I have read that the Howard Hill BQ is very good---and they have been making them along time now.

I really like my arrowmaster. Its quiet and carries well. I have used it heavily for several years and it has held up well.

I like Hill back quivers and almost anything by Steven Catts.  He makes a ton of different styles in different leather thicknesses.  Check out his website --hidehandler.com

I've been using a Hill back quiver for a couple of years.  I have no complaints with it and use it in any situation where I can get away with not carrying a pack.  If a pack is necessary, I am happy enough with a "Pope And Young" type of belt quiver, as illustrated in the book, "Hunting With The Bow And Arrow".  Jay Massey's book, "The Bowyer's Craft" also includes a nice design for a belt quiver.  Best of luck.

The Arrowmaster for me. I hunted with a Hill style quiver for years and then went to a Cat Quiver for many years. I have now moved on to a Arrowmaster and won't turn back.

The Arrowmaster rides well and will go through anything you can get through without hanging up. Also the arrows are so easy and convienent to get out when needed and put back in when you want to. I just used mine on a elk hunt. I had a Harrrison two piece 62" El Lobo. I was able to break the bow down and put it in the fleece sock in the quiver with my arrows when packing in and out of the back country. It made the trek a lot easier.

I liked the Hill quiver from a nastalgic perspective but in my case it was noisy (unless you put some foam or material in the bottom), didn't cover the fletching and not the easiest to get a arrow out of with minimal movement. The Cat Quiver was good but getting an arrow back in was not easy.

I would try all three before I made a decision if I were you.

Good luck

David Miller makes a really nice Hill style back quiver as does Mike's Archery Leather, a sponsor here.  Nate Steen, Sunset Hill, makes top quality back quivers as well.  These guys build quivers that work well in the field....lots of pretty ones out there that don't do so well in hunting conditions, though.

I have a bunch of them . The Howard Hill Archery is great value and readily availiable and I beleive they do different leather thickness' ... I have had mine for 15 years or so and it has never let me down. It is quiet and easy to use ...

I also have a Sunset Hill [ thanks Dave Mitchell ! ] and it is an absolute sweety !

And my Arrowmaster is about as well thought a quiver as I have ever used . I love my leather quivers but for pure hunting versatility and feather protection the Arrowmaster wins hands down every day of the week . Rod is a great guy to deal with and stands by his product .. as he should ... a fantastic bit of archery tackle .

Another vote for the Howard Hill Archery quiver. I got the soft latigo leather version, and think it's the way to go [as opposed to the stiffer leather version]. As somebody mentioned earlier, if I can get away with not wearing a daypack then this is the quiver I hunt with... for whatever I'm hunting.

Steven Catts.  I recommend getting it without the pouch no inside lacing to catch on broadheads.  When I use Grizzly broadheads the near squared off back on the blades sometimes catches on the lacing.  With Zwickeys it's not a problem. Great quivers. I have a large Hill back with Kimsha Bottom. Not sure what that Kimsha bottom is but that was on the invoice.  I also have the 3D side kick.

Art Vincent,s back quivers work very well and are works of Art(as it were...).
I got a Cat quiver on St. Judes this year that I like the look and feel of. Time will tell this season but the thing sure feels secure.

Steve makes quivers for KimSha archery.
