I have tried both, and prefer the EFA, although I thought the quality on the Kanati I had was a bit better.  Both are very nice quivers.  Can't go wrong either way!

They both offer great models. Coin toss for me. I have one of each make and both are adjustable for thicker limbs, but the Kanati might have a larger range of limbs it would fit.

I perfer the Kanati Dual Arc because it is so adjustable.  If you aren't getting the adjustable one then I'd go with EFA.

I have my Dual Arc tuned so that when I release the string the top limb tip slightly rolls backwards causing the bow to fall into my grip rather than me having to grab the bow after the shot.  It's adjustability also allowed me to tune it to balance the weight just where I want it and position the feathers behind the limbs of my bow so they aren't sticking out in front of my bow brushing into stuff at the ground.  The adjustable length allowed me to spread my fletchings apart so my feathers don't make a velcro sound as they brush against each other when removing arrows while hunting.  The FDS strap system is also nice in that it allows me to quickly remove the quiver when wanted without the noise of the velcro straps if I'm hunting from a tree stand.  Lastly, the adjustable arcs let me put the quiver mounted in the center of my riser so that it doesn't affect limb movement.  This is important so that it doesn't affect the tuning of my bow/arrow combo; as a result, I can shoot the same arrows with the quiver on as without the quiver on the bow and they always go to exactly the same place.  When you have a limb-mounted quiver, you can't always achieve this.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Own both.....use both....both are awesome!  The Kanati is a little more robust in build.  If you want to keep it super light with GOOD quality,  go with EFA. If you are a stickler for UNMATCHED quality with a little more heft,  go with Kanati.

I have both and both are excellent quivers. I do prefer the EFA better as to the way it straps on to the bow...not much of a fan with the rubber straps on the Kanati.

I had 4 EFA and tried a Kanati and went back to EFA.

They are good quality ,Stay secure on the bow, And don't take anything away from your arrow speed.

I have had two Kanati strap-ons. Based on my experience with these, I see no reason to try any others.

Although I have owned other bow quivers before I owned the Kanati, I haven't tried an EFA.

I echo whats been said.Both are great quivers and its gonna depend on what you are looking for.

The kanati is super tough and strong.Very well made!Its heavier.

The EFA is very nice and I generally opt for it on a lighweight longbow.

I think some guys are gonna like the extra massweight of the Kanati on a longbow and some are not.
