Title: best "strap-on quiver
Post by: jackdaw on May 23, 2010, 01:26:00 PM
Hey guys...what are your opinions of the following strap-on quivers for a RECURVE. The "Kanati" cant slip strap on quiver, the "Great Northern" strap-on model, or the thunderhorn. I don't need glitz..just good' NO SLIP, function that will hold 3 or 4 arrows when hunting. I'm not crazy about the Selway clam-on style. I think the rubber strap-on versions are less influence on the limbs. Any pros or cons I should know about before I spend my hard earned dollars???.....Thanx in advance.....John

I have only used Great Northern's, cant speak for the other brands, but i never had mine slip and it is very quiet. You probably cant go wrong with any of them though.

The Thunderhorn Mini Boa gets my vote... When using any strap-on quiver, be sure to place 'em past the fade out of the limbs... Within the riser section, away from the working part of your limbs.

* Then again... If you are shooting a take down bow... This is another story... You'll want a quiver that attaches via the limb bolts.

Only strap-on quiver I've tried is the cheapest Thunderhorn Boa. It looks decent, and fits my TD recurve perfefctly, without slipping..
Also fits a friends Tomahawk Longbow good, but not my Toelke Whip.
Those Toelkes are slimmer limbed, but a bit thicker from belly to back..

I've used them all,including Eagles's Flite and Selways.  They're all good quivers. None "influence" the limbs if they're positioned correctly. Pretty much a matter of how many arrows you want to carry and what you like to look at.

I agree with that recommendation, but among the quivers that were mentioned in the original question, it would be the Kanati.

I like the original plastic hooded Thunderhorn Boas. The newere ones are cool looking but seem a little pricey to me.

The straps are solid and quiet to take on and off in the stand or blind.

I gotta wonder how many guys have tried the Kanati cause it's the best one I've used by FAR! That said, I don't have a GN but have both the TH and the Kanati as well as many others in the past. I won't be looking for a new one.

I like the cheap Thunderhorn.  My 2 reasons, it does not slip and I can afford it.

I've used the GN and the Kanati Pro. GN worked well but I love my Kanati Pro! It looks good and works good too.

EFA makes bow quivers in many sizes and styles for 3, 4, and 5 arrows. They are lighter weight than any other quivers. The 3 arrow "Mini" only weighs 3.2 ounces. Here are 3 that we are donating to the St. Judes auction.

Here is the one on my Beeler longbow.

For light weight, I have to go with my 3 arrow EFA also. It is very light and you hardly notice it on the bow when carrying. I've just got to get used to it in a tree stand.   :D

I haven't tried them all, but the Kanati Angled is on all my bows.  There's just something about the way the arrows melt into the form of the bow that just works so well for me.

John Dill's a stand up guy as well.

The Thunderhorn Boa is a lot of bang for your buck, in my opinion.

Great Northern is the best strap on quiver ever devised.  Hasn't been change in how many years?  Something to be said for that. dino

The GN is a very good design, no doubt. But I wouldn't say it's "the best strap-on quiver ever devised". Personally, I like quivers without the "wire thing" connecting the top and bottom of the quiver. That doesn't mean it's a bad design, I just like the Kanati design better.

Great Northern.  I got a few,  love them!  Used a dremel and a conical stone grinding bit to bore out a few of the holes in each,  to fit my Ace hex blunts.  Cant go wrong with them!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
