I am wondering what brand of quivers most people use for their bows. There are so many out there to choose from. Which of the slip / clamp on ones? and for bows with the bolt on styles do the quivers fit most bows or are they specific for that brand of bow?
Thanks!

I picked up one of the Eagles Flight quivers last month and think it is just plan beautiful and well made. You will be amazed how small it is, yet holds 4 arrows. I purchased the Cherokee model.
I have a Selway one, that I now think is just too bulky and ugly for a traditional bow. I will be buying another Eagles Flight for sure.
I have always liked the Selway slip-on quivers.
Get some hot soapy water,Soap up the limbs,Slide the quiver into place,Clean the limbs with a wet paper towel and hang horizontal to "dry" overnite.
The next morning it will be practicaly "glued-on" and will not move or vibrate loose.
I give them..... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I use one of the Eagles Flight Mini-max 4-arrow quivers myself on my TD Souther Draw Longbow and it rocks. It's light, it holds plenty of arrows and I can take it off really easy and throw it on another bow. The craftsmanship is great and it is pretty too (mine has some leather work of an eagle on it).
I also have a Zipper Quiver that I bought to match the bow but that really doesn't count. I like the Thunderhorn BOAs a lot but they are a little bulky.
If you want light yet sturdy and simple, go with the Eagles Flight. 3RiversArcher sells them for $55 I think. They have a 3-arrow model too.

Eagles flight for me also , he also makes a bow bolt model thats not showing on his site . I have both the bow bolt model ( on my take down recurve ) and strap on model (on my one peice longbow ).

I've used Selways for years. Very sturdy and I like the way the lower bracket positions the arrows more parallel to the lower limb rather than protruding in front of it. Would like an even smaller quiver though. If the lower bracket on an EF was like the Selway's, I'd buy one, probablymore.
I don't like anything on my bow, I like to use a Hip Quiver I tried a few years ago and never got used to them they were noisy,and seemed like it added more movement for for game to notice, My opinion ~MIKE~ :archer:
I've been using the Great Northerns for many years now and have been very pleased with them. I recently picked up a slightly used Kanati and it seems pretty nice, too.
I cant get no satisfaction!!!! Might try a Eagles Flight...........z :)
I've used Great Northern for a few years now. It is a good durable quiver.Matter a fact I just order another one for a new Black Widow I'm having built.
I like the German Ridge quiver. Pops on and off easily, but is very stable.

Great Northern Strap on adjustable for my 1pc and shawnees, Great Northern Quick release for my other 3 pc bows. Great workmanship.

I'm pretty much in that same boat too. I started using Great Northern quivers in 2001 and have had nothing but good things to say about them. A month or so ago I picked up a Kanati and really like it a lot too.
I also use a Skookum Dual Stalker from time to time.
Quiver ? You mean...you need more than one arrow ?
:biglaugh:

