Title: Backpack and quiver
Post by: Pine on February 25, 2017, 11:14:00 AM
I have a new backpack with an internal frame .
I use a GFA quiver but with this bigger backpack , I can't sholder the quiver .
I'm thinking of mounting a quiver to the pack .
I have a quickie quiver that has a detachable mount .
So do any of you use pack mounted quivers ?
And please give some input and pictures so I can possibly see a better idea than I have .
Thanks ; Graps

Graps, is that an internal frame pack? I used to have a Gregory years ago. I can understand your dilemma. All I recall was some straps and a few "D" rings.

You could probably clip the Asbell quiver to the side.  Perhaps add some loops to the pack for it.

I use a small day pack or carry a climbing stand some times and I put the quiver over my shoulder first then put the pack or climber on. You may have already tried that.

I've mounted a Kweekie Kwiver bracket to a haversack. This way the quiver rides on my right hip for easier access to the arrows. Mounting a quiver to a backpack seems like you would have limited access to the arrows.

Hey Graps, just a thought. Does your pack have a waste belt? What about building or buying a Kweekie Kwiver Sidewinder adapter? This way your Kweekie could hang off your pack belt. Just a thought.

I have packed in for elk only twice, and did a daily walk in once.  Two of those times I attached a Safari Tuff quiver to my pack an Eberlestock Blue Widow.

IIRC, I just attached it with a couple of D rings.  I was happy with the way it protected my arrows.

I've attached a Catquiver Mini to various packs before.  Works pretty well and fairly easy to rig a way to attach to almost any type of pack with straps.

Sorry Graps, my recollection wasn't very good.  I used the d rings on my first pack-a piece of junk.

With the Eberlestock, I used the pack straps. My bow was broken down, but no way was I going to take a shot with that pack on anyway.

X2 on cat mini, mine attaches easily to my Oregon pack.

Oops, that wasn't exactly how I thought it would post. But what RJones suggested should work. Pretty much every internal frame pack has 2 or 3 compression straps on the side. I'd think you could run those over the body of the quiver, and still clip the arrows in place. Let us know if you try it.
