Hey all, wondering what quivers you use that are not bow-mounted?
I use a Side Stalker style for 3D and target shooting and a GFA style side quiver for hunting. Never liked a back quiver.
I also prefer a side stalker style quiver. 3-Rivers came out with one in the last year that is pretty nice. Safari Tuff makes a really nice one. I had one made by one of our members here that i really like.
I use and have a bunch of difference side quivers my favorite is the Jack Bowyer's The WILDERNESS, Side Stalker Quiver.
I use a quiver that came with my back pack for tree stand hunting. Selway waist quiver for still hunting on the ground.
I used several different hip quivers over the years. Recently went back to a bow quiver. Hip quivers are great in the wind, but kind of a pain if you're doing a lot of spot and stalk hunting.
I have one that came with my horn hunter pack and attaches to it. I prefer a bow mounted quiver, but when I was a wheel bow shooter, I really liked that.
I use bow quivers most of the time, but when I'm not I use the GFA style side quiver by Great Northern - the Sidekick. It's small, light, and versatile. I like my razor sharp broadheads to be secure, if you catch my drift.
Started using the Raptor side stalker quiver around 1990. Still use the original one Ted made for me then. I imagine it will still be in use by someone in a hundred years from now.
Another vote for a Side Stalker (Jack Bowyers).
Dryer weather the side stalker
Wet weather or snow I use the alpha quiver from riverwolf. It protects the arrows and feathers a lot better. I have fallen on it and never broke a arrow :)
Belt / side quiver sometimes.
When not using a bow quiver, I like the GFA side quiver
GFA Side Quiver
Safari Tuff for hunting. Side Stalker for 3D's. Have an older now Selway side quiver--used for years before I got the Safari Tuff. Been looking for it a bit but can't find it in the garage full of bins and stuff. Basket quiver and leather back quiver used for years as well for 3D's roaming but not hunting.
For small game, I use a back quiver. Sometimes use a back quiver for big game as well, but usually a bow quiver because I'm usually also carrying a back pack when hunting bigger game.
I've tried different hip quivers, always seems like a good idea. But, I always go back to a bow quiver.

I feel the exact same way. I really like my two safari-tuff quivers for field points... but when it comes to broadheads... I like to have them secured (on both ends) in a great northern bow quiver or the great northern side quiver!
GFA quiver is great too. I should not have sold mine when I hurt my shoulder and stopped shooting for a while!!
A 3 arrow Eagles Flight bow quiver is best for me and hunting, but for toting a lotta wood that'd be a Side Stalker quiver I made over a decade ago ...
I've got a Mini cat quiver. Wish they still made them. I really like it
I have three bow quivers around here, but never use them anymore. When hunting I have a Sunset Hill back quiver, and a Safari Tuff Duiker (smaller model no longer made).
I want to use my Sunset Hill quiver more, but the last few years some of my bow hunting is done during rifle season and not crazy about a tan back quiver then.
I do like the fact that when I am hunting my fletching is covered up especially when it's raining or snowing.
