Bow Quiver....Lightest choices?
« on: October 22, 2012, 09:48:00 PM »
I'm looking for a quiver for my Whip. The bow is very light...which I prefer, but any sizable quiver throws me off balance and causes some string slap.  I'm looking for a very light quiver, and one that hugs close to the bow.  I'd like it to hold 4 arrows ideally, but I realize I may be stuck with a 2 or 3 arrow option.

Opinions?

Great Northern is actually a pretty light quiver, five arrow too!

I should have clarified.....I've been shooting with a Big Jim Medium quiver and also a Great Northern longbow quiver.  Both are excellent quivers, but too big for this bow (in my opinion)

EFA is about the smallest, lightest available. They make a 3 arrow I believe. Excellent quivers and they come in several sizes. If you're shootin for featherweight, don't opt for the "wing" setback bracket. While handy, it adds a good amount of heft to the package. I have one on my Kanati and its solid. Good folks there too.

I liked your setup with the big jim... so much I put one on my whip. Give the big jim small and smaller grabber a try or go with whatever that flat leather one is.

Why not go with a back or hip quiver?

I do have a Mikes Archery Leather back quiver. Beauty of a quiver, and I've used it in the past. I would prefer the convenience of a bow quiver going forward.

Jeff - I've been using one of the Mini Boa 4 arrow strap on quivers.  Used it on my Whip when I had it.  Nice solid quiver.

Mike,

I have an EFA Totem with the Wingback that works great on my Whip. With that said, I don't use the Whip for hunting and have no real need for the quiver, which is why it is currently for sale and listed in the classifieds.

A buddy of mine had the same decision to make with his Whip. He went with an EFA and is very happy.
