Title: Skookum Dual Stalker quiver, anyone use one?
Post by: inthere10x on March 20, 2009, 03:22:00 PM
Do they hold securely to the bow without slipping after a few shots? The web site says the dual stalker is for use with single edge broad heads, any using this quiver with dual edge broad heads?

Thanks

Inthere10x, I have one and to answer your question it does not loosen up and I have double edge in it just fine. On my longbow it does seem to put the shafts into tension against each other that may not be good if you shoot wood shafts. It is a nice little rig, but I just keep taking it off based on nothing more than not liking quiver on my long bow, but that is purely personal choice of mine. It is a nice product and have not found any problems with tuning or other issues, good luck.

If you like bow quivers this is the way to go.  It's also the perfect number of arrows to carry, in my opinion, for deer hunting.  In a perfect situation you only need one.

I absolutely love mine.  I keep arrows in mine all the time even when just practice shooting.  I can tell now difference in the way the bow shoots with or without it on.  I have never had it slip at all.  I have never noticed any "tension" on my arrows like Jamie described.  I shoot aluminum 2018's with zwickey 2 blades with no problem.  6 days last year in Colorado without a glitch.  Also if you want to change it to another bow, just snip the zip-ties and put it on the other bow with 2 more.  Hope this helps

I bought one a few years ago and really like it. The only problem I've seen is it holds the arrows a little too close to my hand, but aside from that it's a great little quiver.

Personally, I like having three broadheads for deer hunting. In both WI and IL there are no daily limits on deer, so I like to have the option of taking two or three if the oportunity presents itself and I feel so inclined.

Jason, I'm like you also.  I carry 3-4 more arrows in another quiver that is attached to my pack.  At least 2 more broadheads and a couple of judo's, just in case a squirrel or a stump needs shootin'.

If you like to carry 3 arrows buy a broadhead shaeth and a set of piggy backers.  I have one of these also and that's what I use.  You can just stick the piggy backers and sheath in your pocket when yopu nock the arrow.  These quivers do hold the arrows a little close to the bow but this is still the only bow quiver that I'll use.  I normally use a Dawgware Timo quiver but in some situations you need a bow quiver and this one is light enough that it doesn't adversly affect your tuning or shooting.  IMHO, I would really recommend one of these.  Relativly inexpensive as well.

ArkyBob got one and after I saw it and shot it I got one, too, for our CO trip last year.

Here it is on Bob's. Notice there's only one arrow in it  :)

Notice the mini-cat on my pack for extras.
