What is the best strap on long bow quiver,my limbs are trapezoid shaped .Some say that some strap on quivers do not stay in place on this limb type it is a one piece .
I preffer the thunderhorn boa.
Thunderhorn small fry lynx hasn't let me down yet.
I have had a bunch. My personal favorites are:
1.Great Northern
2. Thunderhorn boa.
Selway
BigJim hands down , the best out there

What drewsbow said, best for the buck also
I like my Great Northern a bunch.
For almost 20 years.
But I have not tried ALL the others.
Great Northern!

Great Northern is my favorite.
Yeah I have used Great Northerns for years. They work on every limb design out there!
Selway slip-ons are my choice. Fit anything and if you slide them past the fadeout tips, they don't move regardless of limb shape.
I have had a Selway strap-on quiver on a BW longbow and it was ok. I have a Kanati now on my ACS and I love it. It's small enough to not get in the way, but still large enough to hold large broad heads. The owner, John, is an old friend of mine, so I might be a little biased. He is a great person to deal with and makes a great product.
I just received a Thunderhorn Lynx Small Fry adjustable strap on quiver for my Stewart Slammer. This quiver is rock solid. It adds nice wait to the bow. I'm used to a heavy riser. I have a couple Great Northern Quick Mount quivers which work fine. I will say the Thunderhorn feels and looks more heavy duty. I sent Thunderhorn a picture so they could match the bow.
I prefer Great Northern
Great Northern are lightweight, look good and offer stability. Also, the hard rubber broadhead holder grips the head, they dont get loose.
Great Northern or Kanati strap on
I have a Thunderhorn small fry lynx on my longbow. I hate bow quivers, but love this one. I sent pictures in of my bow and they matched the color of the leather with my bow. Awesome quiver. Rock solid.
John,
I had a JD berry Argos with similar type limbs like you are talking about, our longbow slide on version worked exceptionally well! If you have any questions please contact us through PM here or call us at 734-856-4302.

I would recommend the 4 arrow EFA Cochise model. It's made of quality horsehide and won't break your budget. It is available in several colors.

Ive tried em all but GN and imo, the Thunderhorn is the most solidn..but on thick limb longbows it may not work as well, not sure. The TH doesnt budge and is rock solid.
Sorry,I forgot about the EF quiver , but I have to tighten the screw up periodically to keep the hood tight.
EF has a the best strap system. EF or TH you will get a good quiver.
Selaway is a great quiver but a little too big for me.
TGbow, how could you forget about the EF quiver? (Ha!) Just because we're not the biggest nor the oldest manufacturer, nor have the exposure of some of the other guys, you shouldn't forget us. After all, we have more variations and a wider range of bow quivers than anyone else.
We snug the hood and gripper screws pretty tight when the quiver is made. However, if you twist it to align the hood with the gripper, sometimes it will require retightening the philips screw that controls it. After that you should not have to tighten it.

Great Northern and Big Jim's. :campfire: :coffee:
Big Jim hands down. 3 years on 3 different bows not a single issue
kanati pro angle. great northern. big jims. I own them all and they're all fantastic.

LOL..yea, that's what I get for tryin to respond in a hurry,,bad thing is I have a EF quiver, there's pros and cons to all of em but the TH and EF are my favorites.
I like the EFA. The strap system is simple and they stay put.
I agree the trapezoid limb can make a quiver a little more prone to slipping.
some are trapped more than others.
I like a very light quiver without to big a footprint on a longbow.
The GN stetchy style strap that's like a huge rubberband should be a really tight fit.I like the adjustable model for its versatility in fitting bows of different riser lengths.
I use Eagles flight quivers alot.I like the smaller ones.They don't swallow up the bow and sit close to the riser for nice balance.Thier as light as it gets.They look nice on longbows with smaller risers and 50s style recurves.When you put the arrows in it.It will add a little bit of mass that feels good.
Thunderhorn Lynx for me also. Best bow quiver I've ever owned/shot.
I have three longbows. I have a Kanati Pro on my Kanati long bow and it is solid. I have an EFA 5 arrow strap-on on my Shawnee. I have a Selway slide-on on my Whippenstick. I would recommend them all! Neither has ever moved and for a strap on I would think it is hard to beat an EFA. The EFA strap system is superior to all the other strap systems mainly because it does not use a stretchy rubber strap that will one day break.
Questions on the Eagle Flight Cochise
How is the feather clearance on the four arrow model with let's say 5" feathers, or do you have to orient the arrow to provide clearance.
Hand clearance between riser and arrows can you grip the bow while carrying bow with string down and bow horizontal. Like walking to stand.
The only time that I recall any problem with clearance for the bow hand was with one of our flat Mesa quivers which initially didn't have enough clearance on some bows. Once that was corrected I haven't heard of any problems.
Feather clearance can usually be accommodated by arrow placement in the hood. For wood shafts and 5 1/2" fletching we recommend our larger size gripper which gives more clearance. It works well for 20-23/64".
What Don said...
I will add that I use my standard 4 arrow on a recurve with 5.5" fletching. It is very easy to situate 2 blade heads in the hood to allow fletching clearance. It is a bit more difficult with multi-blade heads, but that is why I ended up buying a 5-arrow model. I will also add that even the 5-arrow model is extremely lightweight!
Great Northerns wont move.
To stop the quivers from sliding I rolled a castration band over the limb and up tight against the strap, and they never moved not even in cold weather. These are the little green rubber bands that we use to make bull calves steers.