i use one of the selway slide-on quivers.... :thumbsup:
Thunderhorn have been my choice......
Lance the strap ons are pretty versatile.I use great northern adjustable but have had thunderhorns as well which are great looking quivers.The great northern adjustable will fit the 1 piece bows and also alot of 3 pc bows.The rubber straps are long and will fit around the fadeouts of 3 pc Tds or the top of the riser.I also use a GN limb bolt model.Thier alot of other good ones like eagles flight and Kanati.
The quivers are not brand specific.So they fit other bow makes as well.The great Northern adjustable is a great all around choice for most bows IMO.i got a Thunderhorn Sidewinder on a longbow I just bought.It fits in bushings on the side of riser.Thier certainly are alot of styles to choose from from limb bolt models.,to strap ons,to slide ons and ones that fit bushings in the riser and spring arm styles as well.
My favorites are the Kanati and Great Northern and I've owned and used most of them.
I have Three Great Northern quivers, and a Kanati. No problems with the Great Northern. The Kanti is a nice quiver too, the only complaint about it is the foam insert wears out to fast. The arrows where starting to fall out of the quiver. It was used only a couple months, I bought a new insert and plan to modify it by glueing a piece of rubber bicycle tubing over the top of the foam insert. I think this will keep the arrows from wanting to back out of the foam. Has anyone that has a kanati quiver have this problem with the arrows wanting to back out of the foam insert?
The Great northern is a very well made, solid quiver. It holds the arrows securely, and is easy to take on and off. It also will not move on the bow.
I also have an EFA quiver, and it's great for one-piece longbows. You harddly know it's there. Not as easy to take on and off because you have to take the arrows out and slide the quiver parts onto the limbs. Otherwise the shot vibration loosens the quiver. They are very nice though. The foam isn't that great, and seems to wear out rather quickly.
thunderhorn quivers are excellent!!
great quality and service....
I need a quiver to add weight to my longbow. For some reason and probably because I don't get a chance to shoot as ofter as I'd like to so I was using a Selway slide on. Great quiver.
Wanting to oad another bow, I've gotten a Great Northen strap and like Doc and MRD sttated above I highly recommend it. It adapts to the form of your bow better and you can position it where "you" want it and not where it can fit during sliding.
The Q.D. Great Northern are the best I have found in 30plus years (I am sure the strap on is the same except the removal).Light,quite (totally silent),tough,holds arrows and fletching in a compact bundle,easy to remove if not wanted on the bow while hunting.It has it all for me.Kip
For hunting I use a back quiver, a mini cat. For roving, I use one I built myself, it is also a back quiver.
I use a mini boa from 3-rivers and have not had any trouble with noise or slipping. :thumbsup:

I bought a rubber slip on quiver from Selway.I had to trim (a LOT)of rubber out of the brackets to get it to slide up far enough on a Pronghorn longbow.It works good but is "ugly" as sin.I'm thinking of covering it with some sort of leather.I also think it is too big and heavy.If I buy another one I'd buy the stitched Eagles Flight.
Another vote for Great Northern Quivers. They are simple and have stood the test of time and are more "traditional" :-)- not just the latest fad. Rick is a great guy too. Really enjoyed talking with him at the KZ Expo.
I've had and used most of the bow quivers out there and Great Northerns are my favorite. I love the flexibility, weight, and being able to remove the quiver quickly and easily without removing your arrows. I haven't seen another quiver with all of the same attributes as the GN.

Sure. I carry more than one deer tag. ;)
Since my Pittsley Predator already has the quiver inserts installed, I ordered a Cutting Edge Products 6-arrow quiver. I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.
I like lots of arrows when I head for the hills, though it doesn't compare to the Browning Twist-lock 9-arrow quiver I have on my Groves! The photo in my profile shows it fairly well.
Small Thunderhorn is my choice, so far.
My Kanati quiver has been installed on a shawnee since last July and the foam is in great working order. I've never had the arrows ride back out of the foam. Maybe you need a different size arrow gripper, or install a rubber band between each two arrow gripper holes. I'm using the small gripper and axis shafting.
My fav. is the Thunderhorn BOA SMall fry..
Only challenge is when it gets really cold here in Minnesota, the straps lose there elascticity, and the quiver slips..
I also have a small fry. If you like the boa small fry, you'd love the Kanati.
i like the thunderhorn sidewinder.
My favorite was the Delta strap-on but like the Fox quiver there not in production anymore.
My Cutting Edge bow quiver showed up today in the middle of a snow storm. Thank you, USPS!
I ordered a couple of extra arms, one short and one long, to play around with the different configurations. Here's a composite photo that I put together showing the four configs:

Also available is a stabilizer stud arm. You can also bend twist the long arms to fit under the limb bolts.
I really like the looks of this quiver, and it really hangs onto the arrows. Can't wait until my bow elbow completely heals so I can give it a good field test.

Thought that was the old G.Fred Bighorn quiver. Have owned several. Very sturdy. Balance a take-down recurve nicely.
I've always used a GN Quiver...But that little Eagles Flight is winning me over. It's hardly noticable on a longbow...Doc
Love my G.N. that is the only quiver that goes on my longbow.
