what quiver for 3 piece widows?
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:40:00 AM »
I have an old MAIII that i was wanting a quiver for.  I found a strap on thunderhorn in the classified and knew this was the ticket.  I love the convenience of a strap on and had done quite a good bit of research to know that a thunderhorn was the one i wanted.  Well, I messaged Duane at thunderhorn after i had purchased the quiver from the classified and he said he didn't know if that was the quiver for me due to the MAIII having an 18" riser plus the 3" on each end to get past the fades and boy was he right.  it is about 26" between the hood and the arrow holder.  

Here I am, the season is open, and i don't have a dang quiver to use.  

What do you guys use?  

My widow doesn't have quiver inserts on the side so it really has to be a limb bolt quiver.

How hard is it to put the inserts in the side of the riser?  that may be the ticket.

The Selway limb bolt model is nice. A Kanati strap on might work with a MA, but I'm not sure.

When I use a bow quiver on my PMA it is the bolt on Thunderhorn

I sent my psa to bw and they installed kwikee kwiver inserts for the cost of the inserts plus shipping.  When I bought the bow it had a great northern limb bolt quiver on it. I didn't like the way it changed the balance of the bow. I understand that you probably don't want to be without your bow for a week but it's an option. Or I could sell you the great northern quiver cheap.

I really like the Great Northern Limb Bolt Quiver. Easy on/off, quiet and durable and no need to drill holes in your riser.

How do you like it? I've been thinking of trying one. Does it ever work loose?

You're going to get a variety of answers so, I'll chip in my $.02. I've tried EFA, Kanati, GN, Selway and others. While each had there good points, I now have a favorite. The BigJim strap on quiver is spot on for quick on and off applications and doesn't move at all on my bow. Works on 1pc - 3pc bows.   :thumbsup:

If you're handy, quiver inserts are not hard at all to install. Take your time, read instructions carefully and double check yourself on everything. I've done several bows, (of course they have been older bows with no collector value) and they looked, and functioned, as professionally as any.

Though I already have inserts, I would be leery of drilling holes in my Widow.

I'm going to use a Catquiver this year because the PMA gets heavy with the bow quiver full of arrows attached to it. I shoot heavy arrows and carry 7 in the quiver.   I like to carry 5 broadheads, a flu-flu, and a small game/stumper.

But if the bow quiver is your choice, the options mentioned are all good.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Fellas,

i am always amazed at the variety of answers you from the 'gang.  

I have used a bigjims before and i don't know if it was defected or what, but I did not like it.  moved some, etc.  

Had a Great Northern that i didn't like how the 4th and 5th arrow went in, i preferred the arrows all in a line.  I don't like the idea of having to slide a broadhead tipped arrow so close to my string to put it in the quiver.  

I have never used a selway slide on, but i think that is what I may need to try.

Before purchasing the Selway slide on model you might check out their quick disconnect model. I have one which I prefer over the slide on. I've never seen a Selway limb bolt, but the people at Selway offer outstanding customer service. Give them a call and be sure to watch their video demo's showing how to best use their quivers.Good luck with your purchase.   :campfire:

I prefer a hip quiver. I will add though that I was at black widow some time back and it took Toby about 5-10 minutes to install quiver bushings in my PSA. Very quick.

I would suggest forgoing the bowquiver and look at getting a safari tuff arrowmaster quiver. Best thing since sliced bread!

James, Funny you mentioned that.  I have been using an old catquiver a friend just gave to me.  So luckily i have a quiver.  A friend of mine has a mad dog quiver or something like that, and man, do I wish he would forget it at my house for a couple years! lol
