The simmons quiver is available in two lengths depending on your arrow lenth.  Mine is the longer.  I can put any arrow in the quiver from 23/32" wood to my GT carbons with any tip from blunt to broadhead.  It rotates easily and is extremely light.  You put your head and shoulder through the strap and it hangs down the center of your back.  I use a realtree longarm bow hanger while in a treestand and hang the quiver on it all the way against the tree.  I have a second arrow hanging out of the quiver so all I have to do is reach back and grab it.  It is by far the best quiver I have used.  It also protects your fletchings in the rain.

Here's a back quiver that carrys not only arrows but your bow too.

I've used bow quivers, back quivers, hip quivers and plains quivers.  

I finally took my GN bow quiver, put a wood slat between the straps to stiffen it, added a long leather carry strap and use it as a side quiver.  

It's light, will accept pretty much any arrow or head and very maneoverable in the bush.  When I set up a group blind I just pull the strap off over my head and set the whole works beside me.  Ditto in a treestand.

BTW, Marks quiver caddy comes in a close second.  Unfortunately, the kwikee quivers are too heavy and tight for me.

I would like the GFA Quiver better....
If it had two of the Rubbers to hold the arrows and nothing inside the hood....
    Of corse thats my humble opinon....

Start a collection of Quivers like the rest of us, lol. But I'm with Mark, the Quiver Caddy solves alot of problems. I never go to the woods without it.

I've been using kwikee kwivers for years. I never found a quiver I liked any better so I just kept using it. Now they make the quiver caddy and you can get a bracket that screws in a tree if you hunt from a stand. Gary

My GFA "sling type" quiver is the best (for me) quiver I've ever used. It just seems to work perfectly in every situation. That being said I do still love my catquiver; but only seem to use it when I go to a stand and sit still all day.

FeatherFletch,  It really depends on your style of hunting.  For me a bow quiver works well because I always carry a backpack with water and stuff.  It was mentioned earlier, many of us have a collection of quivers.

I am also really like my GFA quiver. I just didn't like the extra weight of a bow quiver.

I have only used a hip style and the Selway slide on recurve quivers.  Tried both for whitetale and elk and have settled on the Selway.  For me when stalking, climbing, treestand sitting having the quiver on the bow works.  It helps stabilize my bow,helps cut down on movement and also gives me something to hide my face behind.
