What Bisch said, X-6 on the Great Northern.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

A quiver will add to the weight of the bow. The question is will it change the feel of the bow significantly and how will it affect how the bow shoots. At EFA we make the widest choice of bow quivers in the industry ranging from a 1 arrow model up to 5 arrows. (My personal preference is either 3 or 4.)

A quiver can improve how the bow shoots. We have had a lot of our friends tell us that they shoot a tighter group, or that their bow is quieter with the quiver on the bow.

Bought one of Big Jim's quivers recently and like it a lot.  Very quiet and quick to move from bow to bow.

Big Jim's quiver for me.  I have the 5-arrow with the kickback!  The quiver is rock solid!

I like my Kanati Dual Arc.  I never was a big fan of bow mounted quivers until I tried this one out.  It lets you fine tune a lot of things to get it set up just right.

I've tried most of them and they all do a good job and are quality products. My personal favorite is the Thunderhorn small fry. I changed the gripper out and can put 4 broadheads and 1 blunt in mine

I think I have tried them all and their are a lot of great bowquivers.

I like something light with a small footprint that sits close to the bow for balance.The Eagles flight has these attributes and is my go to bowquiver for my bows that are basically lightweight and steamlined to begin with.Longbows and 50s style recurves.I know how to make these fit tight.They require a little more attention to setting them up.No big deal though.I have settled on a 4 arrow hood and 3 arrow gripper.I like the bigger hood and get good fletching clearance with the the 3 arrow gripper.I don't feel like I should need more than 3 arrows.If you need more than 3 go with a 4 arrow gripper

Its an apples or oranges thing.Some want more mass weight in their quiver.Some may like a certain attachment system more than others.Some like a certain look that's aesthetically pleasing or has an artistic flair.Like the Thunderhorn.The thunderhorn small fry is my favorite model they make.The standard strap on or lynx is nice.The lynx is a little heavier because of the bar.It will definatly not migrate up the limb after repeated shooting

The strap on system on the GN is hard to beat with their highly stretchable rubber strap and its lightweight.The quiver sits a little farther from the bows riser.The adjustable model is my favorite for its versatility.

Any quiver listed here by archers is an excellent quiver.Big Jim,Selway,Kanati etc.I really think they are all really nice and its personal preferance.Just like their are so many nice bows.Thier are many nice quivers.

You may have to try a few to see what fits you best and on the style of bows you shoot.

I find it hard to beat a Great Northern quiver if you are set on keeping it on your bow.  The adjustable model will let you go from recurve to longbow and back again.  5 arrows...light, solid, well built.

I have one but never really use it and prefer a side quiver of Lakota style or like the one I recently got from Steve Catts.

I think most will do what you want...it is the arrows that add the weight.  I would go with a 3 arrow setup.   Selway, Great Northern, Big Jim, Eagle Flight, etc...all good choices.

I put a 3Rivers mini-Boa on my Montana and love it. That one holds 4 arrows, and the regular Boa holds 6.

I have been using a Selway for years now and love it. I actually have two- one slide on and one that has the plastic threaded mounts. I don't have the strap on version but will probably pick one up as a third.
