Recommendation for a lite quiet 4 arrow bow quiver
« on: September 01, 2013, 08:59:00 PM »
I haven't used a bow quiver in many years. I am looking for a recommendation for a quiet lite 4 arrow recurve bow quiver.

Any suggestions from experience with them would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the Kanati pro... it's quiet, light and holds 4 arrows.

EFA, you won't even know you have a quiver strapped on your bow.

I have EFAs, Kanatis, and just added a Big Jim. I can say good things about all of them.

The Big Jim is really slick the way it goes on and off quick and is rock solid and light.

The EFA is the lightest. I really like it on recurves.

The Kanati is rock solid and the craftsmanship is outstanding.

Take a look at all three before deciding.

Thanks I will look at all three. I have a old Bear I intend to do some hunting with this year. I was trying to get a Bear leather top 4 arrow spring arm quiver for it. This old bear is strictly hunting, so I am going to spring for one of the three mentioned.

I was just concerned with it rattling around or coming loose, but it sounds like all three are rock solid.

Thanks for the advice.

Thunderhorn makes a nice two piece, bolt-on color matched model if your Bear has the side inserts. I've got one on my TD. Looks sharp, doesn't move. Probably not the lightest model, but least as light as the Kanati.
I also like my Big Jim's. Light as a feather, wiggles, but doesn't come loose.
I've never seen the EFA. Heard good things about them.

I use a Thunderhorn Small Fry on all my recurves. It holds 4 arrows and can be ordered with different attachment systems. You can order strap-on, the two point bolt system, which utilizes the limb bolts or a bolt on, when you have quiver inserts. Great craftsmanship and a joy to use. What I like is that all the small parts are separately available, if something gets lost or damaged.
And the people from TH do a fantastic job, can make the colors like you want them ( mail them a pic from your bow and you'll be amazed)  and are a pleasure to do business with!

The only two I've tried were one from Alaska Bowhunting Co. and the Eagles Flight Archery. The ABC one had rubber straps and one of them broke in no time at all (maybe I did something wrong?   :dunno:  ). I really like the EFA one, though. The velcro straps stay where ya put 'em, without any sliding or slipping or any problems at all, so far (about 2 years now). Not too fancy, but not by any means unattractive. And you can easily move it from one bow to another without the bow needing to be unstrung. I'm happy with my EFA & will probably get another for for my other bows.

I love my EFA mantis. Works awesome for my two blades.

Thunderborn Boa small fry for me. Light, attractive, solid on the bow. I even put a five arrow gripper on mine and it works great

I'm going to the woods this year with the Kanati pro model (10-24 inserts)side mount.  It holds 4, solid, light and looks good on my new bocote Tall Tines.  I've used numerous bow quivers since the 60s and each one was better than its predecessor.  I do believe I've found the "perfect mouse trap" with this one.

I don't always use a bow quiver, but when I do it's one of my two Thunderhorns. Tight and quiet.

Tsalt, that quiver really needs to be moved down a lot closer onto the fade out on that limb.  Man that has to be affecting your limb.
