what is your set-up for bowhunting, and why ??
pics ???
I take a side quiver and string it up and use it kind of like a back quiver. This gives me a lot of versatility.
I do not like back quivers because I found it hard to secure the arrows without them making too much noise.
Never used a straight side quiver. May have to try it some day, but it seems like it might be too limiting attached to one place.
I have used a bow quiver and actually liked it a lot when using a recurve. Never went there with my long bow.
Back quiver for litter critters and varmits; bow quiver for big game.
Smallest possible bow quiver.
Side quiver, as I don't like things hanging off my bow.

Early season, I like the backquiver, mine is soft, pliable and quiet.
Rainy weather and late fall...Catquiver 3.5...when doing a lot of still hunting and setting up calling.
Bowquiver...when we are way up the Mtns or gone all day from the truck when I need a large back pack...especially in real cold weather when I pack extra clothes.
I have them all and use a bowquiver most of the time and I leave it on the bow.
I usually use a few different ones.A tube quiver when on the ground and a bow quiver when hunting from trees most times.
I use all three at differant times but hang them up in the tree or lay them on the ground when I am hunting.
EFA bow quiver. Its light looks good doesnt effect my shooting and can get to the arrows with minimual moverment
You will eventualy wind up with every type of Quiver know to man or Killy....
So just start collecting....
You've Got That Right Mike! Can't have enough quivers... ;) ...

I like my quiver on my bow, easy to get to plus you can hide from wondering eyes if they happen to spot you drawing on them.
I use the Adcock/Mantais quiver that Art Vencent makes . Ive tried alot of quivers but this one fits my needs the best as the most versital quiver . I do like the EFA for a bow quiver if I were to use one because it does not change the blance of the bow and reduces bow vibartion . If you have never seen a Adcock/Mantais quiver check out Ron Laclairs web site , thats where I got mine .

Anything that interests you as long as it doesn't mount on the bow. I've never understood having a bow mounted quiver, and then remove it when you get to your stand. I've used side and back. Like them both. Haven't tried a "tube" but they look very interesting.
Homemade back quiver. It looks great, but it's a continual work in progress. I usually carry it and string a boot lace around the top then put foam in the bottom. Stops all arrow movement.
And if that doesnt work or im still hunting close to home I just carry a single arrow. I figure I will get one shot at a nice buck, better make it count.
EFA bowquiver for me. I have pretty much every different possible permutation of arrow-carriage you can think of & nothing beats a lightweight bowquiver. Quiet, doesn't flag game, won't rattle, easy to guide through thich brush, you won't need to check it every 5 minutes to see if you've lost your arrows either. You won't need to move or adjust it to get around. Your arrows are constantly where you need them & it's east as pie to see which arrow you're pulling (how many have pulled a blunt by mistake ;) ) Your arrows won't rub together, dulling broadheads & a small bowquiver absolutely will not affect how your bow shoots!
