I prefer to have the side stalker type. Offers more control over arrows, and quiver while moving through brush and such.
I did just get an EFA for my Griffin, and Im loving it so far...
I have a plains style I'll probably use this year but that Saffari Tuff looks good.

I switched over entirely to using a Safari Tuff quiver (see ad at the top of The Shooters Forum). I do all my practicing and tournament shooting without a bow quiver, and the bow just felt unbalanced when I put one back on it in preparation for the hunting season.
[Edit] or just click Chris's link in the post above mine, which I didn't notice when I was making my post!
for me, hands down it's a safari tuff arrowmaster (or duiker - i have them both!).

Spent a small fortune on quivers over the years, made several myself, modified others...Rod put all the good and none of the bad in one quiver. It's the best I've ever used. I've used mine in creek bottoms, mountains, "high" desert; from treestands, ground blinds, and natural blinds; hunting pigs, rabbits, whitetails, grouse, elk, etc.. I'm no expert by any stretch, but it doesn't take an expert to know this one works.

Here's one I made before fall turkey season began. It's got a sheath for my favorite knife built into it.

Timo lite by dogware is by far my favorite , don't have a pic of it.
Made this side quiver from a old bow quiver. snaps onto your belt.

I'm new to these forums. I am interested in the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster or Duiker, although I can't afford one right now. I have read the detail on both, but wondered what anyone thought that has tried both. I like the thought of the smaller Duiker, but wondered if the larger size and pocket of the arrowmaster is well worth it. Any thoughts?
I haven't tried the Duiker, but here's my thoughts. I use my Arrowmaster for both hunting and tournaments. It's not heavy or bulky enough to bother me. The pocket comes in VERY handy for items like a hunting license, keys, score card, tag, wind detector, etc. etc. etc.
'Course having both on hand is ideal, but if I had to choose one or the other it would definately be the Arrowmaster.
Chad
Thanks LBR. Anyone else with any thoughts?
Here is what i use. I keep trying several differant ones and keep comming back to this one.

A cool photo captured at the right time to show the arrow in mid-air on the off-side of a nice WA billy goat, again using a Mike G back quiver:

I was wondering how many arrows does the arrowmaster hold?
You can put a bunch of field points or blunts in--I think I've had at least 18 (probably more) in mine. With broadheads, it will vary with the head but it will hold a half dozen easily--I'm sure you can put more if you want.
Chad
Here's mine. Hill bows and back quivers - doesn't get any better than that!

Regarding the pocket on the ArrrowMaster, I put all kinds of stuff in mine; license, knife, a small camera, sharpening tool, spare string, flashlight, etc. You can't go wrong with that quiver. And it will hold a bunch of arrows, be they broadheads, judos, or what have you.
Here is what I use. Pretty compact and light which is good when you ground hunt but in trade off it only holds about half a dozen arrows.

I like to use a back quiver for small game hunting.I tryed differant quivers for deer,but i keep going back to the bow quiver.

Made from discarded window tint tube. Keeps fletching dry, and doesn't spill. Nice for the brushy swampland around here.
About how many arrows does the arrowmaster hold? I will almost certainly be using two blade broadheads, and if I'm in the mountains where there are grouse (best eating thing in the woods), probably will have 2 judos or blunts.

Sorry, I had a rough day and forgot I asked this question already. If anyone has any more info though, I would appreciate it.
Just finished making this...

Them are some nice looking quivers.
FreeFeet, did you stamp or burn that design on by hand? Thats alot of work, looks good. Chuck

Thanks.
Burned the threads in with a soldering iron then went over the threads with a dremmel polishing disk (little white felt things) to darken them.
It's 2mm split leather to keep the weight down and then coat hanger wire inserts which makes it incredibly rigid without adding very much weight.
I love shooting with it, the arrows are so easy to get out.
Good luck.
A non bow mounted hunting quiver sounds about like a pair if boots you don't wear on your feet for my kind of hunting.
Keep us posted on what you choose.
