What bow quiver do you use on the short Shrew Classic Hunter?
-
Anneewakee is sponsor and I have two of his pro bow quivers. Top notch!
-
EFA is your best bet. It doesn't affect the handling of the bow in any way.
-
none!
-
I should clarify my position - my 34" arrows on a 56" bow do not work with a bow mounted quiver.... :scared: .
plus, a CH is too sleek/pretty to "ugly" it up with a quiver... :cool:
-
The issue is the shortness of the riser. I put an EFA on it and the two pieces are very close together and with the braced profile of a Shrew the fletch end of the arrows are quite a ways from the bow.
I guess it just looks different because of the bow's short length (54") and the short riser.

>>a CH is too sleek/pretty to "ugly" it up with a quiver... [Cool]<<
BobW: That's exactly my point. As much as I hate straps around my neck I may go with a side quiver or maybe a quiver caddy.

I use an Anneewakee Kanati quiver on mine. They do work out well but the arrow length can be an issue. Here is a picture of my 52" CH with my quiver on. You can see that the arrows stick out past the bottom limb so I have to turn the bow upside down to lean it against a tree or such.

It's a pretty deadly combo:

Having used a bow quiver for a number of years (for no other reason than that is the same setup as the person who brought be back from the dark side, i.e training wheels) I found that I shoot more accurately without a quiver on my bow. And, being a still hunter I find it easier to navigate through the flora without things hanging from the side of my bow.
Not trying to change your mind, just giving you something else to think about.

EFA for me, love those little quivers.
-
I was talking with the folks form Anneewakee/Kanati at Denton, and they have a quiver they claim is the answer to the short riser issue. it is a one piece, that uses straps to attach. They are pretty confident with it. It seems pretty bulky (but then again I am just not a quiver guy so I am probably not the one to comment on it). Might be what you are looking for if you "really need" a bow quiver. I just like my Arrowmaster or my High-Noon-Hunter Stalker..... I also have a Quiver Caddy from Marc Baker. It too is a nice option.

Heres the answer for a short bow. The Kanati Angle. Check them out on our web site. 8.5 ounzes easy on easy off with plenty of adjustability. www.kanatiquiver.com (http://www.kanatiquiver.com)
Shown here on a 52 inch Hoots model. No nocks in dirt! Those are full length 32 inch arrows too!

I love bow quivers. I've done quite a bit of hunting with all styles of quivers. Ive found that I like hunting with a bow as a complete package with arrows installed in a bow quiver. No rattling arrows in a back quiver, no brush to hang a side quiver. The additional weight has the advantages of a more stable shot and a better behaving bow. All points to consider when purchasing a bow quiver.
-
I love the the Eagles flight...but that Kanati Angle quiver looks great. Is there any vibration to it? Thanks...Doc
-
I have John's quivers on a Zipper SXT 56", Hoots longbow 56", and a 54" Shrew CH and they work on all them. I beleive I have the Pro and the fact that you can turn the hood around puts the arrows parallel to the lower limbs so the arrows do stick out in front of the bow.
Works outstanding...IMHO..
God Bless, Pierre

Solid as a rock.
Pierre
Thats a great way to mount the two piece to give your arrows some "kan't"
Glad your enjoying your kanati quiver!!
-
I like my EFA a lot, but the Kanati looks like a very nice system too.

-
John, the Kanti angle looks awesome!! I may have to order one of them here real soon.
-
When I used a bow quiver, the Great Northern strap on style was the best for me.
I think Shrew bows are best shot without any attachments, however.

There are a number of people shooting Shrews and other lightweight bows with the EFA bow quivers. The EFA bow quivers are designed for the archer/bowhunter who doesn't want their bow to be weighed down by the weight of a heavier quiver, or their bow to shoot differently because of the quiver. The standard EFA 4 arrow quiver weighs about 5-5.5 ounces which is much lighter weight then most others.
I have personally shot a Saluki horsebow, Toelke Whip, Black Creek Banchee, Bob Lee Hunter, Belcher longbow, and a Beeler longbow with the EFA bow quiver with no noticable effect. Last year I won the "Eagle Eye" competition in Denton Hill with the combination of Beeler longbow and an EFA Cherokee J-1 bowquiver.
Some of us prefer to shoot a quiver with the hood and arrow grippers in line with the limbs, and some of us want the arrows (fletch end) more in line with the limbs. EFA does make an extension to accomplish this. Only on a few bows do I prefer to use this, however others will want to use it on their bows. This item (4" extension) can be installed on any of our quivers.
-
Don: Have you got a photo of how the extension brings the arrows more in line with the limbs?
-
Lost Arra, I'll try to get a photo up. Posting photos is sometimes iffy with me.

This is an EFA Cherokee J-1 with the 4" extension on a Belcher longbow.

This an up close view of another EFA 4" extension on a Bob Lee bow.

Thanks Don

Thunderhorn Lynx is very nice on short bows.It angles back and is solid state.Its another option to consider among these other quality products.I like the small fry edition sice its smaller and lighter.Can still hold 4 arrows but mines rigged to hold 3.

Bob Steele,
Talk to me about what you might want to order on your EFA quiver before you place your order. I will make sure you get exactly what you want and need.
