I'd saw my self bow up and burn it before I'd shoot one without a bow quiver. LOL   :bigsmyl:

I tried all of the different style of quivers and they were all top quality units.  I lost a lot of money in the process.  The one I use is the Elite.  Why?  With back quivers and uncovered side quivers the arrows got hung up when I stalked through heavy brush and they also collect moisture and leaves. With the Elite, the fletches are covered and protected.  It is also a hard case that can handle a lot of abuse when climbing around rocks or when transporting arrows in a fully packed vehicle.

side stalker and simmons tube - seabound love that quiver you made. I gave up quivers that mount on the bow 15 years ago and it has paid off big time.

GFA for me also . That quiver is so simple and it is only limited by your imagination .

I strongly feel that the GFA is the best hunting quiver available.

The Mantis that Art Vincent makes for me. It comes in a 4 or 6 arrow version.

I am using an Absorkee Quiver from far west leathers and love it so far. It is great with a pack or with a stand on your back.

I also have a simmons tube and homemade dog ware style love them when not carrying stand on back.

Just can't stand having a bow quiver on my light slender sparrow-hawk not to mention flagging critters!

I like a Quickee that I take off my bow when I get to my stand....yea I know ,nobody wants to put holes in their bow and mount the bracket...but it works really well for me. I also use the same quiver with a home made Mark Baker type set up, that works well also. Some many choices, you have to try and see what works best for you.

Absorkee by Farr West Leathers. The one style has a place for blunt tipped arrows. Very functional, rides well, looks great, stays out of the way & easy to retrieve arrows quickly. Can't ask for more in a quiver

In about six weeks I'll be able to give you a review of the Cedar Ridge Powderhorn Art is making me.  I've always used bow quivers because they are so handy but like you I have never really liked them.

I attach a BigJim bow quiver to a stick with a strap on it. You can even attach two quivers to the stick to carry more arrows.

The Absorkee Quiver!  This is the Emigrant, it holds 5 broadheads, and has a dedicated pocket for a judo point or rubber dub.
Thanks Guys

I can already see this site is going to be helpful. The Grizzly I just bought came with one of the Bear green bow quivers but I never liked shooting with a bow quiver on my compounds and I didn't want to use one on a recurve either. This thread has given me some options. TNX
