under the hood that got bent at a 45 degree angle from the Maillady Graemlin...I did get it straightened out and looks good and solid ...I may still order another with just the hood and bracket at a later date...All I can say is WOW i really like your quality work you put into those quivers...It's going to look nice on my "Ugly Hoots" recurve Lee made me...I needed that quiver to make it look good...    :rolleyes:
