I set up some hunting arrows for my recurve today, when i finished i put them in my quiver and wondered what everyone else carries in their quiver. So my question is: What kind of quiver do you use, how many arrows do you carry, and what kind of heads do your arrows have.
For me i use a Eagles Flight quiver, with 4 arrows, 3 are tipped with broadheads and 1 is a footed carbon arrow with either a judo or blunt.
I was just intrested to see what you guys carry.
I carry a hip quiver with six broadheads when I hunt deer or hogs. I have three wide four blades and three four blade Delta's sharp. I shoot the Delta's if I want more penetration. If I plan on shooting a practice shot I use a matching practice BH. All are sharp except the practice.Ken
Kinda depends on how many deer I'm going to shoot that day. :D Usually 4 with one varment load.
:wavey:
Depends on the situation...
90% of the time I use a GFA Quiver with 5 broadheads and a Judo (I find that 7th slot in the back side behind the strap mount virtually impossible to access so don't put an arrow in it).
In the rare instances when I want to carry more arrows than the GFA, I use my Adams Arrow Holster with up to 9 broadheads and 1 Judo.
When The situation dictates a bow quiver I use a 3R strap on with 3 broadheads and a Judo...
I use a bow quiver for big game hunting.When small game comes in,i`ll carry my back quiver full of flu flus and other arrows with varirous points. :thumbsup: So sometimes i`m loaded with ammo,no matter what comes from behind the tree.BIG or small. :D
I use a side quiver
Usually 5-6 Wood arrows tipped with 190 gr Grizzlies.
One or two arrows tipped with blunts and a flu flu with blunt.

6 broadheads and 2 judos usually. Joseph
EFA bow quiver 3 arrow. For deer and hogs 3 Magnus Mag I or Ribtek 160 grain broadheads. May start carrying along a footed carbon with a zudo just to take shots at pesky squirrels. May swith back to my GN strap-on to give a bit more room. Have used a GFA style quiver on extend hog hunts a Granger WMA TX where shoots are fast and furius. Makes those shots at a walking deer seem tame.
3-4 is all I've ever carried. I use a side quiver on a strap. Recently got a EFA, but havn't used it yet. Hap
Plains style side quiver, 3 Simmons Sharks,
3 Wensel Woodsman (hogs), 2 Judos.
For practicing, I put 10 arrows in a self-made back quiver. Five are 460 grain cedars, five are 624 grain carbons. Because they fly differently and I am pulling them at random, it forces me to keep my mind in each shot. It's just a little game to keep me amused.
I use a GN 5-arrow adjustable strap-on with four Ace Express broadheads and one blunt, either an Ace Hex or a Judo.
I use various quivers, but none on the bow, ever. The one I use most frequently is the mini Cat quiver. I carry six Magnus or Grizzly tipped arrows. No judos, no blunts, no field points unless I'm stumping or small game hunting. I don't want to blow any chances when after deer so I leave the other stuff at home.
this year for deer I will be carrying an efa 4 arrow with three magnus 4blade stingers and one with a judo point, the arrows are ce heritage150s
Usually 6 in a plains or back quiver. Growing up in NJ and hunting in the Pine Barrens, we would take even more. Use to hunt where wild dog packs roamed.
i use a bow quiver just find them to be much better for me in hunting situations, 5 arrows, 4 have broadheads and one with a ace hex blunt.
Plains style quiver, 3 with broadheads and one with a blunt is my norm.
It varies with my mood. Can't shoot stumps or squirrels without ammunition. At least eight or ten.
Six is the norm for me.... Four 125gr Magnus 2 blade broadheads, and 2 Judos all in a back quiver from Mike's Archery Leather or a deer hyde Plains quiver.
Mike
three broadheads, one judo or hex blunt. Always (while hunting big game. If squirrel hunting I stuff as many nutters as I can in my back quiver.
I use different quivers depending upon my mood for the day.
ChuckC
back quiver from Cabela's ( for now ).. When hunting whitetail I just carry 3 hunting arrows tipped with 160grn Suffers. I mostly hunt behind the house....On hunts in other areas I carry the 3 hunting and a Flu-flu tipped with field point & a hunting arrow tipped with field point.
I use to have 3 or 4 broadheads along now I carry 6 to 8 and sometimes a judo. On a good day here you elk deer bear turkey in a day. Plus 2 years ago I had a buddy run out of arrows (4 arrow quiver) on a deer. Hit it bad with the first shot and tried to force a few through some brush to get another arrow in it. When in doubt quiver out lol
I generally use a Cat Quiver IV. I carry 6-8 with 160 grain Grizzilies and 1-2 with a rubber blunt. If I need to use a bow quiver, I use a slide on Selway on my longbow. I carry 5 broadhead tipped arrows and use the "piggybacker" to carry a blunt for practice. I will occasionally use a leather back quiver as well.
Mike
I usually carry two or sometimes 3 deer hunting.I carry 6 or so hog hunting because I am often a long ways from the truck.There is at least a dozen more in the truck. :)
I carry 3 broadheads, one judo and one hex head blunt. I've been using a back quiver for years. Thinking of trying a GFA side quiver though.
4 in a German Ridge quiver that very easily comes off and hangs in the tree if I am treestand hunting. Woodman's and GT's.
I've been using an Eagle's Flight,either 3 or 4 arrow quiver.But I've never liked a quiver on my bow,and it always comes off when I'm in the stand.
This year I'll be using a possibles bag with quiver attached and carrying 4 birch arrows tipped with WW........maybe a small game head on another birch shaft.
Depends...
If I'm mostly deer hunting, then I use a hip quiver (carried like a GFA side quiver) with four broadheads and two blunts.
If I'm mostly squirrel hunting, then same quiver but with four blunts and two broadheads.
If I'm mostly rabbit hunting then a back quiver with a few broadheads and however many blunts I currently own.
