Their 5/7 quiver is a good one. Your bow has to have the inserts to use it though.

I like the original 5/7 quiver. You need the holes, but you can take it on off with the bow stung too, and this is a plus

Don't know what you'll do predominantly, but as a hunter, I'm going to a kwikee.  I have an SAIII with inserts and the 5/7.  However, I don't like to shoot with a quiver on.  Since I'm a stand hunter for the most part, I have treestands on my back during the "commute", making back and shoulder quivers inconvenient.  The kwikee will hold my arrows for the walks in and out, and come off quickly once up in the tree.  The 5/7 is cumbersome at best with bare hands and warm temps to take off, in the dark with gloved, cold hands is even worse.

Best,
Dave

If you have the inserts, I would also recommend the 5/7.  If not, try the Great Northern.  I use this quiver on my other bows and it is really super.

I use a Kwikee 3 arrow and a 6 arrow on my BW Graybark. On and off qiuck and as I said on anothe post, if its good enough for Barry Wensel is good for me. They just work well.

Dale,

Call BW and they can tell you the cost of insert installation.  That said, there are some excellent quivers available that do not require inserts.  Go to the BW website and you will see several listed.  One of them will likely meet your needs.

I use the Thunderhorn Sidewinder on my Black Widow, it mounts to the inserts in the side of the riser. Works great! It is even embossed with the B/W logo.

I am bad at remembering names but I used the small (Thunderhorn, I think) bow quiver with the rubber limb straps until I found a good deal on a BW quiver that screws to the riser.  The Thunderhorn was great and had the added advantage of being easily removed.  
Then I bought an even smaller EFA quiver for my selfbow, with velcro straps.  If I had to use my recurve I would use the EFA.  It doesn't hold as many arrows but is smaller and lighter.
But all of the quivers have their advantages and all work well.

A Selway works very good. If you get a limb bolt mount make sure you get the longer limb bolts. Check with black widow.
