Piggy backers

[khall1]

Any of you guys have any experience using piggy backers while hunting?  My quiver holds 4 arrows and I would like to carry a judo point with me. Any issues?

They work great. Put onto the last broadhead tipped arrow you are likely to draw

Your mileage may vary.  Probably depends on your style and the country you hunt.

I tried using them for elk hunting and decided they were truly worthless.  Arrows moved around too much, snagged on stuff, and regularly got pulled loose.  On several occasions I lost one, then had a loose arrow and nowhere to put it.

X2... Much better off just getting a 5 arrow quiver IMO

If you can fit the head inside the hood and just use a piggybacker on the back end of the arrow it will work better and not let the arrow twist around or get hung up on brush and pull out.
here is a video on how i made a 5 arrow quiver into a 6 arrow quiver with a piggybacker.

I have used them with good success.

My favorite bow quiver is 1/2 of a PiggyBacker lashed to the lower fade-out and a sheath/hood lashed to the upper fade out to make a one-arrow bow quiver.  I use a side-stalker for the remaining arrows.

Works great for me holding a Judo.  The judo fits inside my hood and because of the  way the arrow is in my quiver is snug and there is no movement or anything. I'm using a Great Northern quiver on my recurve.

I would recommend using a piggy backer at the end of the arrow and then attach a half biggy backer to the hood with a screw.
There is less movement this way

as above two piggy backers allow the arrow to move too much IMO

When I'm packing in, I sometimes use a piggy backer or two to carry in one or two extra arrows.  Once at camp, the extra arrows stay in camp and I hunt with a 4-arrow quiver, one arrow is a blunt.  If I should need another arrow or two, I don't need to do a half-day or day hike back to the truck/base camp to get them.

They are nice for hunting. But will pivot around on ya. And I have pulled that arrow for a shot and the piggy backers stuck to the arrow instead of the arrow that's attar he'd to the quiver. Hen I have a critter that needs shot and I'm fussing pulling the piggy backer off my shaft so I can shoot it.

I used them in the past and if on stand and not stalking they worked great. I did modify one to use on my side quiver for a squirrel arrow and it works great!

 

A simple solution that works really well.

Slickhead- Took your advice, modified my quiver and I think it's going to work great.  I'll find out this weekend.  Thanks everybody.
