I am interested in purchasing a leather back quiver. Main use would be for walk through field & 3D courses and carrying arrows from my home to the range. I currently own several hip quivers. If you own one, what is your preference, Hill style or ?? fixed tube type??
Thanks for all of the help here!

I bought 2 of the heavy leather ones about 6 years ago, for my son Tyler & I. They are still like brand new...
They have folded nicely in the middle over time,(as they should) buy are still a little stiff.
You may want to consider the softer one, but either is well worth the price, and will last you a lifetime!!! :archer:

I also recommend Howard Hill Archery quivers. I prefer soft also. :archer2:

I make my own. Like the Hill, I use medium stiffness leather that conforms to your back. No break in needed. I make them and give them away to friends and family. I never saw anyone dump their arrows when bending over, or desire to have a larger one.

I have one of the lighter weight Hill quivers. It does quickly conform to your back and holds the arrows so they don't rattle, but it is a bit harder to get the arrows back in.
On the other hand, I have a heavier weight one that I made that somewhat conforms to my back, but is much easier to get the arrows back into it.
Video I made about using a back quiver is in this post: http://www.tradgang.com/tgsmf/index.php?topic=108968.0

Red Beastmaster: My heavy quiver is modeled after the Hill quiver, so it has lots of room for arrows, lunch and a few rabbits!
I'm thinking that there may be another reason for the larger size: it may make it easier to pull an arrow out because there is room for the arrow to pull towards the off side of the quiver. This would only apply with the quiver setup to have the arrows at the shoulder where drawing the arrow is more of a sweeping, cross body motion vs pulling up and then sweeping down to the string if the quiver is setup so the arrows are somewhere closer to your ear.

I have a large, hard quiver from Howard Hill Archery. It is quite stiff, so it is not, in my opinion, a great hunting quiver due to noise. However, for carrying lots of arrows to the range, it is truly a freight hauler. So if you want to shoot multiple bows at the range, it is a good choice. For hunting, I use a smaller, softer Hill style leather quiver that will collapse against my back for quietness. It holds fewer arrows than the larger quiver, but it still will hold plenty for a hunt.
Sam McMichael, Where did you get the smaller, softer Hill style quiver you mentioned?

I have a Hill style quiver listed in the classifieds for $35 +shipping. You have to be a contributing member to access the classifieds. Just wanted to let you know and you might consider becoming a contributor. There are lots of good deals in the classifieds. For 3d and target archery I don't think it would make much difference between Hill style and a tube style but for hunting the Hill style that flattens against the back would be best in my experience because it is more quiet.
