Title: What bow-quiver for a Montana
Post by: MikeP in WV on December 28, 2009, 09:52:00 AM
I just got a 2009 used Montana in a trade and want to put a bow-quiver on it. Have looked at Selways, GNs, etc...Any recommendations that fit it best or don't work so well with it? Bought it to hunt hard so I'm not looking for a new one.
Thanks,
MikeP in WV

Hey mike

I see you got the bow. How's it working out for you? I made a new string for the cascade and am working on a few other tuning issues. I'm shooting easton axis fmj's dangerous game weighing in at 700 grains.

On the Montana I used a selway and a great northern quiver. either are good solid quivers. If it helps you decide, I am planning to buy a selway for the cascade. I still have the gn if your interested, but it has a black widow logo on it. That said its very functional but doesn't work on a mag bow.

i dont think you can ever go wrong with a eagles flight!! a nice light bow like the montana would be a good match with that quiver..

it would kinda be unbalanced if you put a boa on it. the quiver would be to much side weight!! gaff

Erik,
Haven't shot the bow yet, it just got there today. Do the bow-quivers affect limb performance any and did you take them off when you got in your treestand? I may just get that GN from you yet...I'll keep in contact.

I'll second the Eagle's Flight. Light and secure, you'll hardly know it's on the bow, and it's removable quickly. The biggest one only holds four arrows, but how many do you need?

not true.. they just came out with the 5 arrow gripper. i think most people would be happy with 5 arra's..

Who makes the Eagle's Flight? Or is Eagle's Flight the maker?  Got a link to one so I can see? Or a link to a post for a used one?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Gaff. I didn't know that.

I have the three arrow, and it's light as a feather. Seems like they're getting away from the original concept a little.

Here's a link, they're a sponsor here.http://eaglesflightarchery.com

they are sponsers here, so ya know they are top notch!

eugene, i can promise you the 5 arrow model is still WAY less weight than about any other quiver made today.. im willing to bet it prob. only weighs about 1-2 ozs. more than your 3 arrow model.

oh, and by the way. i dont get anything from them for saying this. i just love there product! and i have yet to find 1 bad thing to say about it.   :thumbsup:

Selway, Great Northern, and Eagles Filight, Have used all three and have had no problems with any of them........Using a CatQuiver now!!!

I like the Eagles Flight quivers also.I doubt if you will find a lighter quiver,dead quiet too and some say they don't affect bow tune at all.

I don't take bow quivers off bows in the field.That defeats the purpose for me.

I used a selway slide on with the Montana I used to have.

OK!  No, as long as it is close to the handle, it doesn't effect the limbs, especially on a longbow.  I looked at the Eaglesflight myself... in fact I may order one for the Cascade if the Selway falls through... damn... shoulda went that way first.

I tried an Eagle's Flight on my Montana. didn't care for the feel. Not saying anything bad about them. There isn't anything bad to say about them fine quivers in every way. Just didn't care for the feel on an LB. there exceptional on a recurve tho. No weight, no noise & stays right where you put it.

Awesome! Thanks MikeP for asking this. I was wondering the same thing. I had been leaning toward the EFA quivers, but this sealed the deal. Thanks to the rest of you guys, too, for the info!

The EFA bowquivers work very well with Montana bows. I have used these quivers on a wide variety of bows including the lightweight horse bows. If you look at my avatar you can see an EFA bowquiver on it. It was great on that Saluki bow. In 2008 an EFA bow quiver was on the Beeler longbow that won the Eagle Eye competition at Denton Hill.

We started the ultra-lightweight bow quiver trend several years ago, and now offer a larger variey of sizes and styles then anyone. At Eagle's alight Archery we like to say:

"Travel Light with Eagle's Flight"

I bought one of the first Eagle's Flight 3 arrow quivers and though the new models have an improved attachment system, I really like my old quiver. It has held up well and is the lightest quiver you can get. That said, my next quiver will be their 4-arrow with the extra-large hood. That will give me three broadheads and a blunt in a very light package. I wouldn't even consider other quivers. Eagle's Flight has the best quality for the money.

Thanks all for the help and advice.  This is new ground for me as I just got my first Montana from mrpenguin yesterday.  I think you've convinced me to go with the EFA 3 or 4 arrow quiver.  My Montana feels like a pencil compared to my MH takedown with 3-arrow Alpine quiver!
Thanks again All.

Mike, I haven't used an EFA quiver, but I made one very similar to it and use it on my Montana.  I don't notice any difference in shooting the bow with or without the quiver.  My quiver doesn't look nearly as good as the EFA one but it is still really light and works well.  If I get a bought quiver it will be the EFA.  It's a really nice quiver and I think due to the light weight works well on a longbow.

Good luck with the Montana.  I really like mine.

I have used a GN quiver on my Montana.  The rubber strap on type.  It worked great.  Didn't hinder the bow that I could tell at all.  Great bow/quiver set up.  I don't use that Montana as much as I should lately, but thinking about it makes me want to get it down and take it out for a bit.

MikeP,

   What part of WV are you in?  I'm in Morgantown and have a couple you could try out if you're close.  Have a Selway Slide on and a Selway Quick detatch.

Eagles Flight Quivers are great small quivers
