Being that I primarily hunt with Bow quivers I have acquired several brands over the years from Boa, Sellway, Great Northern, Eagles Flight, and a Big Jim's. I got a new bow a couple of months ago and I thought I would try the Marksman Quiver from Australia. Nothing against any of them as I put them to use and have commented on all here many times, now I'd like to comment on the Marksman.
These quivers are made to order and it took me a month to receive it, partly due to shipping from Australia.
As you can see it comes with two different sizes of arrow grippers. Well that is deceiving as its really four sizes. I'll get to that in a bit....

I bought the 5 arrow set back and I have found i can remove the brackets and use it as normal, or i can just remove the hood bracket for normal position and leave the bottom bracket on for a set back angle.
Now to the gripper deception.....
I hope y'all can see this in the pic as each gripper has two arrow positions.... if you load an arrow it might not seat as the arrow is smaller that the FIRST seat. Just push a little further and slide it into the SECOND seat.
So, you can shoot from wood arrows to skinny carbons and anything in between.
Hopefully y'all can see the two seats and the pinch in between....

I have to admit I had a concern when I pulled the bag out of the package. I noticed this quiver was heavier than any bow quiver that I owned. Once I saw the 2nd arrow gripper I said 'ok that's some weight off'. The reason I was concerned is that this quiver is going on a 58 inch RD bow and not a heavy mass risered recurve. I just didn’t want the designated bow to be 'over loaded'. I was curious and went to get my scales.(which I use every 2 or 3 years and just lucky I found them)
Ok, so I weighed the hood, the gripper, and the two set back strap on brackets....
11.11 oz
Weighed the Great Northern one piece strap on....
8.38 oz.... 2.73 oz less.... BUT WAIT!
The setback brackets weigh .63 oz each so 11.11 - 1.26 = 9.85 oz ......
Much closer to the GN..... BUT WAIT!!!
This bow will be shooting 500 grain arrows instead of my normal 585 grainers. So, 5 x 85 = 495 grains..... converts to .97 oz.
9.85 - .97 = 8.88 oz ... just .5 oz heavier than the GN........ I'm good :archer:
In all seriousness the non set back at 9.85 oz is trivial to 8.35 oz.
I will most likely go with the bottom set bracket only as I like that angle.....
I hope y'all paid close attention as you will most likely never see me do that again.

I’m sure you will get to that though.

And the bow is not over loaded. I don't shoot with an open hand, this is just to check balance. So, feeling good and looking good...

I really was pleased today as this is going to be a long time complement to this bow.
I will do a bit of shooting with this combo tomorrow and I'm certainly not expecting an issue.

(stop them fanning to much or rubbing together)
You can also purchase a longer set back bracket separately if you need more adjustment for your setup.
