Anyone know where I can find one of the old hoodless 2-piece Quickee-Quivers?
Thanx
Try emergency room dumpsters from the 60's. :D
Everyone I know who had one cut them self with them. I hope they are all in the dumpster.
I've got one but I can only find one piece. If I locate the other half I'll let you know. I did find a Kwikee Kover to go with it.
Bob - Thanx much for looking.
I have one with the cover. I am willing to part with it.
Thanx for the replies folks, got one on order.
New ones are still available from the mfg. the last time I checked.
I've got 5 I'm watching at the auction, and they go cheap, but I still like em. Never cut myself on one. Or maybe I did.
The old time Kwikee Kwivers were great for stumpin' or small game hunting with rubber blunts. :thumbsup:

:jumper: Never knew they made such a thing...wow, would I be in trouble with one of those. At least I'd never get lost, could just follow my own blood trail back to the vehicle. :eek:
Charlie....weren't those re-named to Kamikaze Quivers? :scared: :scared: :scared:
Used one quite a bit back in the day and it's amazing I didn't cut myself any worse than I did... a number of times.
As soon as I could afford it I got myself a Bear 4 arrow quiver with a metal hood! The Kwickies could be noisy too.
A friend of my son had one with razor sharp arrows that I had sharpened for him. As he was walking the broadhead caught him in the back of the leg luckly not hitting an artery, but he still lost a lot of blood. I threw mine and my sons in the garbage. Use with Blunts, but please not with broadheads.

No kidding. Even back then we recognized these things as accidents waiting to happen...
I used them way back when. This was in 1959 with a quiver full of Goshawk broadheads. If you carried the heads up you were in dander of stabing yourself in the upper body or face if you fell. Broadheads down and you would get it in the leg or lower body. Couldn't win for losing. Somehow I managed to keep from getting hurt until Bear come out with a coverd hood.

Three Rivers has them, the hood is a third peice that clips on the center arrow. I have one and it actually is a very good quiver, stable and quiet. I wish the hood was a better design though.

Yep, I agree with VA BOWBENDER. I just bought one from 3 Rivers last week. With the hood on you oughtta be safe. For $16.50 I think it's hard to beat. :thumbsup:
My 33 year old daughter still has a scar from reaching into the back of the Scout for a cookie when she was eight and encountering a broadhead in a Quickee Quiver.
I still have two sets of them around but the only way they get used is like this with a homemade foam cover. Of course the last arrow to come out of the quiver keeps the cover attached. :biglaugh:

nice wall hanger or 3d shoot quiver
I just bought one of these...my hope is to keep the Silver Flames under wraps until needed. ;)

I've got something similar on an old bow my dad had. They are just hard foam that slip over the limbs. Heck it even has 3 Hoyt cedars with green bear razorheads in it from Earl Hoyts shop in St. Louis. Used to hunt with that when I was a kid. Nevercut myself, but came close.
I've got one. Its great for stumping cuz you can load it up with blunts and flus. No need for a hood. I think you can still get them new. Check their website.

You could check this out.
Here's what I did to my hood to make it safer and more quiet.
