Bow mounted quivers?

[Stixbowdrew]

What do you look for in a bow mounted quiver and why? I like a quiet rock solid quiver that holds 3-5 arrows, I shoot a selway for those reasons.

I wanted a high quality quiver that was rock solid and held my arrows tight.  I also wanted a detach system.  I went with a Great Northen Quiver.  Great choice for anyone looking for a bow quiver.

1. Screw mounts
2. 1-piece quick detach (I detach on stand)
3. 4-5 arrow capacity (very narrow holder)
4. Secures broadhead by point only, no edge   dulling foam
5. Very light weight
6. Hood is deep enough to cover blade length

Right now I'm using a quiver by G5. There are two problems with it:

1. Since I have no Kwikee mounts on the bows I'm using it on I use one screw (top of riser) and velcro for bottom screw.

2. The hood isn't deep enough to cover the bottom of my broadheads.

I've thought about adding inserts for a Kwikee-style quiver bracket.

One of the coolest quivers (except not a quick detach) is a Habu. The screws for this quiver actually fit inside the limb bolts.

I ordered a Thunderhorn Linx with custom engraving should go nice with my Tall Tines thats on the way!

Ill put up pics when I get it in

Either the 4 or 8 arrow Bear spring arm quivers are as far as I need to look.

Lightweight, solid and 4 or more arrows.  Bought a GN 20+ years ago and have used them ever since.  I have a Kickback now that I extended the hood on to carry Grizzlies.

Quiet is a relative term and what may make one shooter cringe, another may not notice. I apparently cringe easily as I.M.O. quiet and bow-mounted quivers are not likely to happen together. My Great Northern Sidekick however is absolutely silent at the shot.

For me if the quiver is on the bow, I want to shoot all the time with it on.  I want a quiver to be rock solid in mounting and as close to the bow as possible.  I also like enough hood, and one that is very protective in the event of a fall onto the bow.  Many quivers are too far away from the bow and I have never liked the feel of the lop-sided weight.  I am shooting a quiver that I built from pieces of other quivers.  The hood is an EW Bateman, the gripper is a GN, and the bracket is made from aluminum strip I bent.  I like that the weight of the quiver hood is close to the bow and in a good location for weight distribution.  The guys in California that shoot the bow quiver extended in front of the bow probably have the best quiver for all out accuracy in a bow mounted quiver, distributing the weight to the front like a stabilizer.  

Here is a photo of mine that I made before it was finished out.

I have used Thunderhorn quivers almost exclusively now for last few years.  Rock Solid, easy to attach/take off, great quility and many models to choose from.

They don't get much easier than the slide ons

I want solid and quiet in mine. I use GN and Thunderhorn lynx. Both work great.

Eagle's Flight strap-on.  Quiet and not too heavy, holds four arrows.  Looks good, too.

Light, doesnt rattle, and holds arrows securely. I love my great northern adjustable.

EFA 4 arrow model...light, secure and quiet which is all I want
