Title: Great Northern bow quivers
Post by: koger on June 23, 2009, 11:13:00 AM
I have to confess, over the past 3 years I have quit using bow quivers, take away from the balance of the bow and I shoot better without them. I had always liked the look of the GN quivers, but didnt need one. Anyway, I took a strap on model in on a bow trade from a forum member to help him get the bow, thought I could sell the quiver. Well I had to try it out first, strapped it on my Quinn stallion and man was I suprised. With 5 arrows, didnt notice any problem till about 40 shots later, when I started getting tired and form was breaking down. Really light, and the straps finished deadening any sound my bow made. Guess I will have to eat crow and keep this one, cant wait to hear my buddy rant at me about " I thought you was done with bow Quivers"? Well at least I have learned to be open minded and continue to learn on this journey we call traditional archery.

I have 2 different G/N quivers, a strap on and a quick mount.  I really like them.  Alot lighter than my Black Widow 5/7 quiver.

Good to hear as the voice on the other end of the line @ Black Widow recommended one for my PSA they are building.  I like the looks of it, but wondered if it was sturdy enough to handle backpack hunting.

Glad to hear ya'll like them.

I have a GN Quick Mount for my Bear Take Down. The inside 2 arrows kept hitting the bottom limb upon release. I had to make a little adapter out of aluminum to push the bottom part of the quiver away from the bow by about a 1/2 inch. I also have the quiver set back on the bottom to keep it more inside the profile of the bow.

I have the quick detach on my Black Widow and love it!  

PeteA I think they addressed that issue with the newer fames and mine sits away from the bow because the lower quiver post is longer.  Glad you like them, I was of similar mind-set as you until I tried one as well...
