I am thinking about buying a Cat Quiver 3.5 Back Quiver any info would be nice.
If at all possible, try one first. Some love them, some don't. I'm a big guy, and it didn't work for me at all. I bought it from a friend who is also big (he wasn't fat, just tall and broad) and he didn't like it either.
I think they a pretty good. Bought another, CQ II with the waist belt and pockets. The only thing is putting an arrow back in if it's still on your back. Takes some getting used to.I like to load it up with arrows and then keep a solo stalker on my bow!
I like them. I don't like using the waist belt because it makes it hard to sit down with it on and hard to put arrows back in.
Putting arrows in can be difficult. I've gotten good at it so there's no problem there. I keep a "shooter" broadhead in the right side and my sharp hunting heads on the left (I'm left handed). I don't carry a judo or a blunt, but I can shoot at stumps and things with the BH on the right side when the mood hits.
I have the 6.5 RH and a mini. They're by far the best thing I've used.
I've tried the others with the quiver in back and didn't like them too much but the quiver on the side is perfect.
Very well made and comfortable for me.
I have been thinking about trying them myself. Let me know what you think.
I too have a mini and a VI and I like them. I strap the mini to different packs depending on what I am using. Great quiver imo.
I have had two CQs over the years; loved them until I got my SafariTuff. In my opinion, and opinions are just that, the SafariTuff is the way to go.
3.5 in ASAT Fleece...

I have a II and III 1/2. I like them a lot--especially in wet messy weather.
I tryed a CQ-3 and didn`t like it.A friend has a CQ-2 and he likes it alot.They will protect you fletching in bad weather.Check the classifieds for quivers.They show up on there alot.
Cat III.. Loved these for many years.. The perfect stalking quiver.

I have a 3.5 and really like it.This past season was my first with it and it worked out really well.Alot of times i stay on stand all day.It has room to put everything i need in it.Inclueding two large gatoraid bottles to urinate in thanks to a slight touch of diabetas.Overall i think they are hard to beat.
I have three. The mini is the only one I use now.
The other two worked well except when I needed to hunker in and glass. No problems with this with the mini.
I prefer the Arrowmaster by SafariTuff. I've tried most of the Cat quivers and the Arrowmaster is the best hunting quiver I have owned. Second choice would be my homemade Asbell-like GFA quivers made from old bow quivers.
I've got a 2 and a 3.5. I really like them a lot. I either use the CatQuivers (Rancho Safari has provided great customer service to me on a couple occasions when needed) or one of the old strap-on quivers that Paul Brunner/Eco/Screaming Eagle used to sell. I use the latter wrapped through hip/belt loops instead of on my bow. (Thanks to Crocodile DonD for helping me find one after some scumball stole my original).
I have a 3 and use it alot. I like to keep my bows naked or use a solo stalker. The 3 is large enough for a day hunt(lunch, extra sock, rain gear), jacket straps on back. Only drawback is sitting. Easy to hang in a treestand as well.
