I use the Simmons System back quiver.  Light as a feather, quite, and protects feathers in the rain.  I can't find anything I don't like about it.

I used a bowquiver for years till it broke at the range and I shot without it. Amazing difference in the feel of the bow. Sometimes I miss the convenience of the bowquiver in the thick stuff.

I use a GFA-type side quiver or a back quiver. Depends on whether I'm doing more deer hunting or squirrel hunting.

I use a back quiver.  I, too, don't like a quiver on my bow.

There's something wrong with the poll.  How can it come up with 128%?  Is there someone that uses more than one style quiver?

I would LOVE to use a bow quiver, However I have never owned a bow that didnt shoot terribly after putting one on. Therefore I use a hip style, which just as much of a pain in the @$$, while walking mountain ranges.  Personally If my girlfriend is with me I make her carry them!!!!   :jumper:

Bow quiver for convenience. It doesn't seem to affect accuracy. I am planning on trying the side/hip quiver though.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

I usualy use a bow quiver because I don't like to have to have something extra on my body. But I sometimes use a hip quiver. It depends on my mood.

I use a back quiver.  I too don't like a quiver on my bows.  Also protects the fletching from rain.

i always use a bow quiver, but i have always just written off hip quivers just because they seem ike they would get in the way, but it sems like a quite of few people like them. So how wrong am i here about them getting tangled up when trying to manuver around the woods?

Bow quiver now. Much easier to pack and no getting hung up on overhanging brush as with a back quiver I gave away.

I've never cared for bow quivers. I use both a back quiver and a side quiver depending on the situation. If I'm hunting near home or close to camp where I don't need to carry extra gear I carry a Chief side quiver. For longer hikes I carry a Cat Quiver II which will hold some of my gear.

CQII for a number of reasons.  It carries what I care to have with me, protects fletching in wet weather, and I prefer the feel of my bow without anything xtra on it.

I use a side quiver most of the time (GFA). I don't care for a quiver on my longbow,  and this is easier to manuever in the bush than a back or hip quiver.

Bowquiver. I never hunted with anything else. If I'm practicing or target shooting I keep the bow quiver loaded and use a pocket quiver.

You didnt have an option for all of the above.  I use all of them depending on the type of hunting and what I feel like that day.
