I'm hunting with a 56" Hoots recurve this year and have been kicking around trying a bow mounted quiver, probably a 3-4 arrow model. I used a back quiver the last couple years and am using a hip quiver this year, but I think it may be easier navigating thick brush with a bow quiver. It'll be next year before I get one, but I wanted to see some pictures of the various designs mounted on short bows for research purposes. I'd also like to hear your opinions of the various ones. Noise versus a bare bow, maneuverability, etc. I also prefer an angle mount to keep the fletching back out of the way. Let's see what you guys have.

I sure like my Kanati Pro Dual Arc on a 54" Black Widow KB... It is a 4 Arrow Model and I have the integral Piggy Backer for a 5th Arrow Small Game Thumper

If I were to buy one,it would be an EFA with totem.This is a homemade one,using EFA limb attachment,a Great Northern,5 arrow gripper and a Delta center shaft.

The EFA is solid,quiet,doesn't affect bow tune and I believe,about as light as you can make a bow quiver.

Tom here is a picture of my first Slim Jim quiver which is the flat style that can lay on your lap if you hunt from a chair with out rolling off.
This one was one of the first style that John Dill used to make and I'll send you another one he made to match my Hoots and it has the easy on/off fast deployment straps. I'll take a few quick pictures and send to your i phone for you. I also have a Boa small fry from Thunderhorn that looks good and feels just right as well.

I've never really thought of 56" as "short" but I'll roll with it!!!
I've got a Great Northern side mount, on my A-handle #1 limb Kodiak T/D!!! :-)

I tend to prefer a bow without a quiver as far as shooting feel but a bow mounted quiver is just so convenient for me.
On my pic above I just adjust arms to get the kickback I like. Don't like arrows sticking out in front

My next one will be an EFA with set back and Totem. No noise and you wont even know it's on your bow. Advice from a dude that hated hunting with my quiver attached in my wheel bow days now I shoot with it year round. You'll love it.

Thanks guys. I was mainly curious how the arrow length would affect the overall look and feel on the shorter bows. From the pictures, it looks like it may be something I'd like. I've looked at the kanaties and really like them. That Slim Jim is a cool looking little quiver. I see several homemade ones on here. Hadn't really thought about doing one myself. I do a little leather work and knifemaking from time to time, so this may be within my capabilities. I may play around with it next spring/summer and see if I can come up with something I like. If not, I may check in to a kanati. What limb attachment system do you guys find to be the most stable and accurate?
Thanks, Matt

You can check but I think Kanati's are hard to get right now.
