What quiver would you find the most practical?
« on: August 28, 2013, 12:51:00 PM »
Which of these would you find the most practical for day long or shorter hunting outings:

Dawgware Deluxe side quiver
Catquiver Mini
Catquiver ii

Why? Thanks!!!

FYI I usually carry a knife, compass, rope, jerky and a few other sundries with me in the field
Toelke Classic Whip 48# @ 28"
Big Jim Buffalo 51# @ 29".

The Hill style backqiver for me.  Once proficient with it...it is fast, quiet, carries a ton of arrows, your lunch, and a squirrel.....

It just takes dedication and practice....much like archery itself.

I really like my Bow Mate elite side quiver which is very similar to the Dawgware so that would be my choice.

I think it depends on what Im going after.
for deer I like a bow mounted quiver (mini max 3)

For squirrel,rabbit or roving I like a back quiver
Keeps the arrows away from brush etc.

I would go with a side vs. back style.   I just find them quicker and easier to use.

Safari Tuff Arrowmaster/Duiker or Bowmate Elite hands down, both superb.  Side quivers rule!!  I hate bow quivers and did a back quiver for a while but once I switched to a side quiver I felt like I came home.  So easy to use.

I only have experience with one on your list.  I carried a CatQuiver Mini for a decade.  Most of that time I was hunting with a compound, having switched to Trad a few years ago.

I loved the Mini, but a couple times I found my bowstring inside the bottom part of the quiver with my broadheads.  I was fortunate that it never cut my string.  I remedied this by putting a thin rubber band around both sides of the quiver.  This keeps the string away from sharp objects, and it is also easy enough to pull off if a shot presents itself while walking to or from the stand.

It wasn't one of your listed options, but I'm going with the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster this season.

I started out using a side quiver..may not have had bow quivers back then..and lost arrows out of it in the thick stuff. Tried a back or side..either way, last season and almost forgot it a couple times.

I like bow quivers best.

I have used a back quiver and enjoyed it, but my favorite is my greatnorthern bow quiver. Holds 5 arrows in a quick and handy location. But quivers I've found quivers are like bows, and it's all about the individual

Dislike the mass and weight of the bow quiver-unless needed to stabilize some light longbows. The safari tuff works best for me, rides on the side and does not catch on brush and easy to select the arrow with the point you want to shoot. Back quivers look cool, but are a pain to get arrows out of without a strain. One opinion. Thanks, Roy
Maybe it is time to shoot what I have on the rack

I have used them all and would recommend a Catquiver. Number one reason is that all the others catch everything that you walk through.

Worn and used correctly, you can't beat a back quiver for all around use.Sorry, I know it;s not part of the choices outlined on the heading, but had to say it.   :campfire:
HHA 5 lam Cheetah 65" 48@26
HHA W Special 66" 52@26

What are you hunting for/where? Will you be still hunting or stalking?
I have two of the quivers you mention and about every other type not.
I have found that no one quiver fits all. Depending on the hunt, I most likely will choose a couple.

I like a back quiver for stumpin squirrels rabbits and such. For deer hunting I like the ArrowMaster quiver. I like to strap it to the side of my day pack. I can still retrieve an arrow if needed.

My choice is none of those. I use a strap on Thunderhorn for almost all my hunting. My second choice is a good back quiver. I used a catquiver for a few years but got away from it and sold them.
