Safari Tuff Arrowmaster and/or Dukier owners sound off!
« on: July 08, 2012, 03:19:00 PM »
There don't seem to be many for sale used, I take that as a good sign!

For anyone that has owned both, is the only difference the accessory pocket, and end cover?

It looks like the end cover is an option for the Dukier.

I had another thread, and other than bow quivers this was the most mentioned quiver, and it looks like what I'm looking for.

I believe the Dukier is a bit smaller in diameter. but not by a whole bunch. I went to the dukier from the arrowmaster because I also wear a backpack and just didn't need the accessory pocket. You really can't go wrong with either of them.

I prefer the duiker and use it at 3d shoots and for practice all the time. The big arrowmaster I tried  the pocket was not that useful for me. I actually plan on selling or trading it at some point.

I love my Arrowmaster, pocket and all--I use it for hunting and tournaments.  A friend has the Duiker--he loves it too.  The Duiker is a bit smaller, no pocket.  I use my pocket for everything.  Great for bug dope, keys, etc. on local hunts...I use it for pencils, scorecards, bottle of water, etc. at tournaments.  Best quiver I've used, bar none.

I use the Arrowmaster.

It is not only great when hunting, but if you have a takedown it can also hold your bow when packing in and out or dragging out game.  

Here is mine on a DIY elk hunt. My two piece longbow is in the camo fleece sleeve in the quiver with my arrows.

Ohh yes I should mention my arrows are 34" OAL will either model be long enough to keep them covered with the end cover?

I did not like the Safari tuff for my elk hunt last year and I sold it. That was a mistake because it's great for stumping and 3-D, so I just bought a used one. You have to try one to decicde if you like it or not!

They dont show up used often and they go pretty quick when they  do. I picked up one used this spring and like it so far, I got for an alternate to my backquiver, I dont like bow quivers on my Hill bows.

I know the Arrowmaster will, and I think the Duiker will also.  Might have to opt for the longer fletching cover--just ask Rod and he'll take care of it for you.

Ron, Rod is always looking for ways to improve his products.  If you can point out what went wrong, he'll try to fix it.  I've used mine in CO and NM for elk--couldn't ask for better (for me).

I really like my Arrowmaster.  I used to think they were too big looking, but I was wrong.   finally broke down and ordered one.  It is very light.  I forget it's on my shoulder.  It's a super product.

The Arrowmaster is our go to quiver for John, Jason and me.  It's the only one we trust for backcountry pack in or fly in hunts.

When it is time to go hunting, the Arrowmaster will be with me. I like the compartment; carries my license, extra string, camera, marking tape, etc. I like being able to carry lots of arrows, both broadhead and judo, and keep the fletching dry. Overall, just a great quiver.

I used to make my own tube quivers until I broke down and bought he Arrowmaster.  Love it.  Never tried the Duiker though.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

If your arrows are 34" end to end they will fit in the Arrowmaster.

Like Centaur said the extra pocket on the Arrowmaster comes in handy.

Inside the larger pouch is another small zippered pouch. I put my license, extra sting, extra shooting glove and some elastic bands (in case I have bulky clothes on) in there. If I need a stringer for the bow I am using I put that in the small zippered pouch also.

I keep my arm guard, shooting glove and a pair of wool gloves I use when hunting in the large pouch. The bow hand wool glove has the fingers cut off for my shooting glove to protrude.

I know if I have my bow and quiver I have everything I need to hunt and that I didn't leave anything in camp.

For me it works out great especially doing back country hunts.

I have the Duiker, can't believe you would need to hold more arrows than it holds, I purchased the cover as well, do not need another pocket, I use a backpack when hunting.

"Inside the larger pouch is another small zippered pouch."

Just a side note--the inner pouch has been eliminated on the latest model.  The camo is updated, as is the shoulder strap and the "spine" of the quiver.  I didn't think it could get any better, but Rod is never satisfied with "good enough".

It has foam in the bottom--just push the points into it.  No rattle problems here.
