What kind of quiver does everyone hunt with?
« on: February 28, 2014, 11:35:00 AM »
I have been using a strap on quiver but I do not like the way it throws off the balance of my bow. So I'm looking for a new quiver. I usually hunt in alot of brush so I need one I can maneuver well with. What does everyone else use?

I have a strap on quiver too and often think about a quiver that would be a part of my backpack that I always have on me.
So far the bow mounted quiver still beats out the others (for me anyway) even taking into consideration the change it makes on bow feel.
My biggest issue is access to the arrow and ease of putting it back if unused- a situation that happens a lot in my own hunting.
The bow mount quiver is really good in this regard.

cat quiver for me. the #3 model- can carry all the gear i need, it quiet, easy to access arrows with either hand!!!- protects both the points and the fletching.
easy to get through the bush- with nothing snagging( side quivers etc)
keeps my bow light- so i can carry it all day.
reduces the "flagging effect" as the quiver is behind your back, and low - so most of the movement is hidden by your body.
and then i use a solo stalker on the bow- for a quick arrow!- quick access and easy return- and very safe.

best sytem mfor me- i like to have a small pack, and a quiver, and keep my bows light- why not a combo!!

These days I use an Arrowmaster.  I have a bolt on bow quiver, a simmons, a catquiver, and a 3D hip quiver.

Only back quivers for me, I hate a how perfectly good bow feels when all of my arrows are hanging on it.  Besides that, where do I put field dressed squirrels and bunnies if there is no back quiver?

I used a catquiver last year for the first time. I'm going to use it again. It worked very well for me.

I use a Thunderhorn Mini Boa mostly, but also have a Raptor side quiver.  You might check out the side quivers, either GFA, Raptor or Safari Tuff.

I've tried them all and as much as I like the feel of a "naked" bow I always end up going back to my strap on Boa   :dunno:

First choice or 90% of the time...

 

Rainy days or need to carry additional gear...

Home made Hill style.

I use the Selway slide-ons for my recurves, had a EFA and liked it but I let it go with a bow I sold. For me the balance or Weight on the bow is not an issue as I stay in very good shape. I can hunt all day or Rove with no fatigue issues holding my bow.

I love those Dave Creger ( sp ?) quivers . Had one until an Airedale pup got ahold of it.

I try different ones but I always seem to go back to my Safari Tuff ArrowMaster.

I've been using a Catquiver Mini for the last few years. Works out fine for my needs.

Wheelchair quiver, or a hip slung horse quiver if the chair has a very low back.  Still too unsteady to go back to standing, but then hip quivers, mostly of my own devising.  Need to post a pic of my new wheelchair one when it's done.

always used a homemade back quiver for me, somewhat like Fergusons'. i hunt alot of thick brush and creek beds, getting tired of dodging limbs/branches with the feathers so this year I'm building a new side quiver like the shrew mantis 6 arrow for big game and use back quiver for small game, birds, waterfowl, and stumps.

catquiver, gets things on my back and more out of the way. A bow quiver makes sense for a lot of people, thinking of picking one up.
