Bow Quiver....Lightest choices?

[DeCurry]

Same situation here -- I have a Whip and was using Big Jim's medium size quiver but -- even with only 3 arrows -- it was causing torque whenever I'd shoot and I was missing shots.  (Great quiver, though, just too heavy for my needs.)

Strongly considered a side quiver, but I decided to give the EFA 3-arrow quiver a shot before abandoning the idea of a bow quiver on my longbow.

The EFA is very light and doesn't affect my shot.  Have been on a few hunting trips so far this year with it and have been very pleased.

This two blade two arrow quiver and the GNBQ are the lightest I've used.

That's good to hear

cant get any lighter than "no quiver"  just stick a couple extra arrows in your bow hand like those african tribesmen do    :D  haha

I got my EFA 3 arrow mini today.  Two small complaints and they're minor...3Rivers lists it at 3.7 oz.  It weighs right at 5 oz. on my scale. I know that doesn't seem like much, but I was surprised. Second, I wish I'd gotten black instead of the brown...the brown is a funky dark color that might as well be black.

Other than that, I really like the functionality of it. I will be hunting with it this weekend to further test it. It is still light enough and balanced enough that I shoot my bow well without any of the problems I was previously having. I spoke with Don on the phone Tuesday morning...he was kind enough to ship it priority so that I received it in two days. Can't beat that kinda service.

I would buy another quiver from them in a heartbeat.

I made this one for my Hoyt Excel. I used two of the Black Widow "Ace in the Hole" leather broadhead cover and clips. The brackets are made of very thin light weight aluminum.

TxAg, that's interesting about the weight of the EFA mini quiver. They usually weigh between about 3.2 and 3.7 oz. I'll make it a point to weigh some soon to see if something has changed and come back on with that info later. The brown color that you mentioned was selected because it is a neutral brown that goes well with most bows.

Good luck on that hunting trip.

Always good to get info from the manufacturer. I'm interested in what you find, but I also want to let you know I'm happy with the  product. Thanks again.

TsAg,

I weighed two of the 3 arrow minis this afternoon and they were about 4.4 oz. each, which surprised me. We have made a few upgrades but I was not aware of anything that would add an ounce to it.

I am looking for a quiver too. I think I am sold on the EFA quiver. But, I have a few question for those with EFA quivers. On the reviews on 3 Rivers, there were complaints of the quiver slipping and the leather being poor quality. What are current owners thoughts on this?

I've been using my brand new one all weeknd and it hasn't slipped. Dn't see how it would if it is installed snuggly.

As for the leather, seems fine to me.

I just purchased a  whip and now I am in the market for a quiver as well.  Does anybody have the 4 arrow maxi or do you all recommend the 3 arrow mini for the whips.  Just thought an extra arrow would be nice.

[wapitirod]

Well you guys talked me into one too!  I oredered the 3 arrow mini limb bolt design to experiment with on one of my recurves.  My wife may start to not like you guys as this isn't the first time someone else made a post and I made a purchase.  

[PeteA]

Big Jim's bow quiver.

If you get the 4, let me know how you like it.  I don't "need" an extra arrow, but it couldn't hurt....maybe a blunt or something.

Does the EFA quiver leave any black marks on your light colored limbs? I have a great northern quiver but it leaves black marks on my limbs.

Here you go guys, I have 2 of the 3 arrow model and 1 of the 4 arrow models.

 

This is the 3 arrow with Magnus and Zwickeys in it. I didn't even try putting my Centaurs in the 3 arrow model.

Nope. I have light colored myrtle limbs and had the quiver strapped on tight all weekend. Took the quiver off today and you couldn't tell it had ever been there.
